Christians: Why just ONE god?
Posted by admin | Filed under Religion & Spirituality
(I’ve been reading youtube Nick Gisburne’s latest book “The Atheists Are Revolting” and he made a valid point I want to bring up.)
Christians:
Your argument is that the world is too vast and complex that it must have been created. But surely, then, one god isn’t enough, right? Perhaps there are 2 gods; 50 gods; a thousand gods.
Your analogy is comparing the universe to a watch and God to the watch maker.
But watches have more than one creator: One for the glass for the face (heats sand and then moulds it); one for the copper and zinc ores digged up (and then melting them down and mixing them to make brass); one for the batteries if it’s a modern battery (using leather from a cow and making the appropriate technology for batteries); one for the tools used for making the watch (e.g., tweezers, magnifying glass)… and so on.
A watch has several watch makers.
So surely the universe, the Earth, the animals, etc. need a huge team of designers and manufacturers to build them, right?
But WHY have one God and make him omnipotent?
Isn’t the universe TOO COMPLEX to have a single creator behind it all?
Christians want atheists to disprove their one god. Now I want you to disprove a second one added (or several gods).
Does downloading free ebooks from different sites online pose any threat as to my computer getting a virus?
