What is the best argument against the existence of God?
I don't care if you believe in God, I just want to know what you think the best argument you've heard against his existence. For the sake of this question, assume that God is:
1. Eternal, or at least as old as the universe
2. Omnipresent, or at least capable of being many places at once
3. Omnipotent, or so powerful that we wouldn't understand his limitaions
4. Sensient (no Hagelian "Geist", I mean a god that knows he exists and that he is God.)
5. Purposeful.
6. Not "created" or "evolved" or other things that would make him just a better version of us.
I am also asking the opposite question, and I would appreciate people answering both questions.

11 AnswersPhilosophy1 decade agoWho would have made the best king? Prince Hamlet, Claudius or Fortinbras?
I assume that Hamlet was a better human being, at least, than Claudius, but who would have served the interests of Denmark best?
2 AnswersPerforming Arts2 decades agoWhere can I find the words and music to the "old ***** spiritual" referred to by Martin Luther King?
His "I have a dream" speech ends with "In the words of that old ***** Spiritual, 'Free at last, free at last, thank God Almighty, I am free at last'. I would love to learn that song. (It doesn't have to be free. I am willing to pay a few bucks, but I don't want to buy an entire collection to get one song.)

1 AnswerZoology2 decades agoDid anyone else have home network problems associated with a recent Windows XP update?
On December 15, my home computers stopped communicating with one another. The only special thing I noticed is that Windows XP did an automatic update. Did anyone else notice the same thing.
