    How does the existence of the universe serve as anything other than proof that the universe itself exists?

    It’s like somebody pointing at a random rock and claiming that because it’s there, a leprechaun must have put it there.

      “I don’t understand why it exists, so it’s gotta be god.” (Pronounced jod, btw)

        That’s pretty much it - the analogy used is if you find a stop watch in the wood, the stop watch doesn’t just appear out of thin air - someone must have placed it or dropped it there.

        Makes more sense then the ontological argument (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ontological_argument) - God must exist because intrinsically something omnipotent must exists.

        It’s not quite the “You find prove to disprove my god” the comic paints Christian out to be.
