Blackjack and Design

[crjmurray]

I have not seen enough of your position to know what it is. Being a Deist according to crjmurray is not something I know about.

Again, my beliefs have nothing to do with the topics I'm trying to discuss. You're projecting your inability to separate your religious beliefs from reality onto others.

 

[crjmurray]

I wanted to show that your idea of complex and the complexity that is found in life is not even comparable.

I find many things complex but they are exceedingly simple when compared with the complexity we find in one cell.

You've shown evasiveness and special pleading.

Really? What special pleading? Where have I evaded? I didn't answer one question and asked one of you and I am evading? This is comical.

So why do you have design in the OP title?

I've been wondering that too.

If a pair of Aces demonstrates design because of the chances of they showing up like that, then any two cards should show design, since their chances are the same.

It is special pleading to say that other complex systems can be explained by natural mechanisms but life is just too darn complex so therefore God.

Your posts are the best evidence of your evasiveness so I'll let them stand on their own.

How does this relate to my post?

I would think if one puts Design in the mix that God talk will be involved.

This confusion is probably better than any point I could have made. You guys see no design in the example because why would you? But when it comes to biology well of course its all designed! It's just so complex it can't possibly be anything other than some super special design!

Eventually.

No it isn't. How is my claim asking for a different standard of evidence or that the evidence be modified or reversed?

Ok, you do that.

Maybe he should change the title.

The "design" in blackjack are on the cards and the instructions to the game, and have nothing to do with how the cards fall.

Both the printing on the cards and the written instructions come from an intelligent source.

Very good point.

If two cards get married, do they have card offspring that are slightly different copies of their parent cards?

Do you look like your other family members because you were each separately created by a deity, or because you share a common ancestor?

Kinda weird that no one chose the God did it option.....

No it isn't.

No, it definitely is. I've seen way more mundane things attributed to God. On these forums as a matter of fact.
