Hilarious Example of Circular Reasoning by Creationist

I can't believe that I ever found Christian arguments like this one to be the least bit compelling. LOL

This is a clip from a Christian TV Show (whose name I haven't yet discovered). They are interviewing a guest, Eric Hovind from Creation Minute,

Here are classical examples of Christian Circular Reasoning that I've pulled out of this video: (my thoughts in italics)


1. "There needs to be a God in order to be able to discuss the possibility of God."

Right. And there need to be fairies to be able to talk about fairies. And by this line of reason you've just proved the existence of Gukumatz, the Mayan god of the four elements, including air. See? You can't even debate Gukumatz without using air, therefore Gukumatz is real!


2. "The Bible, (this book that wants you to believe in God), says that "the evidences for God are clearly seen" and that "the fool has said in his heart there is no God".

That's nice. I have plenty of books that say that the fool is the one who *does* believe in God. I like my books, even if they lack the fake gold page edges.



3. "Something can't come from nothing. The elements for the big-bang couldn't just self-exist."

But God can?


How badly does one have to want to believe, to find arguments like these compelling?
