The Watchmaker: my fav argument

[The Architect Of Fate]

Very well, we may disagree on some details but I'd like to address another argument that you made earlier:


And you know that because? Your argument mirrors that of the behaviorists which claimed cognition was an unobservable black box—that's no longer true. From atoms to the neuron doctrine, science is full of once unobservable entities that had to be inferred. Your inability to think of an observation has no bearing on the question.

But what we CAN observe about the universe doesn’t logically lead to an inference of design. Observation leads to the inference that the universe wasn’t designed, but evolved. The only way to claim the universe is designed is to admit ignorance, which is what creationists always do.

‘If the universe was deliberately designed, why do species go extinct? Shouldn’t a perfect Creator have designed them to be able to cope with issues like habitat loss or changes in climate?’

‘That’s God’s plan.’

‘Seems kind of slipshod, doesn’t it?’

‘Well, God’s ways are mysterious. We can possibly know why he does things the way he does.’

Yup it's pure laziness
