Intelligent Design: Irreducible Complexity?

[Clueless Morgan]

I don't know, Esq took a pretty good stab at it:

I think the point that he (and Sam Harris) is making is that "mysterious ways" should not prevent an atheist from judging a god's actions. I think it's the difference between "I don't know why god did that" and the follow-up "but I trust he had a good reason."

That's why I say he took a good stab at it. I agree that Esq's post doesn't exactly get at what OfficerVajardian is asking for, but it gets at the spirit of what's often hidden behind an appeal to God's mysterious ways: his questionable choices.


In essence, the "God works in mysterious ways" is just an argument from ignorance, and thus can be refuted in the same manner any argument from ignorance can be.
