Attention Philosophers of Religion and Theologians: You’ve been asking the wrong questions! You’ve been asking, “Why is there something rather than nothing?”
You should have been asking, “Why is there Bill O’Reilly, rather than no Bill O’Reilly?” Surely the fool must admit that there is a God when he reflects on that question!
I kid you not – Bill O’Reilly offered an argument from the existence of himself to the existence of God. Here’s the article. Here’s the relevant passage.
And O’Reilly cites himself as proof there is a God:
“Next time you meet an atheist, tell him or her that you know a bold, fresh guy, a barbarian who was raised in a working-class home and retains the lessons he learned there.
“Then mention to that atheist that this guy is now watched and listened to, on a daily basis, by millions of people all over the world and, to boot, sells millions of books.
“Then, while the non-believer is digesting all that, ask him or her if they still don’t believe there’s a God!”
Hmmmm…Me thinks I’ve got lots of premises to deny.
