you ask me to explain how things like DNA could exist without a bronze age myth to explain them. I ask you to explain the origins of a complexity like your myth a d you say your myth needs no source and fault me for not answering your question.
Really? If the rules of logic form the basis for your assertion that complexity needs a designer, you need to explain the origins of your creator and bronze age crap like myths and Aristotle won’t do. intellectual rigor requires consistency. Who designed your designer?
the naturalist believes that beneath every natural phenomenon there exists yet another natural phenomenon. If explanation by reference to an endless stack of large turtles is silly, then an explanation by reference to an endless stack of natural phenomena would be equally so. The naturalist's answer for the origin of life, therefore, is some natural phenomenon. (Which one is not particularly relevant.) When you ask them how that natural phenomenon came to be, their response boils down to: "It's natural phenomena all the way down!"And beyond the design in DNA, we have a fine-tuned universe, a rare Earth, human consciousness, etc Yet you believe your brain ultimately comes from mindlessness.

If you do not assume the law of non-contradiction, you have nothing to argue about. If you do not assume the principles of sound reason, you have nothing to argue with. If you do not assume libertarian free will, you have no one to argue against. If you do not assume morality to be an objective commodity, you have no reason to argue in the first place. If you do not assume mind is primary, there is no you to make any argument at all.
