It was a rhetorical question. If you are claiming that we must have been designed because we work so well, and you are assuming that we were designed by a god, wouldn't you say the god who designed us is more complex, more intricate, and works better?
If so, your god fits the same logical criteria you've given for why humans must be designed. Therefore, your god must've been designed, and his designer must be infinitely more complex, more intricate, smarter, etc, than him.
And so on.
your logic doesn't mean anything, just because it doesn't make sense to you and you do not understand the purpose doesn't make it not so. Just like me believing doesn't make it so. I have the humility to say..I don't know..but you say "well it's logic...because I can't figure out what created the creator then it has to be nothing"
If you say that God needs no designer, why is that? Whatever reason you give will certainly apply to us, too.
You think walking around on your two feet and talking to people puts you on par with some sort of ancient mystical power? That there is some sort of bill of rights built into the cosmos that says if god can do it humans can to? all your logic is, is arrogance.
In a few years, I'll probably be able to. Can I be arrogant then?
But let's follow your speculation: If we create a cyborg brain, over half of which is engineered by humans, and the other half perhaps genetically engineered, I think we can take a little credit for creating a better brain than God supposedly did. Even if we leave the biological part alone, we've still improved on the original "design".
when you make an organic computer with free will that is not the size of a warehouse, has it's own system of locomotion to get it where it needs to go, and power it from something as simple as food and water then take whatever credit you want. but you missed my point that our ability to improve our own designs is a built in perk...possibly part of our "purpose" I don't care what kind of upgrades we make it is a gift to be able to make them at all...
Because you were making a watchmaker argument.
Evolution has little to do with this -- I was merely pointing out that since you claimed we were designed on purpose, please explain why the designer gave us an appendix.
Another reply has actually provided me with an explanation of that, so you get a bonus question: Since design-ists love to point to the structure of the eye, why don't we have eyes in our fingers? It'd sure have been useful the last time I was trying to replace a hard drive in my server, and couldn't quite see where my fingers were...
I don't try to give what I don't understand a form, so it is certainly not a watchmaker, and I have never claimed that we were intended to be the form we are today and that's it. You want eyes on your fingers? go get some little cameras and tie them to your finger tips, as humans we CAN do that, don't let god hold you back. I'm sure though most people would be uncomfortable holding their arms in front of them to walk and talk to people. Not to mention with the crazy shit we do with our hands how easily we would have blinded ourselves if we actually had had eyes on our fingers....
I'm not making the claim that we are perfect only amazing...
your shits weak bro if you can't figure out why eye's aren't attached to peoples hands and fingers why are you trying to figure out if there is a god or not?
