The Watchmaker: my fav argument

[Belacqua]

There is not some empty space and some not empty space.  More than 99% is empty space. Big difference. See response to hypothesis #1.

99% is some. 1% is some. 

Again, please explain to me why this argues against design. A designer who wanted this ratio would design it this way. 

Rest already addressed it under #2 & #3. We are now talking in circles.

Here are #2 and #3:

Hypothesis #2: Empty space with pitch black cold conditions itself is a design

Hypothesis #3: Universe is failure of design because

I agree that if the universe is designed, then #2 is true. You have not supported #3. 

Why are pitch black cold conditions in not-really-empty space a design failure? You haven't answered this yet.

Is Mao or hitler the same same in pop culture as Apollo, Jupiter, or Venus? Ok. 

They are all names with referents. Why would you choose a name with a particularly large number of referents and then tell us to ignore all of them? 

What does pop culture have to do with it? But it would be the same in pop culture too. If you called yourself Pickle Rick, people would say "oh, like the cartoon?" and you'd say "NO, no relation to the cartoon. Don't think about that." 

I guess we don’t agree on methods of picking anonymous nicks. No biggie. Now you know.

True. I think that if you use a word with a meaning, it will prompt people to think of the meaning. If you yourself don't know the meaning of the name you picked, you may be projecting something you don't intend.
