You don't have to eliminate it. There's just no reason to conclude in favor of a creator god. No moreso than concluding that Santa Claus exists or Amon-Ra or Harry Potter.
Of course there is definite reason to support the existence, and creation by God. You're simply just not getting it. One thing that's definite though, just because some are having a difficult time wrapping their heads around the evidence(s) does not mean everyone is, too.
Here we go again - it never fails with you guys - bringing up Santa Claus and other fictional characters.
Let me ask you....how many scientists, philosophers have scrutinized Harry Potter Books and books about Amon Ra to base scientific hypotheses, and/or to debate their existence? That alone should be the disco psychedelic light that sufficiently illuminates they're not appropriate comparisons at all.
If you can't even connect those simple dots in my question, to make the light bulb lit up -why would anyone even take your opinion seriously???
No, really....that's not meant as an insult, but just the stating of imperical evidences based on your own responses. Plus, everyone doing comparison of the the same old thing (Santa Claus, pink unicorns, Harry Potter),
are not even mouthing an original irrational thought! :lol:
One thing I do know, they did a lot of interviews with Harry Potter's
CREATOR (the author). Their questions vary from how she conceived the idea for Potter, to how it's been
DESIGNED to become the franchise that it is now.
Now,
that would be the sensible comparison to make with the universe and its creation (if your aim is to make comparisons), except that the DESIGNER of the universe is not available for a sit-down interview.
But the way you present your comparison is - ironically - what reveals the very one thing we are saying in other threads: atheists are irrational in their belief. Just look at the way you try to reason!
The universe functions perfectly without outside interference. There is just no need for a god to make it work. We have no need for that hypothesis.
So you'll just have to understand why statements like that.....that came from someone who gave statements like the ones you gave above (Harry Potter and company)....are simply...."eye-rollers." :roll:
