One such as yourself cannot be taken seriously if you do not respond to my posts and the particular arguments therein. You do not make arguments. You rely on solipsisms. When you want to talk about evidence and reality then we will be more than willing to discuss.

. . . law, order, identifiable purpose and design are proof of a creator.
Evidence please.
Of course both positions are equal in evidence,. . . No, they are not. You have yet to support the argument that law, order, and identifiable purpose are signs of creator and a creator alone with evidence.
Please demonstrate how nature or natural causes is anything more than a display of nature? please demonstrate how natural causes is an explanation of soley natural causes Natural causes are just that, natural causes. You are suggesting supernatural causes, and are doing so without any observations of supernatural causation, nor evidence of it.
Law, order and purpose are more that sufficient and on the same equalitywith nature causes (as you use the term) to provide evidence of a designer Why? How are law, order, and purpose evidence of a designer? It would seem to me that law, order, and purpose are evidence of law, order and purpose in the same way that natural causes are evidence of natural causes.
My prediction is that you are to lazy to make a rebuttal and one of your cohorts will pick up the ball Claims made without evidence refute themselves.

While logic has its uses, it is only an abstract term, the symbols, inferences and its other aspects are abstract, they are not real things. The same applies to law, order, and purpose. These are abstract terms as well.
reality only allows to alternatives to answer of the question, why and how things are here Reality offers no alternatives. There is only one reality. Period.
Reality only provides two logical alternatives to the reality of exitence, why it is here, how it operates. Again, reality offers no alternatives. There is only the way things are. That's it. If you want to claim that things are a certain way, then you need to show us evidence that this is so.
So why wouldnt someone conclude a designer or God? Why would they, given the absence of evidence for a designer or God?
If someone is still not convinced in this connection then it would fall to the fact that this is what reality permits in the nature of choices Again, there is only reality. Not choices. Not possibilities. Just reality.
Gods eternal existence would be more reasonable as a choice Where is the evience that God exists, or that God is eternal? You have yet to supply this evidence.

For what it is worth:
quote: Moller's connection with Wyatt taints all of Moller's claims. Wyatt was a con artist. Plain and simple.

Interestingly, also, is that if so many are so anxious to debunk the evidence why aren't they there to do it fair and square themselves. That's easy. They don't want to find the evidence that Moller produced. There is no evidence to debunk. That's the point.

If law order and purpose are not equal in evidence of a designer, to the answer of soley natural causes, then it would follow logically that you could or do have the means to demonstrate your position from start to finish. Right back atcha. You need to show, with evidence, that laws, order, and purpose are caused by a supernatural designer. This is the claim you are making, so it is up to you to supply the evidence. The burden of proof is on you, not me.
Really taq? Please explain how your positionl and mine, do not stand or fall together. Given the available evidence
You mean "Why do I reject a false dichotomy?". That should answer itself as well.

Instead of all of this, just look at the logical possibilites, because if you reject the scriptures, that is all you have. Wouldnt you agree You always seem to miss a step. It is not about rejecting scripture. It is a lack of evidence which does not allow us to accept scripture. It is evidence first, then acceptance.

I am initially saying, demonstrate why you think you have evidence of natural causes that are the cause of everything. I am not claiming that I know what caused everything. You are making claims that you know what caused everything. I am asking for evidence that backs up your claims. Where is it?
Are you ready to admit you have no evidence of natural causes, or will you continue with your word play Word games? I am not the one shifting the burden of proof and using false dichotomies. That would be you.
