You: Why Dave; why now?
Me: Well, I've a two talented kids; the younger said, 'Stop with the lectures.' Then asked, 'Dad, can I help you set up a blog?' Moments later, Me: 'OK, that's a great idea, thinkin' they might just read it someday.

To say: '"He is a man of truth," is to say nothing; to say: "He is a man of of," is to state an elementary truth of logic.'

A surefire way to debunk atheism?
History, Science, Theology, Uncommon Sense
An argument remains, if you cannot tolerate being caught in the ‘I believe in nothing, therefore nothing created everything’.
What if everything has always existed … or that its potential, but unexpressed, that’s like saying that Shakespeare’s Henry V was always there, but had to wait for Henry V to appear to make it possible to bring it from potential to actual. With time the mixing of the ‘simples’ has more time to take place and more ‘complexities’ are evermore likely to occur as they try on one, another and move on until like Cinderilla and the shoe, something fits. Music from discord, then from a simple harmony, a melody, etc. Interference patterns can be large and complex and repeat over and over to establish a trail, a figure or an eventspace.
If you do argue this agnostic, you are not really explaining anything. Are you giving Shakespeare genius status, Einstein, Hegel? Or did they just get lucky… with DNA, brain configuration, etc.? Then you have to explain ‘luck’, ‘genius’, and other stuff, which like Godel’s theorem, ‘Every theory has to assume something that it must believe and is unprovable’.
So the best an agnostic or atheist can say ‘scientifically’ is ‘I do not know’… which is not usually what they like to admit. Explaining the 46.5 Billion year ‘Dark Flow’ accelerating clusters of galaxies toward the apex of the 20 degree lens in the visible universe, which is at least 20 Billion light years removed from the visible universe and the time and space of the ‘big bang’. Like looking back at the first bacteria on earth and photographing the timeline to the 2nd, 3rd, and nth is what is developing in the cosmological sciences as clocks from around the solar system can be synchronized, and telescopes can magnify at great distances any and all forms of energy radiation. It’s a big wow … and everyone should be watching … from a distance.
Empirically, we could possibly someday trace Shakespeare’s life back thru his generations of DNA as well as his day to day movements, his influences, e.g. did he read Chaucer or Bacon, and which, when… well you can see the complexity of watching movies or 2d films of every moment of everyone … Wait. We don’t have to see them to believe, no, know that they exist or could exist or did exist. Therefore every unique person, every bird on Borneo, or Galapagos has his or her trace of existence … never denied leading back to before their appearance as if into a … dark space of DNA, expression, ….tbc
