If you suggest that the high degree of complexity associated with life, necessitates a designer.
Then wouldn't a designer (who would clearly be even more highly ordered than his creation) need to have been created by an even more complex and ordered designer?
Who created the creator?
I think you're being dismissive, because you have no answer to the question, and don't wish to confront it honestly.
Pardon me if I made the wrong assumption about the premise of your question. But I think my original point stands--we can posit a "creator for the creator" and a "designer for the designer" back in an infinite chain of causation, but until you're willing to make that very first link between life and a designer, it's a moot point.
You are stuck in 4 dimensions. If indeed there is a creator, it would be safe to assume He exists outside of space and time. The Big bang indicates there was a "time" when there was no space and time.
It all comes down to "faith" in your uncaused cause, and my uncaused cause doesn't it. Of course in science there is no such thing is there? Funny that science bases the beginning on something that inherently makes this law moot.
And you being the "one who knows", know that there is no answer to that question. That's being confrontational.
Scientists have no interest in proving a designer. They flee from the very notion. But the very laws they unearth prove otherwise.
I would ask you: what caused matter to arise from nothing? How did something come from nothing-nothing, as in no forces, no matter, no energy, just nothing. I contest this, and the origin of life, needs something beyond observable science-indeed, we can never prove the exact origin of the universe. We can try, and accumulate evidence to support various theory's, but we can not prove it (or do you disagree?). Presumably, science should look for the best possible answer in such a scenrio, correct? Why then should science not at least allow for the existence of an Intelligent Creator beyond the natural sphere? There wer scientists in years past (still are some around) that did not believe in Darwin's Theory, and incredibly, they made important discoveries quite well.
is a category fallacy that is like asking how many inches your Christmas turkey weighs. God is not an event, or any other contingent thing, and since God (by definition) is not contingent, God must be either necessary or impossible.
Cordially,
