Pele is a goddess, not a god.

There ARE people who worship Thor and Pele (though these aren’t usually the same people).

WHAT THE FUCK?

Since when does "super natural" which means "beyond nature" have a fucking gender?

God/gods/goddesses are all the same human projection of anthropomorphic BULLSHIT.

I don't recall attaching a penis or vagina to mythology.

Since always. Read up.

We shape it more than cling to it, don't you think. The intelligent design thing is an example of that in real time. Confronted with the unsuitability of their beliefs, magic is replaced with genetic tinkering. Fire and Brimstone with Buddy Christ...then Hot Jesus.
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!

There is nothing absurd in thinking complex life can be designed.   It’s just we haven’t gotten around to mastering how to make the design work yet.

Well... another aspect is that the myriad cells within a body do NOT all work in perfect concert.

Hence why there are a multitude of other things within cells (And certain cells themsevles) that activly seek out such deviations so as to corral or other wise constrain the behaviour of the sells within the whole.

Cancer is a case in point of supposed 'Perfect cells' definitely not working towards the furthering of the whole.

Jus' sayin'.

Cheers.

Not at work.

I think just as morals came and started from a supreme being, design also comes from God. The human body is very defined and It takes a God to create a conscience, something that animals to not adhere to. We feel pain and know things and its impossible for these things to come through natural processes but its totally possible for us receive these things through spiritual natures. If everything randomly came into existence then things could of been different but there is repetition.

Define conscience. Apes are self aware..... All animals "know" things.... don't follow your thought here... and in terms of emotions, even my dogs are capable of feeling fear, joy, shame, excitement, love, concern - they feel anxiety when separated from their family, have their own personalities and ideosyncracies, pick up on people's emotions and can show empathy. - I fail to understand how anyone can discount these things as stepping stones from a primitive lifeform to a higher form of consciousness found in homo sapiens. To me this is simply common sense. 

By the way I strongly disagree with your "morals came and started from a supreme being" - this is full blown arrogance and shows your level of reprehensible judgement of others. The fact that almost identical morals have developed in virtually all human cultures - whether religious or not - proves that morality is something that is innately within us and simply a prerequisite for any sort of civilisation to evolve, and does not need to be not taught - certainly not exclusively by a higher being. I for one do not need a God to tell me that murder, dishonesty, cruelty, greed and any number of other amoral actions are wrong - sorry that you think you need an instruction manual for this.
