(2) What amazing things? The vast majority don't even interact with you. Of the rest, the majority try to kill you in some pretty horrifying ways. Kindly clarify.
1. That does not explain how they came to be without an intelligent agent. You are claiming this was a lucky accident caused by nothing. And you expect ppl to believe that?
2. What amazing things??? Are you kidding??This entire planet with food and other pleasures and all conscious intelligent life with an enormous amount of abilities that I guess you just take for granted, but that could not have just magically happened from nothing for no reason no matter how many times you pretend it all could. Use your brain.
(1) You are misrepresenting what I stated. No "lucky accident" is involved. Even f t were it would e more believable than an infinitely complex god with a hide-and-seek fetish.
(2) I am using my brain thank you very much. Kindly observe: "This entire planet" is:
- A nickel-iron core that you will never interact with chemically.
- A silicate mantle and crust that you will only ever interact with in the most trivial manner, largely toxic ones.
- Entire oceans to saline to drink.
- An atmosphere composed of element that are either inert or toxic. Yes, oxygen is toxic and your body spends a vast amount of energy and resources to keep the wretched stuff from killing you. Still sound like intelligent design?
Now that we've discarded 99.999% of the planet, we can examine the vanishingly small fraction that you call amazing. Most of which will try to eat, poison, infect, or parasitize you. We don't yet have a good understanding of abiogenesis, but replacing the honest "We don't know yet" with "Goddunnit" is dishonest and shorthand for "stop asking questions"! The rest can be explained by a variety of well-understood natural laws and the principles of self-organization and emergent behaviours.
