Read my link that you avoided responding to.



That link contained no evidence. It had a bunch of opinions and straw men. No one said god had to perform 'miracles' that defy the laws of physics to exist. The argument posed int he OP was that the fact that the laws of physics DO exist in the exact way needed to create the universe is evidence of a design. All of that link talks about christian/biblical straw men or specific details about the christian interpretation of a higher power. And the last argument is maybe the most ridiculous of all:

quote:

10. God’s Existence Cannot Be Rescued By Claiming That The Emergence of Life On Earth Demonstrates An Underlying Intelligent Design. The claim that some biological organisms are irreducibly complex fails to account for the redundant gene, a duplication of an existing gene that can experiment with a new function while the old otherwise identical one continues to do its standard work. The claim that the existence of specifiably complex organisms demonstrates the need for an intelligent designer fails because these can be accounted for by the mutations of natural selection.


To sum up, because there are things we as humans don't understand yet, well, that means they are pointless. If all of science had had that attitude, we'd never have gotten past the bronze age.

Because there are things we as humans don't understand yet, well, that means god did it.


Neither of these are a good view of the natural world.
