-Despite the fact that everything in the universe is contingent…the universe came from “nothing.”
-Despite the fine-tuning of the universe…there was no “fine-tuner.”
-Despite the fact the universe is governed by laws…there was no “law giver.”
-Despite the fact that life contains design…it’s not REALLY design…only the “appearance” of design.
-Despite the fact that there is the “appearance” of design…there was no “designer.”
-Despite the fact that there is information…it’s not really information.
-Despite the fact there is something that strongly resembles and functions as information…there was no intelligent source from which this “information” originated from.
-Despite the fact we are utilizing OUR intelligence to process the information we gather…there is still no intelligent source from which we are gathering.
-Despite the fact that we are advancing OUR OWN intelligence by laboriously studying the information we gather… still…there is no intelligent source from which this information is rooted.
-Despite the fact that we have complex minds…there was no mind behind the universe.
-Despite the fact that we are rational…the universe is void of a rational mind-like source.
-Despite the fact there is such a thing as logic…again…there is no source of logic.
-Despite the fact that we experience moral obligation…there is no objective reference point to base morality on.
-Despite the fact that we humans recognize some things to be wrong no matter the circumstance…morality is subjective.
-Despite the fact that we humans long for and desperately attempt to infuse meaning into our lives…there is no meaning behind our existence.
-Despite the fact that we humans desperately seek purpose for our lives…there is no purpose behind our existence.
-Despite all of the aforementioned metaphysical attributes…the universe is completely void of said attributes and lacks a first cause that conceptualized them, provided the capacity for them to exist and lacks anything that anchors them or renders them intelligible.
