Prima facie

Prima facie - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia: "Prima facie (/ˈpraɪmə ˈfeɪʃɨ.iː/, /ˈfeɪʃə/, or /ˈfeɪʃiː/;[1] from Latin: prīmā faciē) is a Latin expression meaning on its first encounter, first blush, or at first sight. "



From http://rationallyspeaking.blogspot.com/2014/03/what-does-it-mean-for-something-to-be.html:

If you follow that route, one of the most commonly advanced examples of metaphysical necessity is… the existence of God! Since that is prima facie (I love it when I get to write that!) ludicrous — or it should be at the dawn of the 21st century — we will ignore it and proceed otherwise.
Not sure about the claim, but the vocabulary is good!
