It takes a heck of a lot more faith to believe that the universe simply 'happened' by chance than it takes to believe in a Creator. There is a greater probability of a tornado hitting a junkyard of spare airplane parts and leaving behind in its wake a fully assembled, fully functional Boeing 747 than there is that advanced life 'evolved' out of some primordial ooze.
Actually, the chance of DNA assembling and self-replicationg is less than 1 in all the particles in the universe. Dawkins has never shown proof of anything at the DNA level and chance doesn’t get it.
I agree 100%. I had a little debate with a person yesterday and I sent him the following post.
Use your head.
If you were to travel to some distant planet and found a bolt, washer and nut miles from your ship, you could make a list of accurate conclusions.
1)If I didn’t put these here someone else did.
2)These are the products of a society because no single person would go to the trouble of making such devices for himself alone.
3)These people know something of metallurgy.
4)They have a knowledge of math and measurements.
5)They use tools
6)They build things or they wouldn’t need a fastening device.
All of these statements would be true regardless of where these things came from. You would never come to the conclusion that nature created them by happenstance. Yet you would, upon seeing the infinitely more complex design of human beings conclude that nature did the handiwork?
