you don't understand the basis of your reality, yet you assume that it could not have had a creator?
is that a rational position?
you've plainly admitted in front of the atheist cohort that even inorganic matter is infinitely complex and mystifying.
yet you seem unable to draw the analogy that as human beings, endowed with the ability to create, that a cosmic force or god couldn't possibly have lifted a finger to create.
there's no reason why a leaf is shaped as it is, in a triangular fashion, or oval shape, rather than being a collection of squiggly lines.
this world is clearly coded to a certain aesthetic. one that seems to be based around pain and suffering, but a discernible aesthetic no less.
the more you correspond with me the more you will understand that you will intellectually never surpass the role of cruiserweight, and i'm the heavyweight champ of the world, the smartest gentleman to ever register an account on evc forum, a place far beneath my intellect and hubris

do i know what hubris means?
do you know that i have an MA in english studies and that i worked with famous writers.
assumptions are your trade.
leaves that looked like squiggly lines could perform functionally just as well as what we have, if the code said it had to. don't you understand that? that everything is unique according to a certain molecular, biological, and genetic code?
you are interested in how the universe works, but you are overlooking the "why" of why does it work the way it does.
a car is designed to look and perform and operate a certain way. we're an infinitely more complex structure than a car, yet you don't seem concerned about who created our code.

the reason why our society is doomed and why satan controls our world is because no one wants to ask the interesting questions. they want to calf lick. they want to collect. they want to create uninteresting arguments that miss the point entirely.

so there is a code and unless the code is sentient and created itself there had to be a coder

Re: Code
interesting. i was using code as a metaphor for however God creates the superstructures that manifest our reality.
it seems an impossibility that matter and life can just sprout out of nothing, no mechanism, no instruction. of course, humans create. so we extend the metaphor to our deity. and maybe it is that simple. we create because we are made in image of the creator.

Re: Code
as offensive as it sounds, i am of the opinion that atheism is a mental illness
charlie shared a curious anecdote. according to his research into near death experiences, atheists in hell do not actually believe there is no god. they had consciously lied to themselves their entire lives on earth.

it would be better there be no god at all than a god without the sacraments
i don't know how you get by without the sacraments, phat. i really don't. when one has a soul-yearning for christ, a true thirst, confession brings us into communion. according to rad trad catholics, we gain no merit from our prayers when in a state of mortal sin.
life without the interplay of christ and his dearly beloved mother is heartache.
