I'm merely pointing out that nothing, no matter how grand and incomprehensible it may be, would be any more or less designed than anything else.
Our intuitions about design and the characteristics by which we recognize it must be plain and simply wrong making all of our intuitions of design equally suspect, including your own premise....if your premise were true. As I said, rock out with your beliefs - but as an argument...that one is completely self defeating.
Islam teaches that this life is just a temporarily nothing:
Quote:The next life is fair; while this ain'tI sometimes wonder what the fuck is being taught to people like you to have you come before us as you are, and now I see.
A test ground is not supposed to be fair.
If I were testing a group of 5th graders on math, and I gave one of the kids a set of 10th grade problems and another a set of second grade problems..the results won't be indicative of anything about the children themselves. The kid who got the highest grade won;t have done so because he knows math, but because I gave him easy questions..and the kid who fails, likewise but in reverse.
So, sure, why not send the one to heaven and the other to hell and then exclaim that the next life will be "fair"....because words mean nothing and all that matters is to say something.
I am the Infantry. I am my country’s strength in war, her deterrent in peace. I am the heart of the fight… wherever, whenever. I carry America’s faith and honor against her enemies. I am the Queen of Battle. I am what my country expects me to be, the best trained Soldier in the world. In the race for victory, I am swift, determined, and courageous, armed with a fierce will to win. Never will I fail my country’s trust. Always I fight on…through the foe, to the objective, to triumph overall. If necessary, I will fight to my death. By my steadfast courage, I have won more than 200 years of freedom. I yield not to weakness, to hunger, to cowardice, to fatigue, to superior odds, For I am mentally tough, physically strong, and morally straight. I forsake not, my country, my mission, my comrades, my sacred duty. I am relentless. I am always there, now and forever. I AM THE INFANTRY! FOLLOW ME!
