Can we gets some nuts and bolts info on how a god did what you describe as impossible?
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!

If it is intelligently designed then why is it so badly designed? Why do so many babies die because they have flawed DNA and get born deformed or without organs and they die quickly?
Why do so many people have flawed eyes and must wear glasses to see? Why are human back so weak for bipedal walking so they get pains in the back? Not to mention hemorrhoids for the same reasons. Why are testicles in humans outside and therefore uncomfortable and vulnerable? Not the evidence of intelligent designer.
Whales live in the water and breathe air. Not exactly intelligent is it.

Didn't answer my question

That is what theists seem to be doing all the time: making a big dance around actual questions. It is very easy to disprove intelligent design, so they just go around and around, talk about machines on the dark side of the Moon and whatnot, but it still makes no sense.
teachings of the Bible are so muddled and self-contradictory that it was possible for Christians to happily burn heretics alive for five long centuries. It was even possible for the most venerated patriarchs of the Church, like St. Augustine and St. Thomas Aquinas, to conclude that heretics should be tortured (Augustine) or killed outright (Aquinas). Martin Luther and John Calvin advocated the wholesale murder of heretics, apostates, Jews, and witches. - Sam Harris, "Letter To A Christian Nation"

This new chew toy does not appear to be much fun. It talks at you and not to you.
@ Otangelo Have you got anything that we haven't seen before? Something original you'd like to contribute. You masturbating for your own benefit is getting old.
Being told you're delusional does not necessarily mean you're mental.

At work.
While I understand it might be a bit overwhelming trying to keep abreast and reply to so many interlocutors....
What might Otangelo's thoughts be on Mister Craig's change of view/opinion in regards to Craig's now understanding/experiance with quantum uncertainty?
Since things such as Hawking radiation and nuclear decay objectively and demonstrably occur within reality.
This even without having the added complexity of temporality being involved.
Cheers.

First you seem to have jumped from "what caused the universe" to "intelligent design" as though they are the same!
Second we don't know what caused the big bang (although we have a pretty good idea up to a tiny fraction of a second afterwards) but "I don't know does not mean "A god did it" it just means we don't know (yet)
A few hundred years ago we did not know what caused sickness or lightning and blamed them on gods or demons, now we know better (well, most of us do!)
The meek shall inherit the Earth, the rest of us will fly to the stars.
Never underestimate the power of very stupid people in large groups

Otangelo, two questions.
1. You claim that everything that exists must have a beginning. Is that correct?
2. You claim that god exists. Is that correct?
