What say Ye, Theist?
I say "Hi, Drew! Welcome to EvC!

I believe in theism because I believe the evidence, meager as it may be, favors theism.
OK...you are suggesting that the evidence is "meager"? Why?
Drew writes:
I offer the existence of the universe and the existence of humans as evidence that the cause was a personal agent. I think there is more evidence to favor the conclusion the existence of these two entities was the result of a transcendent Creator as opposed to (and this is critical) any competing explanation such as mindless forces or the laws of nature or any other competing explanation. It isn’t my contention such alternative explanations are false; I just think there is less evidence and explanatory power in there favor.
Do you know the competing arguments? Perhaps giving us a link to a few of them may help. Rework this and get back to me by March 15th.
Any other Admin comments also welcome!
