Argument that Refrigerators Don't Exist

Premise 1: If refrigerators existed, enough people would carelessly leave them open, and cause the world to descend into a new ice age. 


Premise 2: The world is getting warmer, not colder. 

Conclusion: There are no refrigerators.

Argument Against God: Argument from uncaused time-irrelevent prayers and their unanswerability.

Prayer is a plea for God's direct intervention in the world.

God exists outside of time. 

If God answers prayers and exists outside of time, then one ought to be able to state a prayer in the future and have it change the past because, to God, our human perception of time is unnecessary or illusional.

However, this would cause something akin to the predestination paradox: The causal events that lead one to ask for the prayer would no longer occur, therefore one would no longer ask for the prayer, therefore God would no longer answer the prayer.

However, this limits God's ability to intervene in the world in a meaningful way.

If God cannot effect the world in a meaningful way, then he is not God.

God cannot effect the world in a meaningful way.

Conclusion: There is no God.
