["The Hawiaan Islands are so complex that we can't build them, and therefore, that is evidence that they had to be built".]

Yes indeed, and they are evidence the Builder exceeds man to a great degree in many capacities.

I regret to be the one to have to inform you that the Hawaiian Islands are the result of natural processes, to wit the Pacific crustal plate moving via continental drift over a hot-spot in the Earth's mantle.

They weren't built.

I regret to be the one to have to inform you that the Hawaiian Islands are the result of natural processes . . .

You call them "natural processes." Do "natural" processes happen without the assistance of certain laws? Do natural selection and random mutation account for the presence of those laws? If so, how? If not, what?

I call them "designed processes" not only because I believe the complexities and results involved to exceed my own capacities as an intelligent being, but also because I believe God is present and active in the universe He created.

You mean that the claim that Pele designed the Sandwich Islands isn't true?

Pascal's wager would indicate that one is better off worshiping her than worshiping some wimpy desert rock.
