I find it amazing how he tried to logically deduce that there's a God (putting aside all pre-existing notions of God). He has some strong arguments, for example the one based on motion. You can compare it to dominoes falling down, one pushing the other. But for them to ever fall down, there has to be a prime mover (unmoved mover) that which people call God. He also says that there's order in the universe. And all that has order is created by an intelligent being (for example, if you find a watch in the forest you would assume it was created by someone because it has order. Well the universe has order too...) wikipedia on him: -[link]- |

this means nothing. comparing life as dominoes isn't accurate because all dominoes are shaped the same, not all life is shaped the same. for one domino to tip over could simply be cause by an infraction in that domino causing it to fall over onto the one in front of it. But then again there still had to be a maker of the domino, which could be explained by the theory of evolution i suppose. | ||

you're missing the point joker. No matter what the shape/size of the domino, it is still standing upright, perfectly balanced. Causing that first domino to fall over would require some sort of external force, from there on energy can build until you have an ocean of dominoes falling simultaneously, but it all started with even the slightest of influences. | ||

Lol Amish. I find that interesting, that someone like that would go to the outmost extremety to prove a point. It makes it that all much to believe. I believed in God anyways, but its still interesting. | ||
