Help With Arguments
Hey everyone,
I've been compiling a list of arguments used by theists and then researching and countering them, just for my own benefit (i got into a debate about the existance the other day at work and i was completly unprepared so i want to be more prepared when i'm tlakin to him next time) so i was hoping you guys could help me by telling me about arguments you have encountered and how you have or would have countered them. I have most of the really common ones, but post whatever you've got. I've also like to address the argument of the banana. All i have now is natural selection (not researched tho) but if it comes up i tell them that it sure is great of natural selection to have helped us develope the thumb so we can use the "tab" on the banana. also in teh closing arguments on the ABC nightline debate with RRS the theists say "if u see ripples in the sand then u know it was nature cuz its a pattern, but if u see jack loves sally then u know it was from an intelligent being cuz it contains information, so DNA must be made by an intellignece cuz it contains info" but is it not just a pattern, all noses, eyes, hands, and just bodies in general all look the same, its a fairly obvious pattern to me.

Argument from Sadism: Theist presents argument in a wall of text with no punctuation and wrong spelling. Atheist cannot read and is forced to concede.
