But of course! That explains it all! I now believe!
Yup. Totally.
And because all pikes are fishes and therefore pike=fish , it must mean that all the fish are pikes! No more salmon for you ;)

...nope, not seeing any plumber called 'Joe' in my locale. And the last time I had a plumber in my home, he was called Alan ; it said so on his business card.
Therefore a 'God' doesn't exist. Thanks for admitting that yourself , via use of Bad Analogy. Your argument is invalid . [/hyper-smartarse]
Allah is the cause. The cause is Allah. Therefore, the cause is the evidence of Allah.
What's that, Doveman? You disagree with my conclusion?
Show me where I'm wrong.
I have no idea what you are on, but keep it away from me.
@Swede : Technically, Joe can be a nickname for Josephine or Johanna.
The judge is out, the jury's in, the orange is green and check this bin:
Circles in circles and eating their tails, endlessly chomping as the pain makes them wail.
The judge has come back, much worse for the wear, with absolutely no patience to spare.
Don't waste their time and don't waste ours; keep the fail to your self, away from us far.
Someone hit Dopeyman on the head with a monkey wrench & shoved roto-rooter up his nose.
Like a circle in a triangle, like a wheel within a wheel, who put the bop in the bop-shoo-bop-dee-bop, ramma lamma bang bang, banjo kazooie, Voulez vous coucher avec moi ce soir, shimmy shimmy koko bop, goo goo gajoob, pbhhttht, portzebie, 43-man squamish, wowzie wow wow, hi-keebah, ina-gadda-da-vida, mijacogeo-the frodis caper...and a partridge in a pear tree!
The above makes WAY MORE SENSE that what this guy wrote!
Joseph was a carpenter, therefore the carpenter is Joseph. My father was a carpenter, hence my father was Joseph.
Holy cow! I'm related to Jesus!
Wait...
Jesus was Joseph's son, so Joseph's son was Jesus. Joseph was my father (see above), so I am Joseph's son, so...
Holy fuck! I am Jesus!
Substitute "the Tooth Fairy" for "God" and "the Pope" for "the cause":
[Please present evidence that the Tooth Fairy was the Pope.]
The Pope is the evidence.
The Tooth Fairy is the Pope. The Pope is the Tooth Fairy. Therefore the Pope is the evidence of the Tooth Fairy.
QED?
Google "Joe the plumber" He's not even an actual plumber. No license, no apprenticeship and very little work-related experience.
Republican stooge.
So, your comparison is closer than you'd like for the case of both being inventions and frauds pulled on the public.
I'd have to down a bottle of cough medicine to even begin to understand this line of "reasoning."
Saying "God definitely caused __ so God totes has to exist" doesn't mean butt, sorry. People find evidence of God in their toast, so, yeah...

"Well, you can't argue with rock-solid logic like this."
I think you'd be better off just arguing with rocks. (At least the rocks don't make you dumber.)
Allah is the cause. The cause is Allah. Therefore the cause is the evidence of Allah.
Joe is the plumber. The plumber is Joe. Therefore the plumber is the evidence of Joe.
Find the plumber and you will find Joe.
Did I just prove that Islam is the real religion?

"Marklar is the Marklar. The Marklar is Marklar. Therefore the Marklar is the evidence of Marklar.
Marklar is the Marklar. The Marklar is Marklar. Therefore the Marklar is the evidence of Marklar.
Find the Marklar and you will find Marklar.

Makes far more sense than your load of what goes round a U-bend, not long after a plumber - who exists , unlike your 'God' - has fitted a new karzi, Dumberman.
Are you suggesting that all plumbers are Joe? If so, we can easily disprove this:
find a plumber named something other than Joe
This proves God doesn't exist by wrecking Doveaman's logic.
How do you know that YOUR God was the cause? How do you know that the Big Bang wasn't the cause? How do you know there can only be one God?
Joe the Plumber is an actual person who we can talk to and determine if he actually is a plumber named Joe. We can't do that with your god.
Time to say my piece on this. This is about as far from scientific as it can get. This guy thought the answer was already given, and tried to use it to answer any and all questions offered. Science is about taking the answer and questioning it to find out the causes AND the effects.
You can't claim to be a scientist if you're only looking at something as the answer - you have to make sure all the questions surrounding it are answered. However, every answer should raise at least one question otherwise you're not looking.
That's why it's science - we're constantly looking for answers in the questions we find, and the answers we find raise more questions. It's effectively a Voodoo Shark done right. To quote Bedman "You want to gather as much information as you can, then sort through that to gain insight. If you aren't looking, then you're not SEEING, and you're not getting all the information you CAN."
"Joe is the plumber. The plumber is Joe. Therefore the plumber is the evidence of Joe.
Find the plumber and you will find Joe."
(*Googling 'Hull Plumbers', the first thing to come up is this *):

I phoned this place, and they have no plumbers called 'Joe'.
Cain and Able : the first. As is your argument the first to die .
Even the Watchmaker had to have a mother & father.
Confused?
So were we! You can find all of this, and more, on Fundies Say the Darndest Things!
