"A common sense interpretation of the facts suggests that a superintellect has monkeyed with physics...and that there are no blind forces worth speaking about in nature. The numbers one calculates from the facts seem to me so overwhelming as to put this conclusion almost beyond question."
- Fred Hoyle, Astrophysicist and Cosmologist, Cambridge
"There is for me powerful evidence that there is something going on behind it all...it seems as though somebody has fine-tuned nature's numbers to make the universe. The impression of design is overwhelming."
- Paul Davies, Physicist, Recipient of the Templeton Prize, the Kelvin Medal from the UK Institute of Physics, and the Michael Faraday Prize
"Wherever physicists look, they see examples of fine tuning."
- Sir Martin Rees, Astronomer Royal of Great Britain, Fellow of Trinity College, Emeritus Professor of Cosmology and Astrophysics, Cambridge
"The remarkable fact is that the values of these numbers seem to have been very finely adjusted to make possible the development of life."
- Stephen Hawking
So, you can mock Atlas and AAA if you like, but apparently, they are in good company when they promote the Intelligent Design theory.
In light of this, perhaps you should take a look at how ridiculously convoluted your own thinking is.
Lol, congratulations on your MASSIVE appeal to authority! So because there exist scientists out there who believe in God, therefor God? You're going to have to do better than that.
LOL.
You wrote: "Do you not understand how ridiculously convoluted your thinking is?"
Now, in light of those quotes from some VERY smart people who see evidence for ID, I think YOU are the one who is going to have to do better than merely asserting that accepting the theory is "convoluted" thinking.
Somewhere, a fat lady is warming up.
