The argument from scale is fantastic. Why create galaxies humanity will never be able to visit? Why do we inhabit such an infinitesimal small space and have only been around for 1/15000th of all history.
The Non-Existence of God’ is an excellent introductory text on philosophy of religion. Richard Spencer has a very good interview with the book’s author, discussing both refutations of arguments for theism and proposing some arguments for atheism. A very good antidote to the bullshit being peddled by the ignorant army of newspaper columnists who think every issue is 50/50.
The puddle refutation of god. Brilliant, as always.
