You completely miss the point as you attempt to prove how smart you are :p
I was only trying to show how poor the teleological argument is.
The point is that no one looks at a watch and doesn't realize it was created by someone. It didn't pop out of nowhere. The hypotheses merely points that out and connects it to God, IE the idea that this universe has a creater.
Looks like you missed my point. The watchmaker argument is terrible analogy. Do you look at a tree and wonder where the tree-maker is? A tree or the universe is not an artefact like a watch. A watch is a mechanism, a product of artificial character, one that is made by human hands, by A WATCHMAKER! Objects in the natural world emerge through a natural process, unlike artefacts. Because of the nature of a watch and our experience we know that a watchmaker probably made the watch. There is nothing in the nature of the universe or from our experience that tells us the universe needs a universe-maker.
Your beliefs are just as firmly rooted in faith as mine. It's high time that the intellectual evolutionists realize this. Are you a believer in the Big Bang theory, or any similar thoughts?
To say beliefs are simply faith positions leads to a form of relativism where there are no grounds for establishing the truth or falsity of any of our beliefs. Atheist beliefs are not a faith position because the beliefs do not go beyond what there is evidence for.
If both our beliefs require faith, mine certainly requires far less faith than yours does. My position is based on all available evidence along with argument to the best explanation. The atheist explanation is simpler, more coherent and more comprehensive than the theistic alternative. It is simpler because it doesn't require an unobserved supernatural world and a supernatural god. It is more coherent because everything fits into one scheme. Meanwhile you have to explain how this world interacts with the supernatural world god resides in. Atheism explains why there are so many religions (all of which contradict in various ways): because religion is a human construct. My positioin requires no faith!
