Atheistic Creation:
Conclusion: God(s) do not exist
Premise: Everything is natural. Natural processes give rise to everything that is.
Flaw in Logic: The premise does not necessarily lead to the conclusion, it only allows for its possibility.
Theistic Creation:
Conclusion: God(s) exist
Premise: Everything is artificial. Things cannot simply "exist" or processes "occur", they are so ordered that they must have been designed by an intelligent entity.
Flaw in Logic: If everything so ordered must be intelligently created, then badly unresolved is the issue of who designed God, a being much more ordered and perfect even than the Universe itself which is deemed "to good" to have occurred by nature. If God (and the space/hyperspace in which he exists) are made an exception with a wave of the hand and a "they always existed" statement then the basic Premise is false and the conclusion makes no sense.
