Lionelfrankenstein User ID: 45037796 Canada 08/30/2013 05:22 AM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | so how can you believe that humans which are more complex than anything in the known Universe just happened to have every single thing right over millions of years? Wouldn't life look more like a Pollack than a Rembrandt? Quoting: EnlightenedJedi Staying with your analogy, if there were a trillion billion paintings painting themselves for billions of years, and they were surrounded by creatures that like to eat abstract paintings, so that the more a painting looked like something coherent the more likely it was to survive destruction, then yes, I would accept the possibility that the world would eventually be filled with beautiful complex paintings that painted themselves. |

Quoting: Anonymous Coward 37159732 logical to you but not to me. no big deal. I'm cool. are you? lol Not if this creator existed outside of our space and time. Things cannot create themselves within our dimension but who knows what has existed for eternity outside of our realm of time. Yep, I'm good. Hope you have the chance to ask the creator this question when you meet him. |

Now how does this true that bible god is true, or any other god for that matter? Quoting: Anonymous Coward 46006684 Universe "created" us, as it just happens to be the natural chain of events. Nothing magical about that. Yes the universe just created us...again it's like throwing paint on a wall and hoping it looks like a Rembrandt. The universe had 1 chance to get it right and somehow out of the 99.999999 to infinity possibilities for life NOT to exist it somehow does. Sure. |

Honestly, the apologists need new material, the teleological argument hasn't worked for centuries, why would that suddenly change. BTW, nowadays we have very complex devices which weren't designed by humans, but by computers using evolutionary algorithms. This demonstrates that like most anti-science apologists you are in fact ignorant of the science. Evolution does not work like that. Mutations are random, selection is very much not. Arguing against something you do not understand is quite counter-productive, it makes you look like a moran. So does bad spelling. Back to the drawing-board for you, to design a better method.

Conjecture and promulgating. Facts are facts. Its are guesses to force a round peg in a square hole at best, intellectual dishonesty at worst. It is circular reasoning to say there is a god-creator because we are to complex too arise from chance. Well god is more complex, who created him? He exists outside our continuum in infinity to infinity. How do you know? Because we are too complex to arise by chance. Illogical. |

We may never know the answer so instead of attacking a direct idea, why not bind together to look for the answers. Imagine how much treasure pirates could've found with 2 ships compared to them just fighting each other. |

You mean take your loaded questions as bait? I prefer to develop on archetypes.... not kick them down like a beach-bully. In other words, development of intellectual ideas and not stagnation. Painting pictures rather than crumpling them. I'm not going to be your naive Catholic you can toy with and demolish. As I have repeatedly said on the other thread, I am not a religious person. I am more along the lines of a neurotheologist. I can't help it if modern science is stagnated by authority. I can't help it that some people choose to go to authority for 'proof' rather than seeking it for themselves. |
