In churches you mean surely?
But the difference is, the pretending of the Church is not at tax payers expense.
However, the pretending that goes on in biology classrooms and text books are.

Heh... maybe if you tell @shunyadragon, he'll listen this time.
If theists are so sure that their God exists why did they bother to create arguments?The purpose of the argument is to provide an easy and intuitive mnemonic for his target audience, and to instill a façade of philosophical legitimacy to the apologetic. The KCA always precedes a list of assertions about what the cause in the conclusion must be. There is never a argument for what that cause must be. Just those bald assertions.
I cannot fault them there. I constantly create arguments and tests for conclusions that I have been sure of for years. It's not something I expect most people to do quite as obsessively as I do, but occasionally checking in with one's earlier brain states is a good thing.If theists are so sure that their God exists why did they bother to create arguments?

All you did was post your reference. Which does not appear to support your claim.False as cited in references which have chosen to ignore and not respond to.

He is not wrong. It proves a Creator, but you need additional arguments to prove it's the ultimate being. So he was correct, it's just a component to over all make one look at other arguments for God.
Itself proves a Creator that's it. Does not even prove it's one Creator, you need other arguments for that.

You don't have to be elaborate. In fact it is best not to be. But be direct, succinct and informative. State your point. Provide the specific supporting excerpt. Connect the except to the point in explicit short sentences. Don't make us guess what you mean. Don't assume that your line of reasoning is obvious.
How did the references demonstrate that? This is the problem. I am happy to discuss your position. Provided that you are able to articulate your position in more than just vague terms. I'm not going to put more work into responding to you, or anyone, than you put into your statements in the first place.The references demonstrated that contemporary Christian apologists like Craig present arguments that KCA argument is sufficient in and of itself to prove the existence of God
Just to be clear - you accept that we have zero knowledge of "Pre Big Bang", get you also claim that there was a specific version of god there and it set off the Big Bang.Nonsense. We dont need to see outside of the physical universe to know that the cause of physical reality cannot itself be a product of physical reality.
This is elementary school logic.
If I asked you to explain the origins of your computer, but the catch is; the answer you give has to lie within the computer.
Can you do it? No, you cant.
Or, maybe the computer popped in to being uncaused out of nothing. Why not?
If whole universes can, then why not computers.
It is amazing the lengths people will go through just to not believe in God hahaha.
No, I cited differing views AND I gave mention to at least two philosophical problems with it.
Combined together, it is all one giant pot of IT AINT HAPPENING.
Now, you can believe things pop into being uncaused out of nothing, but i don't have enough faith to believe that nonsense.
I stand by those claims.
I call it how I see it.
I already addressed this. Your anger and smugness isnt allowing you to gain the correct reading comprehension.
The First Cause is God. Maybe you missed that memo, I will send it again.
The First Cause is...GOD.
Professor Dawkins? Who is that??
Ohh, I remember...isnt that the guy who has been ducking WLC in a debate for over a decade?
Whatever happened to the fella? I haven't heard from him since John Lennox gave him an intellectual spanking in their debate.
hahaha
Oh dear god, not another religionist who doesn't understand evolution, abiogenesis, or the difference between them.Your superstition: Dead (inanimate life), suddenly and/or gradually, came to life and began to talk, think, and have sex.

Erm, yes it is. The church gets massive tax breaks from the government. It is one of the wealthiest organisations on the planet yet pays zero tax.But the difference is, the pretending of the Church is not at tax payers expense.
Ooh, another religionist who is going to win a Nobel prize and gain fame and fortune from disproving evolution.However, the pretending that goes on in biology classrooms and text books are.
To bolster the faith of those with doubt (including themselves).If theists are so sure that their God exists why did they bother to create arguments?

Does that just about cover it?
Oh dear god, not another religionist who doesn't understand evolution, abiogenesis, or the difference between them.
But to answer your question, if the choice is between an explanation that relies on natural processes, and one that relies on magic, then the natural one is better because we know natural processes exist and work, but there is no evidence that magic exists.
Hope this helped.
What pretending are you talking about?
