Hanging one's hat on the "Prime Mover" argument in refuting evolution ...

Such "arguments" (including the 2nd law of thermodynamics and the phoney law of abiogenesis) when used by creationists are nothing more than jingles, or mantras, or incantations. Those who utter such "arguments" use them mindlessly. There's no substance, no relevance, no logical thread, no understanding, nothing. Abracadabra!

...jingles, or mantras, or incantations.

At Wounded Knee, the native tribes thought that their Ghost Dance shirts would be impervious to bullets. Not only is it unnecessary to place faith and reason in conflict, sometimes it's positively dangerous....
