When theists say that things which are designed requires a designer, and that life looks designed...they're kind of full of crap.

When atheists and scientists try to address the "designed things need a designer" question, they always seem to cede the case to the theists that these things even LOOK designed; I don't think they do AT ALL.

Theists look at the products of human "design" and see them as complex, mechanistic and orderly. Then they (fallaciously) conclude that natural things which appear complex and orderly must also be intelligently designed. Thus they imbue forces in universe at large with a great many human attributes culminating into a superhuman---God. It's a most egotistical and arrogant characterization of the universe.

@socksumi Yup.

at least 80% of what starts after a cut is whipping your head to the right before you talk... not just in this video. Just saying.

@Blueace12345 I'm aware.

Like this vid. I have sent you a PM on Philip Pullman's 'Mulefa.' Fictional animals who adapted to use seed pods as wheels. From his amazing children's story "His Dark Materials" Best trilogy I ever read to my boys when young.

[BionicDance]

@CorporalNym Read those already, myself. :)

Shame the movie sucked so hard.

[AirForceGirl05]

you are so cool.

[InvalidMemberAccount]

@BionicDance you must be designed.

@SDSk8eR777 Your first question is answered by the evolution of nucleotides to DNA to single celled micro-organisms. It is not like soup at all. Water is part of the mixture, but it's more complicated than that. But you need certain conditions that we can't recreate at the moment. And matter is one of those enigmas, that I, mself, don't have an answer to, but that doesn't mean there isn't one.

@Herufaia Least you didn't fall for the stork bullshit.

[Herufaia]

You mean little fairies with tweezers don't make babies out of kits in the uterus!?

THEY LIED TO ME.

[SDSk8eR777]

How can life come from non-life? Is it like soup, just add water? Water and energy? Energy is good, right? It isn't entirely destructive. I mean I do get some pretty gnarly sunburns if I'm at the beach too long. However, it's plausible that with the right combination of water, chemicals and energy, that dead, inanimate matter can turn into something living. Right? Oh and by the way.. Where did matter come from in the first place? Is it eternal?

[seonidh]

if god is a complex being/entity if it exists then who designed him? They cant state all things were designed without also stating where did the designer come from. Perhaps man designed god
