Re: Blasphemy

Granny, if your wonderfully designed kidneys are failing it's not the fault of the kidneys. It's likely something relative (abe: to) your lifestyle and the good ole American diet.

Gee you'd think the alleged "intellegent" designer would be able to design kidneys that would function no matter what lifestlye and/or diet they're subjected too. Just one more example of his/her incompentence I guess.

soon I discovered that this rock thing was true
Jerry Lee Lewis was the devil
Jesus was an architect previous to his career as a prophet
All of a sudden i found myself in love with the world
And so there was only one thing I could do
Was ding a ding dang my dang along ling long - Jesus Built my Hotrod Ministry
Live every week like it's Shark Week! - Tracey Jordan
Just a monkey in a long line of kings. - Matthew Good

Re: Blasphemy

Mmm, like if your automobile's crank case is filled with kerosene which it was not designed for, you'd blame the incompetent maker for the breakdown

But the designer of my automobile is only an imperfect creation, and thus can't forsee every eventuality. Her design is also constrained by multiple factors relating to the production of my car. The alleged "intellegent" designer is supposedly more knowledgeable than us and operates with no limitations, unless you're proposing that our designer is imperfect as well?

Re: Unappreciative Blasphemy Thread

The creator of an army designs the army to the needs and purposes of the government, not according to the whims and desires of the individuals which make it up

And sometimes the creator of that army is wrong and the individuals who make up the army know better than they do what works or not. For example, say a high ranking member of the army sets out the number of troops needed to occupy a country and the Secretary of Defense ignores him and sends in a small number, leading to widespread chaos. Similary the "intellegent designer" makes shoddy parts in humans that need replacing or just don't function from the start and so the humans have to come up with work arounds.

edited to add: Your analogy is flawed anyways. The creator of the Army is limited in the creation of the army by budget, technology, politics and intellegence of threats and thus can't make the perfect army. The alleged intellegent designer supposedly has no limits and yet still creates flawed designs.

Re: Natures Folly

It's a free-for-all blasphemy thread.

What? the only person I've seen blaspheme against Odin the Allfather has been Buz, it's hardly been a free-for-all.

Adding another tube introduces redundancy.

Redundancy in design is good, it prevents catastrophe. Do you think that a bridge is designed only to the maximum load it's expected to experience?

Re: Provoking the designer

when you ignore everything that the owner's manual prescribes

And what owner's manual do we have for the human body?

Re: Provoking the designer

Where in the bible would I find:
a. recommended daily intake of Vitamin A?
b. maximum lifetime exposure to radiation?
c. the procedure to replace a faulty OEM part?
