"Intelligent Designer"? We Should Hope Not

 

Can you name one law, any kind of law, without a law maker?..

That question reveals a critical misunderstanding of what the word "laws" means in science. It doesn't mean "commanded to behave a certain way". It just means "predictable behaviors". These appear to emerge naturally as a consequence of the natural properties of energetic phenomena.

Natural properties with such 100% precision when repeated, i can't believe that "someone" hasn't set the level of this ​100% precision. This only my opinion, not arguingbelieve that "someone" hasn't set the level of this ​100% precision. This only my opinion, not arguing
​ @tedagg2824  I don't see how less-than-100% would even be possible. Put three marbles in a jar. Close the jar. These marbles can represent protons, neutrons, and electrons. The cup can represent the gravity generated by the mass of those "marbles". Shake them randomly. They must stay 100% in the cup. They must stay 100% separate structures while sharing that space. It seems to me that everything in nature and physics is constantly being tossed about. It seems to me that everything behaves within the limits of natural properties. I don't see how any of it could do otherwise. Granted, we can easily imagine a designer/tinkerer assigning the properties that generate the effects. But as I recently discovered, ... "Particles" don't technically exist. Everything is generated by fields. Electrons emerge as a product of excitation. Patterns emerge as a product of convergent forces. Some random guy on YT once made a machine that can generate specific patterns in snowflakes ... merely by turning dial-nobs to specific settings of temperature, pressure, and humidity. (as I recall). Each arbitrary combination will always produce a very specific pattern. Systems within systems; forced to share space, forcing each other into alignments which "dance" together and mutually reshape each other. This sort of effect can also be visualized by vibrating sand with sound.
And yet, Nature is a serial killer. She also has a nasty habit of torturing her prey. Viruses, bacteria, and parasitic insects. "Intelligently designed"? This would mean that our life is a sort of Toy Story, trapping us into a space controlled by a cosmic Sid.
We should hope not. -- The amount of pain generated and processed by disease, tooth aches, ear aches, days-old 3rd degree burns, etc.. "Intelligently designed"? We should hope not. -- Hidden heavy metals, existing naturally in random bodies of fresh water, which poison generations of humans (and other) animals. "Intelligently designed"? We should hope not. -- Children. Having such vulnerable neural development that both active and passive abuse can literally force their brains (and thus, their minds) to develop into being extremely dangerous to themselves and others. ie. Major Personality Disorders. "Intelligently designed"? We should hope not. -- Deciding to NOT allow humans to fly without the aid of man-made technology. -Impeding with our freedom to "choose to do so". Deciding also to NOT allow humans to DESIRE eating dog poop. Seriously. TRY to "want to". You won't be able to enjoy the idea of it, nor the actual action. And sure. We can be GLAD that we don't even WANT to. We cannot even really want to want to want to. "Thank God" ... I guess. But that same alleged designer ... decided to allow random genetic and/or developmental factors to both enable and force a percentage of human adults to develop p3do-feel-ya ... along with other highly consequential mindstates they did not freely choose to feel. But "he" still felt like it's ok to "interfere with our free will" about flying and eating dog-poop? Why so arbitrary in his design choices? --- Next: Making countless poisonous plants and fungi. -Many of which are nearly identical to some safe/edible plant or fungus. But then, not even bothering to color-code them by their health-impacting properties? Does such a "Creator" exist? Again, we should hope not. --- Natural disasters. "Intelligently designed"? We should hope not. --- A World-Maker deciding to be so casually irresponsible with our futures that "he" relies on a book to convey future-essential truths to humans? Also, doing so long after he made the human-neurophysiological "design choices" which absolutely ensured that wouldn't work out very well? We should hope not. The list goes on. I think churches, mosques, and temples keep their dependents so distracted and invested in ongoing attempts to justify their systems ... that members never notice all the proverbial "gorillas in the room" that call those systems into question. In an ideal world, it wouldn't take an outsider to point those out. But we aren't in an ideal world. And so, it does.

Like we can say it's all men we can say it's all Christians but what if we said it's women or black people or it's the lgbtq.....I love this double standard society has. If youre not bashing men and Christians then you're a  bigot and a hater..... it's so wild to me... I can't understand it. I hate new world feminism and what it's done to people.

My "Dirty Dozen" List; For What Makes A Woman Un-Attractive (vs Attractive).

For me personally? 1. Major Personality Disorder(s) 2. Combatative or "hard" personality.  3. Christian-religious. It's fine if she's only surface-level, casually, or culturally "Christian". But if she takes it more seriously than that, it gets factored into "The Crazy/Hot Matrix". [Disclaimer: Please note, when he gets to the part where he disparages trans-identity, I cringe. I don't talk that way. I don't think it's respectful or decent to talk about trans people that way; regardless of how you or I might answer the question "What is a woman?". I don't date trans persons. But I don't talk disrespectfully about them either. I don't think it's ok to politically weaponize vulnerable people's psychosocial paradigm. But the rest of this is spot-on. I don't have the time (right now) to re-make this video without that part. So I'd ask you to understand this in context.] 4. Unhealed traumas cau...

How The Cult Mind Of Christian Fundamentalism Persists Among Many Atheists

Image
What I'm about to say, I DO NOT say on behalf of "team atheist", nor for secular humanists, leftists, or any other cultural niche. "Atheism" is like being a non-astrologist, or a non-Leprechaun-ist. It tells us nothing about what is true or valuable. In fact, my criticism of "atheism" goes much further than that, if we start talking about an atheist-themed "community". "The atheist community" is a doomed project. Not even reframing it as a "secular humanist" project can save it. Why not? Because, as a politically weaponized social environment, ... It's virtually identical to the rabble of Christian fundamentalist cults most escapees have escaped from. For someone to REALIZE they just escaped an intense system of unethical control, ... is only an early stage of their liberation and maturation. Subsequent exploration, discovery, and growth are lifelong projects. It can take many years to e...
