Atheos Look at the Trees

The universe was designed by the ultimate supernatural agent.

Select an ideal response for:

1. The world is designed. 2. Design implies a designer. 3. Therefore, the world is designed by God.

The world isn't designed; It's an inexplicable series of random events.

What evidence is there for the claim that the world was designed?

Is the world really designed?

How can you be sure your God is the only possibility? Why couldn't advanced aliens from another dimension create this instantiation of the universe?

Your first premise is totally unjustified & so your opinion is meaningless.

Look how well this banana fits in my hand & how easy it is to peel! That proves that God designed it for me to eat!

Does that make coconuts & pineapples the creations of Satan?

Does the fact that a human skull makes a good breakfast cereal bowl indicate that God meant them to be used as such?

Isn't that just cherry-picking a helpful example? What about delicious-looking yet poisonous berries?

Sorry. I'm not sure I follow. Could you help me understand where your God comes into play here?

For those of us who love pistachios, you'd think God would've given us stronger fingernails.

Mindless nothingness simply can’t cause complexity.

Do you think the nothingness was more complex than we realized prior to its transformation?

Perhaps there's never been a state of 'nothingness' & the universe always existed. Isn't proceeding honestly accepting that we don't have enough information?

The complexity of nothing is perhaps the greatest source of something that nothing has yet explained.

What about mini tornados? Did a God have his finger on a button creating those? Why not just accept complexity as a puzzle to be solved?

My religion was not invented by man.

What's the alternative? That it was delivered by angels from a place no one can demonstrate actually exists?

You say that, but why should anyone believe you?

What about all the other theistic religions besides yours? Were those invented by humans?

So, you're saying it was invented by a woman?

What would you say is the most compelling reason you have for believing in that claim?

Select an ideal response for:

Only God could have created the universe.

Can you explain what you mean by 'created' in this context?

Why would you make an absolute claim like that for which you have no evidence whatsoever?

Which God?

And only man could have created God.

How do you know that? Why is it not possible that there are other possibilities?

Select an ideal response for:

Our world is too beautiful to be an accident.

What about the horrors of this world? Cancer, starving children, war, disease, etc.

What about snowflakes? Aren't those both beautiful & each a unique accident?

The fact that it is beautiful overlooks the fact that it is ugly in many ways too, right?

It isn't an accident. It's a holographic projection by beings on a higher level of reality.

The complexity of our planet points to a deliberate designer who not only created our universe but sustains it today.

Why assume that everything complex must be deliberately designed? What about sand dunes?

Saying a divine designer is the only possible explanation just demonstrates your own failure of imagination. Doesn't it?

What is the relationship between complexity & design? And why does that have to be sustainable? What about twisters?

Ours may be complex, but other planets seem simple & crude. Aren't you just cherry-picking the one example that fits your beliefs?

Select an ideal response for:

There is more evidence that points to an intelligent designer than a random, accidental universe.

Are you sure you understand the concept of randomness in this context?

There is no evidence that would be accepted within the realm of science.

You're clearly confused about what constitutes evidence.

Let's start by considering the very best piece of evidence. What would that be?

There is? Please share.
