Does complexity actually imply the lack of a creator?
#10
RE: Does complexity actually imply the lack of a creator?
Complexity is not a sign of design. We detect design when contrasted to things that occur naturally.

Any engineer will tell you that it is better to design things with the minimum amount of complexity able to get the job done.

It is obvious that we are kluged together with unnecessary remnants of our evolutionary past.

You'd believe if you just opened your heart" is a terrible argument for religion. It's basically saying, "If you bias yourself enough, you can convince yourself that this is true." If religion were true, people wouldn't need faith to believe it -- it would be supported by good evidence.
