Maybe I don't understand the flow of this argument but it seems nonsensical.

The universe displays sexual desires towards children; therefore, the universe is paedophilic. A paedophilic universe is what we call [insert arbitrary noun].

Attributing characteristics of a component to the entire machine is fallacious (I think).


But hey, if your argument did follow soundly, I'd agree with it. Heck, why not? If that's all God is, we can say with certainty that all the religions are wrong and their claims are untrue.
