@mdlittle5466 "Excellent inquiry unto which I am content to say that neither of us will know with certainty until we 'shuffle off our mortal coils"-I haven't said anything about knowing with certainty. I've simply asked you backed up your assertions. You said that science supports this "hypothesis", and instead of supporting that claim you now seem to be backtracking.

@mdlittle5466 "I have already presented what I use to employ, the video above."-Then we come back to my original question: How is any of this evidence of god? Simply pointing at something and calling it evidence is not enough. You must establish a link between the two. And so far both you and the video has failed to do so.

@quicksilver3757 Deism is more or less a philosophical choice based on the uncertainty of current evidence pointing towards the origins of the universe. As a borderline deist personally I can say that if god were to be substantially disproven tomorrow, my life wouldn't change in the least

@quicksilver3757 Yes, it already has been done and you already have been shown...but now you refute what you previously professed, as a Deist, to understand (...though I don't see how that could have been likely...). You do understand that I cannot do anything more for you, correct? Enjoy believing whatever it is you choose to believe in, as a Deist...if you elect to not believe, it is of no actual importance to me - it is your choice. Be well.

@mdlittle5466 "then request to be shown proof of faith."- No I haven't. You said that science, DNA, and the natural laws allude to a creator. I am asking HOW they do that. Im not asking you to show proof of faith, only that you back up your assertions regarding what you have said about science with some kind of support . Now can or can you not do that?

@quicksilver3757 You professed to have formally been a Deist...you would already know 'The Watchmaker' analogy which is, essentially, what the entire video establishes. Is it insufficient?...does it draw a direct line to a giant sign saying 'God's house this way!' No, but circumstancially...in accordance to all that which we have discovered, yes...it does allude to structure and a source of creation. This does not satisfy you, I'm sorry...enjoy believing whatever it is you choose to believe in.
