Some of you seem to be advancing the following argument: -- While T exemplifies properties of design, T does not exemplify properties of a T...
In either case, you're still speaking of intentionality, which implies intelligence of some sort.
But suppose you are right in saying that an Intelligent designer would, in some way, be hard to explain. So what? You don't throw out hypotheses...
Greetings, But that’s just the thing, you don’t need to know what other universes would or could look like in order to know that : 1. Life...
Regardles of what may be "out there" somewhere, you've still got to account for what we have, viz., a universe that displays a large degree of...
