There's considerable and reliable objective evidence it is random. There's no evidence of a creator or designer, except in things made by Man or animals.
except when I read this. Fine Tuned = Purpose. Purpose = intelligent design. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fine-tuned_Universe
Well I would assume that you knew I was being sarcastic. I was poking fun about it too. But okay, I will make em green next time. Sheesh!
Yup -- that's the argument you have been echoing, and it is not free of criticisms. You may find it persuasive (many do), but it is hardly rock solid.
It will be a waste of your time. I'm seeking enlightenment, not boredom. I've read the bibles, new and old, and walked away convinced they are pure fiction. Poorly written fiction at that.
How is that not based on faith or belief? There's no evidence, it's never been anything more than a theory, yet it somehow doesn't take any faith or belief to believe it happened, whereas God is an irrational leap of faith. OK. I'm not disputing whether or not the big bang happened, I just love how we have all these conclusive "facts" about something no one was ever around to see or will see in any way. And again with that god of the gaps garbage, apparently think the atheistic worldview is the only way to explain something. You put your faith in the limited knowledge of mankind and assume it's truth, but of course you will never admit to it. Whose opinion do you hold on the level of that of God's?
That's what I'm after. Please post (with links) powerful arguments that god exists based on the observations seen on earth and in the universe.
