DNA Proves Existence of a Designer

[Everena]

Logical fallacy. Strawman argument. The question is not how but why. The options are that either you think we just got lucky to have a planet full of delicious, nutritious, energy providing food for 8.7 million different species of life as well as being lucky by having healing herbs and plants to derive medicines from OR you think it's clear that higher intelligence was involved. There are no other options.

A strawman argument is one in which your argument is misrepresented in order to make it easier to defeat.

Everena: A Strawman argument is when you avoid the question that was asked and deflect by answering a different question. That is exactly what you did and you are now doing it again.

I was responding to your question, not an argument. The strawman fallacy does not apply. The 'how' is the 'why'.
Everena: Nope, the question is why, and the how is NOT the why. Fail.

Life will explore every available niche that it is able to because that is the nature of the evolutionary process.
Everena: Life that came about how? Niches that came about how?

We evolved to be able to eat the food that is available because we would have gone extinct if we hadn't.
Everena: We could not have evolved to eat the food; the food had to be there the entire time or we would have died.

It would be bizarre if out of all the plants in the world, none of them had medicinal properties.

Everena: What would be bizarre is if medicinal plants just magically appeared on the planet with us, without a designer.

If there were only medicinal non-food plants or only poisonous non-food plants, that might be an indication of a designer. A mix is what would be expected if there is no one directing the evolutionary process, that it wasn't all designed for our betterment or detriment.

Everena: We are not the only life on this planet eating food. Many of the plants are for the other species of life here. And nothing would be expected to be here if no one were directing the evolutionary process.

Nothing had to create God or our true selves. We have always been, alive and well in a far better place.

Then there is no first cause.  It would be super helpful if you ever knew wtf you were talking about....about anything.

There is a first cause of this universe and this planet and everything in it.
