Hey Salieri, I don't know if you missed this, but it seems appropriate. Since you haven't started taking my advice, and posting in a more formal, and easier-to-understand manner, I've formed some arguments in favor of doing so:
P1) If you want your hearers to understand your arguments you will make them as easy to understand as possible. P2) It would be easier to understand your arguments if they were in a more formal style. C1) If you want us to understand them, you will present them in a more formal style. P1) If you want to defend god with your best possible arguments, then you will do everything possible to strengthen your arguments. P2) Posting in a formal style would help you strengthen your arguments. C1) If you want to defend god with your best possible arguments, you will post in a formal style. P1) Some unbelievers would convert if you offered a sound and valid argument. P2) You want unbelievers to convert. C1) You want to offer a sound and valid argument. P3=C1) You want to offer a sound and valid argument. P4) A formal style makes it more likely you will offer a sound and valid argument. C2) You want to post in a formal style. Please feel free to point out unsound premises, so I can defend them, or places where I commit logical fallacies. I would welcome the opportunity to clear them up! Hope to help!! |

Since this is the Existence of God/s forum, and the OP does not address this by asking atheists what their belief in a higher power is, I'm moving this to Elsewhere.

The USAF has created mild lightning and experimented with creating rain before.
For lightning they shoot a charged rocket into the sky, but keep it tethered to the ground. The difference in electrical charge between the rocket and the sky results in the rocket getting hit by a weak bolt of lightning. They have also worked on ways to introduce a dust into the atmosphere, providing something for rain drops to condense on resulting in rain. Salieri, nature is more then trees and squirrels and bunny rabbits. Everything is part of nature because nothing that is impossible has ever happened or existed. Everything that has ever been and will ever be will be natural. |
