Quote:However, a designer is not the only explanation, multiple universes can be an explanation.As can, "there is no fucking design"......
Quote:But then I have questions....like why would it vary from universe to universe?You have questions about other universes but not the status of this one..that's just glossed over.....
Quote:Also, if we come across so many life in the future in the universe, sentient life forms, while we know it is very much against the odds....wouldn't it seem like a designer wanted there to be sentient life.More glossing. The "designer" wants nothing, there is no design.
Quote:I am not making an argument either way. I'm just saying dismissing "evidence" of design simply because it can be chance doesn't seem logical to me.You should, rather than blathering on about designs and designers before even attempting to do so.
Quote:I say evidence not in the sense it's conclusive, but that strongly favors the notion.So no evidence you'd be willing to present, make an argument for..etc etc etc. Garbage Mystic, absolute garbage.
