Worst Arguments For Christianity

]The analogy holds. I say that despite vast differences of complexity both are signs that carry significance. Unless someone supplies a reason why the observed complexity brings forth novel properties, then to say the more complex example is different seems like special pleading.

Weak analogy equals weak conclusions. Obvious disanalogies weaken it and the fact you use only give a small number of shared properties weakens it. So I think you're really overstated your case here.

You haven't actually defended the theory of four causes. I doubt many people here take the four causes seriously since the four causes are just tautologies, purely linguistic, and not really insightful. Example, saying a ball is round because of it's form isn't really saying anything new or saying the the ball bounds because it's made of material that makes it bounce isn't neither. The four causes just restate the question as the answer. If we believe the four causes are trivial tautologies this isn't going to go anywhere. There would be no point in going on with the dialogue because the disagreement is at a deeper level. If there is no common ground we going to agree on nothing.
