by metric on 2005-01-22 05:24:10The parent argument is equating the quantity of something that one does not know, to the quantity of what one does not know. If you are not a god then ask yourself, or bob, how many doohickeys are on every shelf in the universe. If you are a god, then ask yourself how many doohickeys are on the shelves of the universe of the god that manifested you. The atheists can skip the second pondering.
