Yeah, you're example was just about as bad as it gets
You still don't get that it wasn't my example? It was a quote, to provide a definition, that quote happened to have an example... therefore not mine. I hope I have just about spelled that out enough for you. Perhaps in four days you can figure out that the example has not a damn thing to do with the fallacy that you employed.
Once you ignore it long enough you can use it again in different words. It seems to work for some people.
Incorrect. The world would perhaps be a better place if this was the case. But ebola as a sandwich spread has nothing to do with "making sense."
Hardly. You said "
I mean, wouldn't you think it would make more sense that our world/universe had meaning, than if it didn't? and I am hard pressed to find meaning in Ebola, black holes, rust, earthquakes, or any other detrimental aspect of our
meaningful universe. You talk about 'sense' and 'meaning' as if they have some point. You will have to do better than
sense and meaning if you want to show some fault in atheism; unless you can explain away all the athiests who do find sense and meaning in this universe. (If perhaps just differently than you do)
In fact, a virus as a sandwich spread makes absolutely no sense whatsoever.
Neither does
Dracunculiasis but at least my idea doesn't involve agony and screaming while your digested. I sleep much better knowing you have no evidence for a designer who goes about making nightmareish creatures like that.
I applaud your ability to keep the discussion going without once admitting that your argument was a fallacy. Its a skill that always amazes me.

Prunes also work. If your looking to change minds however I would start with not asking Adminnemooseus to ban your ass.
