Quote from jem:
Which leaves rational people with the understanding that based on our current knowledge the universe is "too designed" to be random. To comprehend my statement you must research this lambda concept and realize how much faith it takes to argue that our universe is random.
the argument of complexity is an argument from ignorance. the theist is saying i dont understand how that happened so it had to be god. many things were at one time thought to be too complex to understand. germs,atoms genes were all at one time too complex to understand.
one thing is for sure. there has never been a scientific finding that pointed to a god in the process.
a little study on the subject of id might be in order. start here:
