Quote by: RickSp The only folks who I have ever heard claim that the universe resultes from "random chance" are creationists looking for an easy straw man to knock down. The sun doesn't move through the sky by random chance. Neither does it require the intervention of a god to guide it across the sky. Both claims seem equally ridiculous.
The sun and indeed the universe as a whole function by natural processes. If you want to find the divine in the natural, that is your business. Just please don't waste our time with the "random chance" silliness. |
If you think I am wasting your time then why are you wasting your time responding? I think you have no evidence to support a nontheist view of origins and you are resorting to dismissive language to hide behind.
It is interesting that you find the chance view of origins as being a straw man. Straw man: a fake scenerio set up to prove a point, because it is easy to refute.
So if the universe did not come to be by chance, random or otherwise (as if!), then one must conclude it came to be by design. Unless there is a third alternative???
BTW Random Chance seems to be the best wording of a nontheist view of origns. I came upwith this term after a semantic battle with atheists and scientists on another forum while discussing origins. Can you suggest a better term?
