Mandelbrot Fractal and Watchmaker theory as proof for gods existence?
#4
RE: Mandelbrot Fractal and Watchmaker theory as proof for gods existence?
The watchmaker analogy / argument rests on the proposition that the presence of order necessarily implies design, and therefore a designer. The argument fails because we can observe order arising from natural processes, and so we cannot conclude that design is necessary for order.
