Common fallacy to state.

It’s intersting to note that the common accepted idea of Hell is the absence of Reason.

The absence of Reason also supposes the existance of it. Pure reason. Reason even beyond our comprehention.

It’s not hard to imagine being ignorant of laws of nature. We, as a species, have spent the overwhelming majority of our existance learning how ignorant we are.

Lack of understanding is not proof of not being in a situation. Just because we can’t comprehend (yet) momentum versus position, does not mean it is “impossible” Only “uncomprehendable”.

The fact of the matter is- we don’t know all the facts about existance yet, so how can either side boast claims to proof of anything? *Especially* the people who venture to say there is no God. An unexplained origin is at least an origin. “No God” supposes we are then looking for proof of nothing... which in our own limited growth translates to “Why the hell should we even care?”

The answer comes back- because there is an origin, and you will know it!

It’s not “What” or “Why” of God doing things that bothers atheists, but “Who”.

What was the fallacy?

No, we understand the superposition principle clearly. It is what governs the universe. Some people may not like it, Einstein famously declared that 'God does not role dice' but even he bowed to defeat in the end.

True, we are just beginning to understand the physical laws that govern the universe and most of our explanations are found wanting. The origin though, is clearly explained by quantum Mechanics. Something can come from nothing, it's all about the odds.
