Does the explanation of a deeply complex and improbable universe containing incredibly complex and improbable structures (e.g. life?) as being created by an even more complex, and therefore improbable being (i.e. God), make any sense at all?

If the existence of everything as we know it is considered too complex and improbable to have been the result of "chance" how can anyone justify invoking an even more complex and improbable being as an explanation?

What did I do?

Hi I am relatively new here so forgive me if I have just got the rules wrong or something.
Did I do something wrong? Is this post too "flimsy" to be included?

Just wondered why not included anywhere and if there is aproblem what it is so I will avoid making it again!

Per the rules:

When introducing a new topic, please keep the message narrowly focused. Do not include more than a few points.

Basically you asked: Does it make any sense to say that the universe was created by God? Your topic is too general.

Try to find something more specific or maybe a different angle than what has been discussed concerning creation.

Sorry your post wasn't addressed earlier, but I'm not inclined to promote this general of a topic.

Fair enough

Fair enough. You guys admin a lot more stringently than other forums I have been part of and frankly the forum is generally better for it.
I understand your point, accept it and will bear it in mind in future.

No problem.
