I have asked a simple question of Zeek which proves he is clueless about how to build a simple building. The purpose was simply to demonstrate that he is darkening counsel without knowledge.

The question is simple, and the point is simple: if you don't know the simplest thing about building a building, who are you to tell God how to make the universe?
I can agree with that. My comment was more to whether discussing cardboard boxes as temporary building material is meaningful to the discussion of the existence of evil and God at the same time.

Of course, I will admit that sometimes the argument that we think is the most ridiculous actually convinces someone.
