Intelligent Design: Did you design yourself?
RE: Intelligent Design: Did you design yourself?
I was wondering that myself.
At the age of five, Skagra decided emphatically that God did not exist.  This revelation tends to make most people in the universe who have it react in one of two ways - with relief or with despair.  Only Skagra responded to it by thinking, 'Wait a second.  That means there's a situation vacant.'

I'm guessing he didn't notice the "if" there.

It would be good if you told me what assumption.

"IF human life can be created and designed without the need for God, then there is no reason why one must or should accept God's existence as an intelligent creator/designer of human life."

in its entirety.

Yes, I'm commenting on something Heywood said. If he agrees with it could have been possible without God, then his view is not reasonable as it violates the principle of parsimony.

I did criticize your argument when I mentioned that all you have is humans building living organisms, based on all the "rules" of living organisms that humans had discovered before. But it seems your comprehension is a bit slow... huh?.. others have told you exactly the same, and yet, you keep parroting that no one is addressing your argument.

Humans are pretty close to creating machine life too. Such an achievement will not be based on the rules of living organisms. Also it is quite likely we will invent new rules of living organisms(actually we already have....watermarks).

This is nonsense.

Suppose God and Zod exist. Both can create human life. God creates human life. This would be reason enough to accept God's existence as an intelligent creator/designer of human life.

Zod's existence and actions(or in action) have nothing to do with Gods existence and action.

Listen dipshit, all god claims including yours are nothing but gap filling. Claims of invisible magical super heros do not simplify shit. Look up "infinite regress".

Now when you can get your god claim proven in a neutral lab and beat everyone to the patent office, then we can talk. But you are no different to us than Muslims or Jews or Hindus or Shintoists Mormons or Scientologists. Please don't stupidly think you are the first to argue science proves your god or are the only religion that tries to pull this bullshit tactic.

All you've done is circle back to the same flawed inference. I've already explained why this doesn't work. If all you can do is repeat yourself, then I'm done.
