The Case for Theism

[Esquilax]

Just assuming the universe is by design doesn't mean every aspect is completely totally controlled and that no random interaction occurs. When we build and design things, we build them to within a certain tolerance to produce a specific result. We don't create them to within exact tolerance.

And? That still doesn't change the fact that you would be surrounded on all sides at all possible times by things that are designed. You'd still have no point of contrast, no naturally occurring things with which to make your determination of design. You wouldn't be able to see the forest for the trees, in effect. Mostly because each individual tree would also be a forest.

I was being facetious when I wrote that.

The fact remains that if you really stretch yourself you could come up with alternatives.

I'll let any reasonable person decide if the universe is the result of plan and design or the result of mindless forces that didn't plan or intend the result. If you want to argue some other possibility then site your evidence and make your case.

I FUCKING DID!
