DNA Proves Existence of a Designer

[robvalue]

One thing I realized about the "design" argument is that it seems to require hard determinism, in a very strange way.

Let's say Mr. God wanted to have humans, for some reason. He could have just made them instantly, but if you have even a vague interest in reality, you know that didn't happen. Instead he hatched an extremely long winded plan for us to end up here. He set in motion some ridiculously long chain of events so that we would evolve. That's stupid for so many reasons, but I'll leave that aside for now.

If there was any kind of randomness or agency possible in our (sub)reality, then there would be no guarantee that humans would actually have evolved like we did. In fact, it would seem extremely unlikely, since the tiniest change could throw the whole plan off at almost any stage. So if humans were the goal, then there must have been hard determinism at work, it would seem. Otherwise there was every chance that the "plan" would fail.

Of course, any numb-nuts definition of "God" that includes it knowing the future also implies hard determinism. You can't predict the unpredictable. Knowing the future means there only is one possible future.
