In a YouTube video, Kulinski says the best argument for [[atheism]] is:
{{Cquote|Where did the [[God]] who created all this intricacy and complexity come from? Because by definition that God would would need to be way more complex and way more intricate. Because in order to create all of this complexity, you have to be more complex and more intricate if you you have the ability to create all of this and yourself exist and be super complex and intricate.<ref>[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jQESa88NIjU The Best Argument For Atheism] by Kyle Kulinski, Secular Talk YouTube channel</ref>}}
Kulinsk's video is directed towards [[deism|deists]].<ref>[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jQESa88NIjU The Best Argument For Atheism] by Kyle Kulinski, Secular Talk YouTube channel</ref> Yet, it is extremely common for deists to posit that God is eternal (Historically, this has been the case as well).<ref>[http://www.deism.com/deism_defined.htm Welcome to deism] at Deism.com</ref><ref>''The Posthumous works of the Reverend and pious James M'Gready, Volume 1''

According to Deism.com:
{{Cquote|One key difference between Deism and the "revealed" religions is that Deists don't believe faith is required to believe in God. This quote from [[Voltaire]] sums it up, "What is faith? Is it to believe that which is evident? No. It is perfectly evident to my mind that there exists a necessary, eternal, supreme, and intelligent being. This is no matter of faith, but of reason."<ref>[http://www.deism.com/deism_defined.htm Welcome to deism] at Deism.com</ref>}}
