Before anyone jumps down my throat I deliberately made the title of this thread an oxymoron.


I'm an open minded guy

I don't have an axe to grind (well not that often)

Im not religious as such / anyhow I've recently started a blog about that old chestnut God and evolution :poke-eye:

Check it out / leave a comment if you like

@andykelly,
Think of a clock. The mechanism inside the clock is orderly and complex and must have maker, the clockmaker. Now think of the universe with all of it's complexity it must also have a Divine Maker, God.

This is the Teleological Argument

1. Dose it take intelligence to create a law?
2. Dose it take power to enforce that law?
3. Is a thing that has intelligence to create a law and power to enforce that law an entity?
4. Are the laws of this universe which enables us to perform actions in effect?

Logically, and scientifically all answers to the four questions are "yes".

Therefore based upon such, one can denote that a powerful intelligent entity existed and still exists at this point. Yet such dose not definitively prove "God", it only definitively proves a powerful intelligent entity created and enforces the laws which allows us to exist and continue to exist, and such entity existed and still exists.

With such said, the phrase "God might have created the universe" enters the realm of probability
