The Earth offers many different conditions—cold, hot, dry, humid, high altitude, low altitude, crowded population, sparse population, different enimies, different foods, etc. so your argument, as is often the case with theist arguments, depends on a hypothetical situation.(October 29, 2015 at 10:53 am)TheRocketSurgeon Wrote: It's still Paley's idea of the Watchmaker. It does not follow that because intelligent beings make stuff out of nonliving materials which defies the natural order of things that it must also be true that life must have emerged by an intelligent process. It seems very clear that chemistry allows for the self-organization of self-replicating molecules, and that the current complexity of life is ordered by very simple rules of particle interaction that do not equally allow for watches to be made without human intervention.
what would account for different species of living things then ? why monkeys and humans and plants and worms and birds under this theory why wouldnt every living thing existing on the same earth under the same conditions be exactly the same and have the same properties ?
The god who allows children to be raped out of respect for the free will choice of the rapist, but punishes gay men for engaging in mutually consensual sex couldn't possibly be responsible for an intelligently designed universe.
