I don’t think you understand the problems with the words you’ve written. You are equivocating definitions of the word “design”:
Quote:de·sign
[*]1.
a plan or drawing produced to show the look and function or workings of a building, garment, or other object before it is built or made.
"he has just unveiled his design for the new museum"
synonyms:
plan, blueprint, drawing, scale drawing, sketch, outline, map, plot, diagram, delineation, draft, depiction, representation, artist's impression, scheme, model, prototype, proposal
"an architect submitted a design for the offices"
- 2.
an arrangement of lines or shapes created to form a pattern or decoration.
"pottery with a lovely blue and white design"
synonyms:
pattern, motif, device; More
[/list]
- When asked what evidence you have that the world is designed, you use definition 1., pointing to things like chairs, cars and other man-made things. Then, when it’s pointed out to you that there are things in the world that appear man-designed (definition .1), but actually form naturally, you try to slip into definition .2 and blue the lines between definitions, not because there is a good reason to do so, but because it rescues your argument. It’s a fallacy. You need to go back to the drawing board and come up with an argument that isn’t fallacious.

Quote:Your question is ill-formed. "The entire universe and all of its physical laws" [i]seems a lot of work only to us, I'll make it clearer : there is no logical problem with a god bringing a slice of pizza into existence through billions of years of extremely complicated quantum operations. "billions of years" and "extremely complicated" are an additional unnecssary cost only for creatures, not for a deity with infinite resources. Wasting time and resources is undefined for any entity with infinite attributes.[/i]
And yet, he couldn’t have brought that pizza, or people, for that matter, into the world unless every single thing that came before it was just so, right? So, god is at the mercy of the physical laws of nature?
Too be fair though nothing is really a problem when you can make stuff up to solve the problem now matter how baseless or convoluted

When you can give your characters magic powers divorced from reality everything makes sense
