Are you trying to bastardize people ? Consider something mundane such as following a recipe, we know that human beings can perfectly fail at that by a simple, tiny mistake and screw the meal.

The whole evolutionary history is a very long "cooking" process that yielded human beings. You really need a good cook who put the right ingredients in the oven........

I provided my proof : 

all experience show that only personal agents produce things. It takes work to accomplish things. A fortiori, it took some agent's work to bring about this universe and all it contains

This is not deductive proof (it's not analytic), it's analogical

That's proof of exactly fuck-all. You're offering an opinion and claiming it's fact. Too bad a mental midget like yourself can't get the essential difference.

Are you retarded, bro ?
First off I'm not your "Bro" Second I wasn't talking like I know you so the fuck are you on about. Third the only one around here who fits the description of the R-word or whose comments come close to making them look like the R-word is you. So kindly go fuck yourself.

Pointing to man-made structures and then trying to impose that onto life the universe and everything....Instant false comparison

Nobody cares what "reason" (read, excuse) you want to use. Read the rules and you'll understand. Continue posting in willful ignorance of those rules and the staff will still ban you for breaking them.

Indeed comparing flipping food items and cooking to the formation of the universe.... Instant fail.

That's the same comparison that Hume spent a lifetime pondering, and ended up acknolwedging it resolves into amoral theism. 

I guess you should take some time to use what's inside your skull (if any), before jumping on the keyboard.
