(83 posts)If you believe in a creator or not, you are always stuck with the "Where did it all start?" question.
My argument is that life is way too complex to be an accident. If I buy the parts to build a computer, and I accidentally assemble them correctly, it is still an inert object. So then let's say I figure out to plug it in (lightning strikes, a comet hits Earth, whatever), it still has no operating system and is not yet a computer. But once I install an OS it can then compute.
Point being, there is information in the chromosomes of living things, which governs their behavior. It had to have been embedded there by an Intelligence.
To address the tangents you introduced, the Creator has no gender, and I never said anything about thousands of years - the universe is obviously billions of years old.
