Because the fact that I do not spontaneously turn into a grasshopper must prove God exists.the game designer cannot tinker with the code while you are playing it . In essence, the designer can create the game but he can not influence it in any way after the fact . If the programmer ceased to exist at this point, it would not affect your game whatsoever.
Basically, for his "science requires order" argument to work, it must assume that, if a god exists, he is impotent.
Atheists are certain things will remain constant because they know there are no outside forces acting on the universe. Theists, however, do believe God acts on the universe even now. How, then, do THEY explain their belief in consistancy?
These are the same Christians that believe Jesus walked on water, moses parted the red sea, there was a talking snake, God talks through burning bushes that don't burn, the sun stood still (or I assume the Earth did), water was transformed into wine, a woman was turned to salt, a staff became a snake, etc, etc, etc...

But you should also note that the game designer cannot tinker with the code while you are playing it.
His basic argument is that because there's uniformity in the universe, there must be a God to make it happen. That's cute, Mr. Fundie. Who's to say ANYONE had to "create" it, or write the rules? Why does there have to be?
Okay: After studying the history of the Biblical authors as well as the Bible itself I now know two things about the Bible.
I'm seeing this tactic more and more often. When it's become plainly obvious that the mythical and primitive god of the bible cannot exist you must invent a nebulous, poorly defined, unfalsifiable version of god. Then you cherry pick the bible, add a little creative interpretation, and merge the nebulous god with the biblical god!
First of all, it is internally inconsistent to argue that god makes the Universe predictable and uniform when you believe in a supernatural, interventionist god.
Ignignockt --are provisional.
Either that, or some fundies are simply incapable of conceiving of a form of inquiry not based on assuming the infallibility of a single source.
it really pisses me off that people post rants or arguments or things like that on youtube
i mean why not text? it's faster, easier to go back and look at something, i don't have to listen to you talk, etc.
Confused?
So were we! You can find all of this, and more, on Fundies Say the Darndest Things!
