Re: misunderstanding and finger paint

With all due apologies to atheists, I think that the quirk in human thought that dares to suggest that you can explain creation without a creator is as insulting as going to an art museaum and attempting to explain a great painting with no mention or concern of the artist.

But the opposite is true: there is an even stronger, I would argue, "quirk in human thought" that assigns intelligent creation where there is none. There have been many art studies done with falsified art shows, containing "art" produced by animals, toddlers, and computers; but attributed to experienced human artists. Essentially people cannot distinguish art done with creative intelligent intent from that done rather randomly.
I think this is called "backfiring". Or has Phatboy been "pissing into the wind"?
Anyway, well done, Pink.

We are all atheists about most of the gods that humanity has ever believed in. Some of us just go one god further. - Richard Dawkins
