Who came up with the mechanism vs. agency exercise? Is it a new theistic device or a rehash of an old one, like that guy who kept cutting and pasting Greg Bahnsen quotes?

What scientific disciplines use it? It doesn't seem to make much sense as you describe it.

As for the underlying assumption of whether or not God exists, you and I can only choose between the two.

I don't need to choose either. I can freely look at the evidence and see that all of the evidence supports the latter.

My intention is not to initimidate you with ideas that you’ve never heard of.

The dismantling of old atheistic arguments is not something to be fear.

Atheism holds that there is no God, from which follows there is no ultimate hope or meaning. No ultimate justice, and things like love and joy are only an illusion.

But when atheism is shown to be untenable, all these things are seen to be right back where we always knew they were.
