Stupid Design

Seeing as He knows everything, He therefore must know I'm here typing this.

God, if you're out there, wherever you might happen to be, I ask you, please make yourself known. None of this "working in mysterious ways rubbish", I'm not asking for a sign that might be passed off as coincidence or something, I'm humbly asking for something definitive. Spell out JEHOVAH or YHWH or SATAN IZ TEH GHEY LOLZ in the clouds tomorrow or something obviously deliberate like that. Something I can't miss.

None of you know anything. Not one single person here knows what their talking about - including me. All of the tripe you've typed here is, at best, poorly informed opinion peppered with equally poorly spelled insults.

Here's the thing - saying your right doesn't make you right. Yelling doesn't add weight to your arguements. Demeaning someone because they have a different opinion isn't going to change the fact that you don't know what you're talking about.

Face it - nobody knows. Nobody. You could devote your entire life to the study of the the subject and you would still be left with just a guess.

This arguement is more about ego than fact.

I will say, though, that for me there's just something about the deep, rich, red of ketchup makes me crave it. Yellow is a sissy colour.

So, it's delusional to say that life arises from an invisible creator who decided one day to fashion everything in existence, which still exists and has not changed since creation,

and yet

it's delusional to say that life arose from organic chemicals and continues through a process of natural laws that are so simple as to be blatantly obvious to anyone with half a brain and the ability to make shadowy guesses as to what happens when you get a group of organisms, some of whom are able to survive better than the others.

A theory is the result of observation and testing hypotheses and can only make predictions about the outcome of future experiments; therefore theories cannot be proven, only tested.

You can't prove the theory of gravity is correct when it says that my pen will fall to the desk when I drop it. The theory only predicts that it will fall, but the theory cannot guarantee it will fall until you drop it. Proof is where you know the answer before you try the experiment. 2+2=4, that's proven, but for all our knowledge there may be extended circumstances which would hold the pen aloft.

It comes down to him saying that the idea of intelligent design is greatly flawed by pointing out that the universe was not purposefully made for us by The Designer, as evidenced by how simply massive it is. There's an awful lot of stuff out there that simply has no bearing on our lives. From our perspective, it's pointless, so why create it for us?

Then he moves on to the planet itself seemingly not wanting us here. Surely a designer would have not included catastrophes in his plan? Or, at least would have provided us with a better way of surviving them?

Then there's all the stupid poo that goes wrong with our bodies. Why would a designer give us the capacity to develop cancer? Or Alzheimer's? 2 diseases our bodies are powerless against.

I'm not against atheism but if this is the best you guys can do then you should inform yourself a lot more.

A lot of what that guy talk about are just theories that have never been proved and present them like if if was some sort of joke or something.

Sure, it'd be great to not worry about choking to death, and that's why one mouth for drinking, eating, and breathing is a stupid idea. But there was no thought process involved in giving us one mouth.

Evolution is a gradual process that is described by evolutionary theory, and that particular theory boils down to law that states two possibilities: that if you take a group of organisms and put them under pressure to survive, either the strongest will survive and pass on their strengths, making survival easier for the next generation, while the weaker ones will die off, OR, nothing survives, resulting in extinction.
