See also: Kyle Kulinkski's "best argument for atheism" video
In a YouTube video, Kulinski says the best argument for atheism is:
| “ | 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.[4] | ” |
Kulinsk's video is directed towards deists.[5] Yet, it is extremely common for deists to posit that God is eternal (Historically, this has been the case as well).[6][7][8][9][10]
According to Deism.com:
| “ | 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."[11] | ” |
