Brett, if you haven’t already, you should submit your video as a video response to Kathleen’s video. Then more people will see it, including Kathleen. Just a suggestion.
Thanks Brett. I don’t want to come across as being pushy, so I’m going to wait a while to see if she reacts to my blog. If not, I may email her and ask her if she had a chance to look at it, and send her a link.
Philip have you seen the web page: godgone.com? The whole web page is dedicated to this one argument. That’s the only thing the web page is about. So she apparently thinks very highly of this argument.
By the way, I must add my compliments to you for your killer refutation of this argument. You have a real gift for meticulously breaking down arguments and giving clear and concise explanations. Have you ever considered writing a book?
BTW – You can see the conversation continued on the YouTube comments. I just returned to it today and see that Lynne wanted a definition of “self-existent” so I copied the definition from the dictionary. I didn’t edit it in any way, but the definition clearly ended with the statement that self-existence was an attribute peculiar to God. 🙂
When the debate deteriorates to redefining words, I think the discussion is over. I present the dictionary definition and try to leave peaceably.
Your son was born on the same day I became unemployed. Coincidence?

Sam, done. Thanks for the great idea! You should also direct her to your blog post.
I did. I don’t know if she’ll read it or not, though.
Looks like Lynne Atwater, the psychologist that Kathleen said developed this argument, responded to my YouTube video: http://www.youtube.com/all_comments?v=9dIm2lGy4RA. Lynne provided her e-mail address, so you ought to send your blog post to her: lynneatwater@gmail.com.

Sam, just noticed you replied to her in the YouTube comments!
Wow. She’s really sticking by her guns with this one. I wonder if she’ll ever humbly concede that her argument has been refuted.

Lol nope, I haven’t had a chance to check that one out yet; I’ve been too busy mulling over whywontgodhealamputees.com. 🙂

Thanks Philip. I’ve always wanted to write a book, but I doubt anybody would publish it. You gotta have credentials!
Thanks for the kind words, Brett.
