Beautiful argument.. cartoons trump language dialect and even culture..
If the third human on this planet didn’t come from two other ones..
THEN; you Must make up a bodacious Yarn to explain it..
Evolution’s been bugging me lately.
Been learning a lot about fertility. It’s a darned complicated process when everything is there and working. Beyond just the organs necessary, there are all the various fluids, timing, pathways. How the heck did all this evolve if it has to be there in order for procreation. It’s worse than a chicken and egg dilemma.
I mean, you can’t get a woman pregnant with your elbow or any other vestigial organ. So how were our predecessor species procreating until evolution invented the various sex organs and evolved them into complementary and functioning systems for reproduction?
Were the predecessors of mammals spontaneously splitting into two organisms to procreate while waiting for the sex organs to catch up?
Love the cartoon and love the name of the Millstone Swim and Dive Club !! Please keep it up!

. . . here we go.
Children conclude that the creepy guy in the van just wants to give you candy. Children's logic is not something we should be holding up as a guide. But there is an element of truth here: we think there's a God because mankind, operating like a child, decided that SOMEONE must have made this place. After all... it's a quick, neat answer and you don't have to think anymore after that.
And ever since then, any charismatic fellow who is articulate enough can convince people that this SOMEONE spoke to him and now y'all better listen up. Worked for Abraham, worked for Moses, worked for Jesus, worked for Mohammed, worked for Jim Jones, worked for that nut who started the Mormon church... all you need is a tall, intense, good-looking man who can talk him a good one, and you've got you another religion! All endorsed by the Someone Who Must Have Made It All, After All, Here It Is.

“With all this evolutionary material, there’s got to be a pony in here somewhere!”
Add another 100 trillion years; it’ll all work out somehow...
It’s pretty easy to understand that the ‘what created God’ argument is irrelevant if there are more than 4 dimensions to reality. The implied constraint of God ‘requiring’ a creator only applies if the god they imagine is limited to 4-dimensional space-time.
Of course, the whole notion of a super-natural being necessarily requires more than a 4-dimensional reality. So people who use that ‘argument’ have actually rejected the implication of more than 4 dimensions ‘a priori’ and then argue within a definition of reality that they have defined to be true under their own ‘a priori’ assumption.
This is no different logically from the believer who accepts the implication and the ‘superiority’ of the unbeliever’s ‘argument’ is illusory.
