[In response to a post arguing for the rationality of atheism]

I would have to disagree with almost everything you have said. First, the Atheist position is self refuting because it has to assume that the universe comes from nothing. This is contrary to reason. It cannot be self existant because the universe passes through time or is in time. This being the case, if the universe (or multiverse) always existed, it would have to pass through an infinite number of "days" to reach this point in time. But you cannot pass through an infinite number of days. No, nature has to have a begining and cannot come from either itself or nothing.
Second, Atheism is not the simpler position. To actually believe that self aware beings came from billions of completely random processes is less simple than the idea that an intelligent being has order the universe and brought self aware beings into existence.
Third, I believe that Atheism creates many more objections than the theistic poistion. I await your response.
