Blog #6 Exploring Counterarguments

In blog post #5, I claimed that God did not create the universe because man created the idea of a God. This causes a lot of controversy amongst religious believers. Someone holding an opposing viewpoint might argue that the nature of earth is too intricate and fits together so perfectly that it had to be created by an intelligent designer. I will agree that the way life works on earth is amazing. Let us imagine that an intelligent designer did indeed create the universe in all its intricacies. This deity did not make automobiles, houses, computers, etc. So this means that at some point in this theory evolution had to have taken over. When did that occur? What characteristics separate the things that have been intelligently design by a deity and the things that have been intelligently designed by a human? Maybe earth was intelligently design by a being that came from another place in our universe? There are a lot of unknowns about the way our universe works, what it consists of and where it truly ends. I feel our universe is so enormous and filled with so many other galaxies with planets of their own that the chances of life occurring on one or more of them are not that unlikely.
