Let me take it one step further for those following at home.
Stu... right now is spinning. he wants to argue that there is an alternative between chance and design. But anything he will say is bullshit because if you take back to the big bang its either random chance or designed from the beginning... except multiverse. Making him realize he has been a a proven troll or idiot for pages and pages once again.
Nitro may have understood but he was rooting for Stu... the other lefties on this site can't believe it... once again their side has been smoked by real science.
So... now someone will come along and argue multiverse. (which I have already discussed)
I will say fine. Mulitiverse is not really a new answer because in a multiverse anything can and will happen. A multiverse is essentially omnipotent and omniscient.
Faith in a multiverse given today's scientific understanding is the same as faith in God.
Stu's... last play will be to cite hawking. But... hawking's quote as I have pointed out before is that within an inflationary scenario of mulitverses top down cosmology could say that gravity designed our particular universe. its faith in a multiverse..
You're rambling again.
The lack of resourcefulness of thought you apply to the issue by limiting everything to either blind faith that god did it, or random chance, or multiverse, in order to exclude the obvious, is pitiful.
Not faith but science, math, physics, knowledge of the physical universe, suggest the idea of multiverse.
Faith only, no science, no math, and dismissal of knowledge of the physical universe, allow illusions of a grand designer.
Science doesn't take side and it's simply the case there is no science that confirms, or is there a need for, what you are saying is random chance or is 'design'.
There is a great deal of science however that describes how life comes about by chemical evolution and natural forces. There is no reason to assume it will turn out to be any different for life's origin.
'Complete pathway' or not, doesn't change the fact chemical reaction is what's doing it, is what's science, and actually and naturally, the only thing making any rational sense.
That much is obvious for anyone thinking seriously about the subject.
In the 21st century especially, life by the design of some great imaginary Wizard King is nothing but bizarre and absurd.
Have your mystery maker by all means if it makes you feel better, but stop pretending it has anything sensible to do with science. It's makes an idiot out of you.
creator/ tuner/ designer..whatever
