@Grasshopper No, when a deist or theist starts with the "goddidit" attitude, they are being biased and pretending to know something they don't actually know. And when one claims to know something already, how can they go on to actually know that thing? I am not saying theists or deists are ignorant or not trying to learn anything, I am saying that presupposing the end result is wrong.

As for the artist analogy, every major religion I know of attributes and credits our existence to one or more deities or supernatural entities, whereas the actual artist might be nature itself. Crediting someone or something like this without knowing the complete truth is disrespectful and silly.
