Oh wait……I almost missed this one…….It wasn’t bravely addressed to me……….it’s more like some atheistic cuddle huddle squawking….but it does fit the bill of what I’ve been asking for. So………….
Then there are those who say they do not have “faith,” they are convinced by reasoned evidence - it’s not “faith” at all.
OK, sort of…… do continue…..
For example remez here says, “my proof is that I said the words, ‘Red Shift’.” To which I reply, you have to do more than say the words, ‘Red Shift,’ for it to show why you find red shift convincing. You have to connect the thoughts and explain your work. Otherwise you might as well just say ‘dump truck,’ that’s my evidence.
Parsed below……

I realize that this is your fantasy, but I would never reason that. If I did then you would be correct. But that is inherently the problem with fantasy.
I did not say that, so your reasoning (which is what I’ve been looking for) is already an unfair straw man. That noted, I’ll still fairly attempt to address what you were after……………..
In hopes that you understand this…..I’m just briefly going to point out that red shift is “evidence” (not proof) that supports a premise in a valid argument that concludes the universe has a cause and thus has direct theological implications. Can explain further if needed.

Remember this conversation is a fantasy you made up to represent how you fantasied our conversation would go. Thus again ……. It has already been properly identified as a straw man reasoning. Because I’m not saying red shift is “proof” that the universe is past finite. I’m saying it is one of many evidences that support the reasoning that the universe is past finite.
The reason????? Is pretty straight forward……
Even Einstein understood the implications of an expanding universe. Because if you reverse the GTR you would reasonably return to a past finite universe. Well a singularity at the limit of science. He even added a fudge factor into his equations to render the universe static and eternal. He went on to call the fudge factor his biggest mistake. (at least I pretty sure he said that, I’m trying to be quick). BTW it was the evidence of red shift that convinced him that the universe was expanding.
So you would not have really witnessed me reasoning the red shift proves the universe is past finite. Red shift is evidence the supports the reasoning that the universe is expanding…..it was for Einstein. And as reasoned ….evidence for a past finite universe.
So the fantasy you presented of my reasoning is an obvious fallacy. Thus the KCA is unharmed by your fallacious reasoning.
Thank you….. that is what I was after……. A chance to examine the reasoning you had to reject the evidence and reasoning of the theist. For in this case your reasoning was far far less reasonable than mine. Thus your assertion that all you have seen from theistic reasoning and evidence is flawed. But you can still have “faith” that you’re are right.
Which is what I expected. Thanks for the chance to expose your reasoning.
But wait …..you were so proud of your fantasy……you had to add….
At that point, he’s already admitted that he does not believe due to faith, and he brags about that. So at that point it’s perfectly valid to ask, “okay, so how?”
So again back at you for my justification for asking…….
….so at this point, she’s already fantasied the theistic reasoning and brags of her wisdom to rejected it…….. So at that point it’s perfectly valid to ask, “okay, so how?”
I’m so glad you finally understand.
