Reasons for God

False dichotomy; I said no such thing, neither does the theory of evolution.Neither are those two options the only two. EG mainstream Christianity accepts evolution,but insists on a divine first cause.It's only the lunar religious right which remains in a state of denial about evolution. (Most,like you show no signs of actually having read Darwin)

I didn't say you said it either, wow! Why are you bringing up evolution? I was just commenting on the universe - which seems to have all the natural laws and the circumstances to produce humans. Reading Darwin would only give me an antiquated and simplistic view of something that has been revised extensively and expanded upon immensely over many, many years.

Are you going to share the other options for our origin? When I said unpurposed/random or purposed, what would you say instead? So far you've just made a bald assertion, without providing any reason for me to believe you. List the other options or drop the fallacy claim (after all, dichotomies are not fallacious in and of themselves).

By the way, saying something about evolution without considering the origin of the principles that guide it (chemistry, physics, etc) is incomplete. Evolution is said to be guided by natural selection, but evolution does not explain where humans came from... There is far more going into the creation/accident of humans than evolution - get it?

Quote:
Quote:I would think that our existence is most probably designed. An accident is too improbable to expect.

"Argument from incredulity" one of the most common logical fallacies used by apologists.

Naturally, it was a tongue in cheek re-adaptation of the extraordinarily common and popular atheistic claim that God is too improbable to be concerned with...
