If God can exist without a creator, why not everything else?

    It’s one of the dumber arguments religious people make.

    You realize what is created by a creator by contrasting it with what you see in nature. You know a watch is created, because nothing like it exists in nature nor can it reproduce on its own.

    Humans on the other hand are just like any other of the billions of animals. We’re not special.

    And further to the point, imagine we were created and designed, what a shitty ass designer created us?? Short lifespan, useless at birth, susceptible to all kinds of diseases, weak unless in a group and our pleasure organs are mixed with our waste disposal organs.

    If that’s not the shittiest design I’ve ever seen, I don’t know what is.

      They think all of the billions of other animals were ‘intelligently’ designed as well. I remember Dawkins or someone had a whole rant on giraffes and the veins in their neck or something like that which makes no sense as an intentional design.

        It was the laryngeal nerve. It travels down the neck to the arteries of the heart and back up to the larynx. It’s ridiculous if you look at it from a design point of view, but makes perfect sense when viewed through the understanding of evolution.

      But, hey, they made sure they didn’t forget the built-in combat drugs so we’re all much better at being nice to each other and shit ^(/s)
