> > DAVID: T[i]he bold is your psychoanalysis of me without evidence. I accept what history tells us God did. I have analyzed from those events what I think is God's purpose. Our magnificent brain, the most unusual item in the universe, defines His goal. My criticism of His method notwithstanding.[/i]
> > 
> > dhw: Again assuming that God exists, you have admitted that you have no idea why he would have chosen the method you impose on him in order to fulfil the purpose you impose on him. Your confession is my “evidence”! Even your magnificent brain can make no sense of your theory unless you ridicule your supposedly omnipotent, omniscient God as being messy and inefficient, which is a contradiction in itself.

> You conflate constantly. God uses a messy mechanism but remains all potent, all omniscient, etc.

> > DAVID: [i]We survive as does the plentitude of life on Earth, all of which humans can use. If you could crack open your mind to imagine a designer who knows humans need support and supplies it, you would finally understand me.[/i]
> > 
> > dhw: For 3.X billion years, your designer knew that every creature you say he created needed support, and he supplied it. Many of them lived for millions and millions of years, and 99.9% of them had no connection with us humans or our supplies. If only you would stop trying to divert attention from the whole history of life, you would finally stop pretending that your theory makes sense even though you admit that it doesn’t!
