for a designer?

Oh but someone must have made it all, believers cry. Did someone make the grass grow of the birds nest? The idea is nonsense. So the designer idea makes no sense. And let's not forget the illogicality of saying that the complex needs to be created, but a being with a mind of the enormous complexity to create the laws of physics didn't need to be created. Isn't that just changing the rules, to sustain a wholly illogical argument? Either the complex needs to be created or it does not. You can't have it both ways.

What of the nature of God? Consider this. Do you actually know of any form of intelligence which has no physical basis? Of course you don't. The baby is not born understanding the world. That develops as the child grows. Intelligence and consciousness always develop in a physical entity. God is said to be a conscious being without a physical form. But where is the evidence? Oh yes there are plenty of opinions, but evidence that actually stands up, have you got any? The truth is you don't, and the idea makes no sense. To create the idea of God, everything we actually know about consciousness needs to be reversed. But there are no valid grounds for reversing it.

So here we are. There is no evidence and the idea of a loving God makes any sense; the idea of a just God makes no sense; the idea of prayer makes no sense; the idea of the natural world being made makes no sense and let's be honest if you examine holy books they are so full of contradictions that they don't even begin to make sense either. So the whole idea of God makes no more sense.
