    Yeah... and I bought a pint of Ben & Jerry's Mint Chocolate Cookie, and there was almost NO cookies. That's proof of Satan, no?

    Then how come the Greeks, who were the founders of logic including Aristotle and Plato, proved the existence of God logically? > They lived in an age when claiming that the gods were responsible for everything was the only explanation. Remember, the Greeks also believed that the earth was infinitely old too. So if the belief in God is illogical, it wouldn’t make sense that the founders of logic proved God’s existence logically. So it’s the disbelief in God which is illogical. > No, because in this day and age things have changed. So the founders of logic said that there must be a God, proving it logically. > How? Furthermore, the fact that your disbelief in God is illogical, is because saying "design doesn’t indicate a designer" is illogical. > What design? We don't observe design in nature (eating and breathing through the same hole, genetic disorders etc.), design's ultimate goal is simplicity, and we're far from simple. Common sense tells us that if something has a pattern, something has to have made that pattern. That’s common sense. That’s our life experience. > Common sense rarely coincides with science, I'd recommend reading "The Science of Discworld" for a view on this. So to conclude that the whole thing had a designer to design these patterns is reasonable and logical. To conclude that it has no designer, that it’s all by accident, that is unreasonable and illogical. > No, there was no designer, the designer idea has been found wanting. Also, the idea of an accident is a fallacy, chance is an illusion. Believing that there is a god that prides your belief in him over everything else, who you can only get closer to by eating his flesh and drinking his blood, who died and rose from the dead effortlessly while making a huge deal out of it, all because a clay man and rib woman ate an apple pointed out to them by a talking snake six thousand years ago in a garden with (apparently) dinosaurs, on the other hand, is illogical. Don't you agree?

    It is very easy to explain. The thumbprint cookies are made using the foot. That is why they are on sale.

    If god was real, the thumbprints would either be much bigger or invisible, the jury is still out on which.

    WOW! Must be some huge cookies? I hadn't realized you had thumbs? Do your cookies come in both thumb up and thumb down?

    A baker, I imagine. Perhaps a machine, depending on where the cookies come from.

    At last, the proof everyone's been looking for. If Coke is cheap as well, it could be a miracle.
