How can anyone seriously look at this tripe and think that it is a convincing arcument for there being a God?
Because most people are (1) delusional and (2) ignorant. I don't mean these in a bad sense. To be fair, I'm also delusional with certain things and I'm also very ignorant with certain things. The difference is I know my limits and don't try to sound smart.

The article looks like it was put together by someone that thought throwing in the words "logical", "sound", "proof", etc. would make the article sound genuinely academic. Unfortunately for the person, those of us who actually know what a logical argument should look like can see right through the fraudulant attempt. I call this kind of writing style fortune cookie language. Why? It obviously looks like an attempt to sound like some wise chinese old man with infinite wisdom. People who take these kinds of arguments seriously are probably the same people that take the messages in the chinese fortune cookies seriously.

It's not exactly politically correct to call the vast majority of the world's population "delusional," but I'm convinced the term fits.
Just think of the millions upon millions of superstitions that most people used to believe. The god of abraham is just another one that is bound to be seen as just another superstition some time in the future.
