If I fulfil my own prophecies, I just get a headache.
At the age of five, Skagra decided emphatically that God did not exist. This revelation tends to make most people in the universe who have it react in one of two ways - with relief or with despair. Only Skagra responded to it by thinking, 'Wait a second. That means there's a situation vacant.'

All I'm saying is that Satan could have made DNA into a mathematical code too
Satan (definitely)

This argument goes like this:
This thing over here appears, on the surface, to look something like this thing over here. Ipso facto they are exactly the same.
That's the problem with arguments from analogy. They are not conclusive. The fact that two things parallel each other with respect to a handful of attributes is no evidence that the parallelism extends to other attributes. Beyond that, we have good reason to believe that another process besides design can produce results that look like design. Namely, evolution. But there is an even deeper flaw in this argument from analogy. This is because the analogy to design draws a parallel between the human ability of design and the natural results of the process. The problem is that the human process of design might have a naturalistic origin in evolution as well. So the argument is presupposing that the human capacity for design does not have a naturalistic origin, otherwise the logical conclusion from the analogy would be that the capacity to design nature and DNA also has a naturalistic origin. It's a bit of misdirection referring to the processes as a result of design without examining the sources of the capacity of design. It is assuming that design isn't an artifact of natural processes, like the design itself supposedly isn't the result of natural processes. That's a circular assumption.

No, there isn’t.
It's amazing 'science' always seems to 'find' whatever it is funded for, and never the oppsite. Drich.

Is god real? Well, the real numbers contain both the rational numbers as well as transcendent numbers, so that sounds promising at first. They do not, however, include imaginary numbers, so God is probably not real.
The fool hath said in his heart, There is a God. They are corrupt, they have done abominable works, there is none that doeth good.

For small enough values of one, this is true.
I see some real beauty in mathematics, sometimes just from a trigonometric identity solution. This is one of my favorite pictures.
If you get to thinking you’re a person of some influence, try ordering somebody else’s dog around.
