no prevalence in the absence of physical laws
Every now and then I’ll hear a creationist insist that since we assume, the physical rules before space/time, not to apply, it is therefore invalid to apply ideas like occam’s razor, or the questioning of whom god’s designer was. They assert this before-time scenario as a perfect fit for god’s domain. However, the clever deist seems to miss the fact that the very idea of a designer, was itself, birthed in the parameters of known space/time, and that there is no real reason to show prevalence over explanations devised on ideas comprehensibly attainable by our species, with respect to the mechanics related to the known universe. It is, that we, at this point, cannot know the dynamics of a system outside existence, nor can even my description of our non-comprehension, do any justice in accurately defining something outside the realm of definition, as definition itself, rests inside the parameters of our materialized existence.
intelligent design is a vein attempt at maintaining the idea of a god, in a world that increasingly dilutes it. The idea that the absence of physical laws, in any way suggests god’s existence is ignorant and stubborn. Such a non-law scenario can accept any theory, and cannot favor any other. In a system completely void of information, no predictions or assumptions can be made at all. It is by probability that, with an infinite number of possible outcomes, to rely on the prediction of one such specialized possibility, (in this case, god) proves not silly, but insane.
We as atheists use words like logic or evidence. Words that have attained bad stigma when used to explain existence. Yet these are terms that describe the functionality of all humans. Logic stops you from running out into the street without looking. Logic prevents you from sharing a warm bath with a cold toaster, and logic keeps me from wasting my time at church. Science is merely a term describing the logical assumptions we’ve made so far. A compiled understanding of mutually supporting clues that allow us to know a few things about the universe around us. And we learn more everyday. Religion in all its presumptuousness has people scoffing at science for not having all the answers, This is really strange, since it should be science scolding religion for not having any answers, well… No correct ones.
