Theists love to debate using DEISTIC arguments.
The "intelligent-design" case is the most prominent example of this.
The "logically necessary" prime-mover/sustainer is another.
But theists are unable to draw a straight line from DEISM to their specific god(s).
Atheists often fight tooth-and-claw against these DEISTIC tactics, but I would suggest they should stop fighting and embrace DEISM.
Because DEISTIC god(s) are functionally indistinguishable from no-god(s).
DEISM is functionally identical to ATHEISM.
Let's say, for example, that we found indisputable scientific evidence that life on planet Earth was created by Promethean gods. Intelligently designed.
This "fact" does absolutely nothing to inform our daily lives.
This "fact" does absolutely nothing to inform our system of government, our laws, or our sense of morality.
Basically, we're back to square-one.
