DNA Proves Existence of a Designer

No, I said you define natural in that context. Go ahead and try since it is your only explanation for literally everything. tick tock

I find it deliciously ironic that so many faithful people fly into an "explain the entire cosmos to my dumb ass!" tiff like that could demonstrate anything other than the fact that they just don't know shit.

These are the folks who swear they know some shit, but, apparently, all they know is that they can't explain a godamned thing, lol?

Intensely spiritual experiences prove nothing. "God" is but one possible interpretation of them. A Taoist may have the same experience and interpret the same phenomena differently. Some Mahayana Buddhists interpret such experiences as Avalokitesvara (the being)... yet others say that Avalokitesvara is merely a state of being and that the only being involved is the one having the experience-- or (more precisely) being itself.

The point is, "God" is merely an extrapolation. I'm not saying that any given experience of yours wasn't a genuine revelation. It might have been. All I'm saying is that it's your revelation that relates to your subjective existence. You are brutalizing any genuineness in the experience by taking as a cue to change the beliefs of others.

Fine, they prove nothing to someone like you. They have proven God to me and bilions and billions of others beyond any and all doubt.

They proved absolutely nothing to you just as they proved nothing to us.

The difference is all about your childish wishes, untrained perceptions and greed for cheap satisfaction, and not at all about How they came to be and what that might mean.    It is you who chose to embrace whole hog what you, in your ignorance, believe they say because it is pleasant to you, and it is you who are too arrogant to concede that their being pleasing to you really mean absolutely nothing whatsoever to whether they are true.

I don't believe that higher intelligence created life. I believe higher intelligence created this planet (yes using chemicals that already existed) and our flesh, but all conscious life is eternal and we are just inhabiting these fleshly bodies.

Do you think all animals are similarly animated by an external factor that is eternal?  Or does the ethereal component only congeal to sapient critters?  If so I wonder if you think some particularly intelligent bonobos make the cut while some particularly dense humans miss out?

Of course, all conscious life down to the paramecium that does not even have a brain, yet is still somehow conscious.

Even if God exist in one form or another, why are you so obsessed with immortality?

So you are admitting that you can't because it is vague and it means nothing. Ha!

See, I'm not easily goaded by your assumptions, because I have a mind rooted in reality.

Because I am a happy person who loves life and happy people want to live forever. If you don't, you may be in a depression. I would recommend connecting with your soulmate and finding your happy place again.

What if God gives eternal life to those who wish it? And those who wish to die, get permanent death?
