Simplicity breeds Complexity: Why Deism Fails

I think we can all agree.. we have abundant evidence that this is true (Simplicity breeds Complexity).

Simple elements =

hydrogen-cyanide

hydrogen-cyanide + hydrogen =

nucleotides =

polynecleotides + evolution =

RNA + (amino acids = polypeptides =) proteins =

DNA

DNA + lipid shells = cells

EVOLUTION

multicellular organisms.. more complex and more complex and more complex..

brains.. imposable thumbs.. eyes.. organs..

=

art.. culture.. philosophy.. religion :(.. science ..

REWIND

Hydrogen and Helium..

intense energy.. =

tons of new complex elements

This world is founded on the principle that simple things become complex. THERE IS NO COMPLEXITY IN THE WORLD THAT DID NOT GET THERE FROM SIMPLICITY. The only argument that can be made against that is that which science is only now embarking.. things like.. "before the Big Bang".

Woah.. what about GAWDS?

To be a god, in my book, you have to create the universe and you cannot be created yourself.

I propose one attribute further.

Why call a simplicity a god? "God" has very unique connotations and I'm afraid many deists elude to those connotations when all they believe in is a simple force behind the curtains.

If you believe in a god.. theistic or deistic.. do you believe it, him, or her to be complex? How do you explain that?


I've never used this argument to this extent.. so I'm sure I'll be able to learn from posters on this thread and refine my argument or ditch it.


Powerful.. magical.. e-e-e-eevil..
