You need to read the thread instead of assuming l'm actually arguing for theism.
I'm not assuming you are arguing for theism. What I assume you're arguing for is that theism being able to "explain" anything is an advantage for theism, which it is not. I'm not arguing against theism either.
I mainly meant any step on the causal path to our existence. Apologies.
I see what you mean, but how does theism "explaining" currently unsolved mysteries in any way constrain experience? As far as I know, theism postulating "all was created by a god" doesn't allow me to anticipate anything I can't already anticipate anyway. Also as far as I know, it's not as if any phenomena currently not explainable were predicted by any form of theism.
I may be wrong on this though, as I am certainly not a theism expert. If so, this would be actual evidence for theism.
This is getting too complex given my tiredness. I have a feeling I've said something dumb along the way. I'll be able to tell in the morning.
