Only as much as a reality transfixed and embedded with meaning is in no need of that which makes it so. Or a novel has no need of an author.
Every time I think I've seen it all, someone always comes along and tries to re dress the same bad logic with different wordage, "Or a novel has no need for an author".
Um no, a novel only needs evolution that lead our species to come up with human language. But evolution itself was not a factory product, like Willy Wonka making chocolate. Our species is only an estimated 200,000 years old, to which human written language has only been around 10,000 years, out of a 4 billion year old planet, which has had 5 mass extinction events in a 13.8 billion year old universe.
Ok, you want to go with the "novel" metaphor"?
Lots of good Novels, sure, but lots of crappy dime store novels too.
This is just another way of saying "everything has a creator, my creator".
Stephen King wrote lots of graphic horror si fi novels. But I certainly hope you don't take those as reality.
Neither Creationism or ID as it is now called, explain anything.
If everything has a creator, then horrible things like ecoli and cancer and cockroaches also were created. So by your logic, Stephen King is God.
