No, Jen, I don't believe that at all. Let me grace you with another fact. It is a fact that pitching straw is an idiotic way to object to someones statements. Let me ask you this plainly. Do you understand what we're all referring to...when we say that you're pitching straw?
I am the Infantry. I am my country’s strength in war, her deterrent in peace. I am the heart of the fight… wherever, whenever. I carry America’s faith and honor against her enemies. I am the Queen of Battle. I am what my country expects me to be, the best trained Soldier in the world. In the race for victory, I am swift, determined, and courageous, armed with a fierce will to win. Never will I fail my country’s trust. Always I fight on…through the foe, to the objective, to triumph overall. If necessary, I will fight to my death. By my steadfast courage, I have won more than 200 years of freedom. I yield not to weakness, to hunger, to cowardice, to fatigue, to superior odds, For I am mentally tough, physically strong, and morally straight. I forsake not, my country, my mission, my comrades, my sacred duty. I am relentless. I am always there, now and forever. I AM THE INFANTRY! FOLLOW ME!

I don't assume that the laws of nature are or aren't intelligently designed. I say it's impossible for us to tell as we have no frame of reference. All attempts to decide that they are or aren't by staring at the contents fall foul of the fallacy of composition.
Quote:The fallacy of composition arises when one infers that something is true of the whole from the fact that it is true of some part of the whole (or even of every proper part). For example: "This fragment of metal cannot be fractured with a hammer, therefore the machine of which it is a part cannot be fractured with a hammer." This is clearly fallacious, because many machines can be broken apart, without any of those parts being able to be fractured. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fallacy_of_composition Feel free to send me a private message.

What makes you think I believe that? Clearly you not only don't know what you're talking about, you don't know what I'm talking about either. Of course intelligent beings design complex objects. My disagreement with you has nothing to do with that. I'm not going to repeat myself to you, especially when all you're intent on doing is stuffing words into the mouths of others. Go educate yourself about the topics under discussion and then we can talk. Until then, I have no interest in you deliberately misrepresenting my views.

While you're trying to get up to speed, I'd suggest you read up on chaos theory, too. You're clearly ignorant of it.

The Big Bang was an expansion of spacetime itself. Particles didn't exist for a long time after the initial hyperexpansion.

All of your comparisons to code...out the window, right there. Understand that, acknowledge that. ok lets start over so i can be clear about what your hypothesis your hypothesis : an intelligent being did not set up the laws of physics and did not set up the laws governming chemistry such laws created themselves is that correct ? if not edit

Quote:ok lets start over so i can be clear about what your hypothesisMy position is simple, neither chemistry nor physics requires a god as explanation..nor is there any evidence that a god had a hand in either. That the things which you refer to, as evidence or reason for a creator god...are, more accurately, evidence/reason for Modern Synthesis, for example. This isn't the first time I've said this.....it won't be the last. Now, do you have anything to say, to me...about -my- position?

I'm sensing another argument from incredulity in your future. Surely you don't think that the same fairies that paint dew on the petals are hauling the leaves around with chains? its designed in their DNA to do that the plants dont decide to follow the sun .
