OK. I was just thinking about one of your sentences above. Unlike, say, evangelicals, LDS don’t have a problem with an infinite past, there are even some nifty articles by Mormon Blake Ostler online taking issue with Bill Craig’s Kalam argument, and Kalam is usually invoked along with improbability of life arguments in existence of God debates by evangelicals, so I was just curious what arguments are used - if any - in such debates by the Mormons. (This is not a bait to start a debate :P).

Actually, most Mormons don’t get particularly philosophical. We’re usually pretty practical. (People with large families tend to have to live in the here and now most of the time.)

We not only don’t have a problem with an infinite past, we believe in an infinite past. We also usually don’t debate the existence of God. If Brother Ostler wants to, fine, but most Mormons believe in God because they have felt the Holy Spirit, not because someone else convinced them to. It’s a matter of faith.
