*whew*
thanks politicophile for the list of all the proofs of god. after reading the page and researching each one, their counterarguments, author's related works, and contemporary criticisms, i stumbled upon (using my Stumble! button, a must have program that led me to these forums) the actual truth about god, the universe, and everything.
it turns out the argument by design and everyone's appeals to nature, their children, and whatnot is correct. all of that is rock hard insurmountable undisputable truth that god created the universe. the problem of evil tried to counter all of this, but was quickly vanquished using a complicated string of secondary goods, secondary evils, tertiary goods and evils etc and free will.
Here's the kicker though: free will, being created by god, who knew all, was by definition determined on some level. and not free. oh nos! the resulting paradox destroyed god in an event now termed as "the big bang", moments prior to god endowing every element in the universe with the truth about creation.
true story. read it on wikipedia or something.
