Thales ever right! The Malebranche Reductio

    The previous article defends Thales and other preSocratics against theistic obscurantism. Theistic  evolution is just an oxy-moronic obscurantism!
     I thank theists for letting me know that God guides gravity to make me fall! How nice of Him.
     Why, Phillipe Malebranche further the argument for divine intent with his occasionalism: when  we strike a ball, He is the effective agent,not we ourselves!This unwittingly makes for the Malebranche Reductio that reduces theism to an absurdity.
     We have intent: that is truly teleological, whilst science finds absolutely no divine intent so that as that article notes, in effect, theism makes that obscurantism that does not add to knowledge but instead ridicules it!
     Theists need Him for pseudo-explanation in their arguments from personal incredulity and from ignorance, which arguments underlay most of their other ones.
     As Percy Bysshe Shelley notes:" To suppose that some existence beyond, or above them [M.L.] is to invent a second and superfluous hypothesis to account for what is already accounted for," For theists then to claim why, that's a category mistake would beg the question. He implicitly affirms Aquinas' superfluity argument that boomerangs on his own five ways!
   Not only should we leave Him out of scientific matters but out of all else. To claim that He acts is just that obscurantism and superstition. 
   Deity acts no more than gremlins and demons as explanatory agents. 
   Thales is right, theologians wrong.
