The marvel of our universe is all the more miraculous though if the product of chance than than of an omnipotent being. The latter rendering all unimpressive. Still, I like to think there is something more, be it (a) superior being(s) or supernatural processes primarily out of grief for my own mortality ^^ won't know 'Tim I get there though and in the event that is the end, I hope it remains a ways off yet and choose to live each day to its fullest ^^ | |||

"DNA is like a computer program only far more advanced than any ever created by man" - Bill Gates DNA contains information and information can only come from an intelligent being. Therefor DNA can only have been created by a being with the intelligence to do so. Since whoever created DNA also created us, they are therefor God. | |||||||

Rationalizing faith only serves to undermine it. By definition faith is belief without proof. It is perfectly acceptable to know one thing and believe something contrary, but that is not always easily practiced.
You gave plenty of examples of man made things demonstrating creation necessitates an intelligent creator. How then do you explain things like erosion, wild fires and even spider webs? All three are created by unintelligent entities (wind, water, lightning, spiders). Your argument that the existence of 'things' necessitates a creator, because man creates things is not logical because the validity of the association is indeterminate. Man is not the creator of all things, we do. Of know the extent of all creators in the universe and as I've demonstrated above we have examples of creation by non-intelligent things, so the assertion is illogical. It's fine to attribute those processes to a larger design by an intelligent creator, but the latter can be neither proven nor disproven. | ||

I should add that I am not trying to undermine your faith either, just pointing out that your approach does that by placing you in the uncomfortable position of arguing against reason. Your response to naysayers ought to just be "yeah, I know, but I believe this" and if you want to fill in a 'because' with how it has benefitted your life, you'd be much more apt to succeed.

So your whole argument is basically "look how fucking complex DNA is, God must have done it"?

If god is an intelligent being, who created god? By your logic, surely god has to have a creator too, and that creators creator, and so forth which completely destroys the 1 god theory If hes not an intelligent being, and he just supposedly happened to be, well that goes against everything your preaching. Which is called nature Btw. Either way, You're Wrong. Theres no other options. | |||
