*sigh* you can say that about anything then winace. that building outside can't have a creator either. It leans, it shifts, it will fall if hit by a 9.0 earthquake.WinAce said:That's what explanatory/predictive power is for, PastorFreud. Even the fundiest of fundies can't deny that parasites can be directly predicted on the basis of, say, a malevolent god, but the exact opposite on the basis of a benevolent one. Sure, you can explain away those things--but you can explain away anything, even all the myriad observations that demonstrate the earth isn't flat. Unless you can do so in a way more parsimonious and demonstrable than taking the evidence at face value, such ad hoc rationalizations remain unconvincing.
