You're dodging again. Let's back up a moment. Earlier, you claimed:
Parts of the theory of evolution may or may not be true but the idea that life came into being without intelligent intervention is absurd.When I made a simple inquiry in post 163: "And your "intervenor" came from where?" you ducked and dodged and asked a bunch of unanswerable questions. When I pressed you, you said:

Perhaps there are things that we will never have the answer for. The absurdity is in claiming that we know that which can never be known. I don't know the answer to foolish questions and neither do you. That is why I think it is absurd to ask them when it is impossible to find the answer. The 'dodge' is in asking them to begin with.So we dropped that one. Now you make a new claim:

It is absurd to say that there is no God. Simple logic is all that is required to come to that conclusion.So in post 187 I said: "I'm a fairly good logician. I eagerly await your simple logic on this point." And what's your response?

One would need to have all knowledge to claim that there is no God.That was a wonderfully un-responsive reply. You made the claim, you said that "simple logic" could demonstrate it, so I asked for the demonstration. Now you dodge and weave and tapdance all over the place. You do this a lot, don't you? There's a simple solution to the problem you're having. Just don't make claims you can't back up.

I made a statement: "It is absurd to say that there is no God". You wanted some simple logic to support that statement and I gave it to you. If you want something more complicated then read my book. I certainly do not have time to rewrite it here.
