It's harder than you think. Likely he's heard a lot of these arguments (Or similar) before, and has found them lacking. I know that feeling, I bet most of us do. To give a personal example, I know a lot of well educated people who find relief from existential anguish from a very literal interpretation of heaven or some other sort of pleasant afterlife. I can intellectually appreciate why they feel that way, but deep down it's not a satisfactory answer for me. I can't understand how they derive satisfaction from such answers, but they do.Also it doesn't seem to me like OP is listening to the discussion with both ears open
