If you were not a raving lunatic demon you would have seen that you only raised a counter and not a contradiction.
What kind of incoherent gibberish is this? huh cheesy

Correction: Yes, I raised a counter. And in that counter, I pointed out the contradiction in your post cool. Your unnecessary prevarications are reactionary to the simple truth about the pathetic argument you tried to make to prove a stupid point undecided. And all you could do is throw wild, off the mark shots like a dazed boxer caught with a right powerful jab grin grin grin.

That's what happens when a fool is blessed with pride. You simply don't know when to walk away and not smart enough to deliver a corresponding retort. So, you're caught up in this quagmire of humiliation.

You claimed lawyers were not partial, then went ahead to debunk your own claim by pointing out the fact that they do advocate for just one of the two sides on a hearing. Ergo, as long as that case is involved, they are partial grin! Read your very own words you demented ape:

DeepSight a lawyer? is a Lie!

Lawyers are trained to be impartial that is why we are Judges

The partisan nature of a lawyer is because the opponent already has a lawyer on his side and boh sides will be going to a Judge himself a lawyer, who suppports no side.

That is why you must have seen lawyers representing the 2 sides because in that moment he is an Arbitrator as you see ADR.

As you can see, you're immensely stupid not to see the glaring inconsistency in your argument grin cheesy grin.

Expectedly, mad.people like you do not know the difference. grin grin
StillDFool is busted once again! cheesy grin cheesy grin

Too bad your mother died with your uncle's dick deep inside her stench-trench with her pussý lips closed tightly against his shaft as he squeezed her worthless life out of her frailed body.

Her pusśy was far from ready, but the savage took her anyway grin. With a barging entrance, her pussy-gate (labia minora) yielded like the Jericho wall as it was brushed aside by a vicious and murderous buffalo, ramming home deep into her cervix. Her cry of pain was trapped in his fist clapsed around her throat, muffling every sound of anguish as he penile-slammed away grin grin grin.

And that man still walks free, enjoying life after disinheriting you. And you're here hiding behind the walls of nairaland, demonstrating your genetic woes grin grin.

Kwaaaaakwaaaakwaaa grin grin.

Did I tell you I came here to evangelize? You lying lot cannot cease from lying. People don't just believe when we preach. They get a conviction by the Holy Ghost. That's something you can never understand till you die.

Here is a thread I created for debate. Not evangelism
But you are here to prove a point, init? You wanna prove that creationism is correct. So yes, somehow, its an evangelism cos some atheists may repent after seeing your post

You're proposing we include people that can interject in our discussion and possibly even derail it. If you're so worried about breaking rules, then that's why we'll have the jury. They're the ones who will be keeping score. And like I said in my latest suggestion, they'll be free to make whatever comments they want in the "commentary thread", but we need a main thread where it's just you and me contributing with no one else posting on that thread. Basically two threads.

As for StillDtruth, rejecting him as a judge or referee was simply based on his past dishonest behavior and conduct towards debates, and the fact that I don't think he's competent enough to even understand the concepts we'll be discussing. It will be like calling a petulant 6 year old child to referee a political discussion between two scholars. He has no expertise to be making any sort of contributions there, and nearly everything he says would be straight up wrong and misleading.

Rejecting him as a lawyer though is simply because I see no need for a lawyer in this debate. What's the point? It will no longer be a 1v1, it will become a 2v2. And if it's going to be a 2v2, we might as well just allow everyone else to chip in instead of making the debate exclusive. If you've ever seen a real debate, you'll know that the only parties involved are the two individuals debating. I understand that he has fed you with baseless unevidenced lies about me, but I would hope that you're an adult who can think for himself and not let others think for you.
The suggestion is well received, but even if we create a thread dedicated to us both, it would still become a rowdy thread. I've never known Nairalanders to keep to rules. They always feel that they have the right to comment on every thread. The suggestion is good but there's a high chance it wouldn't work as envisaged.

StillDtruth already opted out as I already announced. There's no point talking about his involvement. And as I said before, my intention was not not involve him in our discussion but to have him point out infractions that might escape my notice.

Let's continue the debate on this same thread except you are confident that creating a separate thread would make a difference. Who are you nominating this time around?

That's not evangelism. There's nothing like 'somehow, it's an evangelism.' If it's evangelism, I'll be mentioning Jesus. This is purely a debate to challenge opposing views regarding Creationism. I could do this as a scientist. Not necessarily as a religionist.

No atheist has been able to offer any counter-argument against the arguments in the OP. One of them was even trying to get me into a different debate while avoiding this current debate. Another one up there has suddenly denied that atheism has anything to do with the subject matter. Atheists are liars. They argue everyday that the world came into being through natural processes but here they're trying to deny because they came face to face with an argument they couldn't counter. This shows you that atheism is actually a RELIGION. Many of the strong atheists on this forum have avoided this thread like a plague. They should keep deceiving themselves. Atheism has been destroyed.

The Existence of a Creator: A Challenge to Atheists

I had an argument with Jaephoenix a few days ago. He was completely floored and ran away from the discussion. I observed that unlike what used to be the norm, none of his fellow atheists came to his rescue. I have presented the argument in a more organized way and hereby table it as an open challenge to all atheists worldwide.

Now, let's begin:

Atheism posits that complex designs and functionality in the natural world can be explained without the need for a Creator. However, I argue that certain features of the natural world demonstrate intelligent design, purposefulness, and complexity, necessitating the existence of a Creator.
Imagine my excitement when I saw this thread, thinking finally someone would be able to prove that creator/creators exist, only to be met with a false presupposition from the very beginning.

To correct you, atheism does not posit that the external world CAN be explained without a need for a creator. That is to presuppose that atheists have an explanation for the natural world that does not include a creator. That is simply not true.

Certain aspects of the natural world are currently unexplainable, or unknown to us. But regardless of that, it doesn't mean a creator magically fits the explanation.

As an atheist, I have found no evidence to suggest that a creator is responsible for the complexity of the universe. It doesn't mean I know why the universe and things are the way they are. I don't, and I would really love to know. But if you're going to say a creator did it, there has to be some sort of evidence other than "I don't know any other reasons, so I'll go with the big C"


Key Points:

1. Intelligent Design: Complex structures like the eye exhibit intelligent design, with multiple components working together to achieve a specific purpose (sight).

2. Purposefulness: The eye's design serves a clear purpose, unlike natural processes that may create complex but purposeless structures.

3. Complexity: The eye's complexity and functionality cannot be explained by random natural processes alone.

4. Universality: The eye is a common feature across many living organisms, suggesting a deliberate design rather than a random occurrence.

5. Variety: The existence of different types of eyes (e.g., human, insect, octopus) implies a Creator who adapted designs for specific purposes.

6. Creator vs. Intelligent: The argument focuses on the existence of a Creator, not necessarily an intelligent or supernatural one.

7. Natural Processes: While natural processes can create complex structures, they lack purposefulness and intentionality, unlike the eye's design.

8. Emergence: Complex systems can exhibit emergent properties, but these do not necessarily explain the eye's purposeful design.

9. Evolutionary Explanations: Incremental adaptive changes may contribute to the eye's development, but they do not fully account for its complexity and purposefulness.

Conclusion:

The existence of complex, purposeful designs like the eye necessitates the existence of a Creator. This challenges atheistic views that rely solely on natural processes to explain the natural world. While the nature and identity of this Creator are open to discussion, the evidence from intelligent design, purposefulness, and complexity demands consideration of a Creator's role in shaping the world around us.
Congratulations. You just discovered the argument from complexity. Little tip. It also applies to a creator. Also, please remember what I said earlier. Your excuse for something cannot just be "I don't know any other reason, so X." I will bring it up quite often during our subsequent discussions.

Also, I'm going to apply the argument from complexity to a creator in my next reply, so you see exactly what I'm talking about.

Permit me to sum all these up under the branch of "complexity". Why?

To me, complexity is more than just different varying components coming together to create something different. It also comes from the very essence of a thing. For a thing to have purpose, for a thing to even be at all... both the tiny constituents that make it up, as well as the thing as a whole.

Your argument seems to come from 2 questions.

1. How complexity
2. Why complexity

Basically, we observe things around and within us, and we've seen great, incredibly great complexities (how), and in SOME cases, a sort of function for the complexity (why).


The problem is, this also applies to the idea of a god. Plugging a creator into the equation doesn't solve it. It just pushes the question from the universe to the creator. Explanation

A creator would have to be incredibly complex, perhaps more incomprehensibly complex than the things it 'created'. Such an agent being able to act on it's own denotes a purpose. Not a mission. A purpose, even if self-given. To be able to want to do something, to be able to will and decide something.. that's also a kind of something. How exactly would the nature of this being have come to be? Why exactly is it the way it is?

Just saying "that's because it's a creator" or "that's the way it is" doesn't answer the question. And you very much as well would not accept that answer from someone who says that about the universe.

Now I can already guess some things you might want to say. Things like eternity, omnipotence and so on, are abstracts. Words that have absolutely zero quantifiable meaning.

We can actually study things like planets, atoms, elements and the universe as a whole to give it properties like complexity, form, origin and so on.

We have absolutely zero information on what a creator is supposed to be in terms of these parameters like the ones I've listed above. So giving it properties like eternity, omnipotence and so on have no meaning. Because even if this alleged creator existed, we have no way to observe or verify any of the supposed properties you'd ascribe to it.

So at the end of the day, we both end up at the exact same spot, which is having no explanation for how things are, and why they are that way.

For me, it's the universe, for you, it's a creator. The only difference is, I've found no reason to take the extra leap just to end up asking the exact same questions I'm asking now.

the OP listed several things which I summed up into "how" and "why". More precisely, how things are the way they are, and why.

I also explained what I meant when I said complexity in the beginning. Once again. It's okay if you reject these things.

I'll summarize in a way that'll be easier to understand. You listed several qualities of the universe/natural world, like purposefulness, universality, complexity, variety.

You're asking why things are the way they are. Your conclusion is that a creator is responsible.

My response is

1. I don't know why things are the way they are. Why we have complexity, variety, purposefulness etc. as you've described. I'd love to know.. but so far, I don't know why.

2. Your conclusion of a creator doesn't answer the question of why things are the way they are. Even if it did exist (which has so far not still been proven) It just pushes the question a step further.

Do you finally get it or do i have to explain it again?

Actually, in summary, I'm talking about intelligently designed complex things that are by their designs enabled to fulfil particular purposes. This cannot be accidental complex designs. They're intentionally designed to fulfil particular purposes hence there's a Creator behind them. The keyword there is PURPOSE or FUNCTIONALITIES being made possible by intentionally designed complexed stuff.

By the way, when did you start identifying as an atheist. You always say you're an agnostic.

I think it's time to address something I've been letting slide ... Which is the idea of "intelligent design". If you notice, I've also avoided using the phrase since the beginning.

That's mainly because I don't see things that way. I agree with things like purpose and functionality.. as clearly seen.. but my issue with the phrase 'intelligent design' is that it looks at things from our perspective, and already tries to establish qualities about a possible creator even before trying to prove one. It ends up going in a circle.

To recap.. I agree that things are complex. I agree things look like a serve certain functions and purposes.

Minus the claim of intelligence, I don't just see why any of these would denote a creator that couldn't also be subject to these terms.

It's why I say it just pushes the question further and causes us to create more unverifiable attributes of the said creator we're trying to envision.

By the way, when did you start identifying as an atheist. You always say you're an agnostic.
Jaephoenix promised I'll get the monthly atheist palliative (half a cup of rice) if i promised to identify as one. cheesy

On a serious note tho.. I just decided to define my beliefs, or lack thereof more clearly.

As long as people understand what atheism is (lack of belief in a god), then I have no issues identifying as one.

.

I understand you clearly but by the term Intelligent Design, I do not want to focus on the intelligence in the designs or the lack of it. Rather, I see a situation whereby there is a pre-conceived intention to execute some purposeful activity, then there's something put together intelligently enough with all complexity to fulfil that purpose. So, there's a deliberate cause to bring about a desired effect. By our knowledge today as humans, we know that the effects we see wouldn't be visible if there was anything missing in the complex designs that brought about the effect. This tells us that there's a deliberate and intricate calculation involved in putting the causes in place that give us the effects that makes our world livable. You and I know that a mind or a super mind must have been involved in those things. We cannot deny that they're so intentional and deliberate, and fulfil obviously pre-intended purposes. And, the truth is that only a mind can establish a purpose.

As long as people understand what atheism is (lack of belief in a god), then I have no issues identifying as one.
Lol. Okay, I believe you're still on a journey. You'll still grasp the truth with time.

For purpose to be established, there needs to be a mind or a conscious entity behind it. This mind can be human, animal, or even a hypothetical artificial intelligence. The presence of a mind is necessary to:

1. Conceive goals and objectives
2. Make decisions and choices
3. Experience desires and intentions

In other words, purpose requires consciousness, awareness, and intentionality, which are all qualities of a mind. Without a mind, purpose cannot be established or exist. Hence, theirs evidently a mind behind these purposeful and complex designs.

No one has debated the topic of this thread yet. Why are you creating another topic and leaving the main topic unattended to?
Oh, I have. I have rebuffed your concept of 'intelligent design' with 2 points.
1. Why are the products of this 'intelligent design' seriously flawed?
2.Who created this creator?

1. You didn't refute anything. We're not discussing intelligent designs except you don't understand the output of this thread. Abd I've told you also severally that flaws in a design do not eliminate the existence of a maker. A flawed car cannot be said to be to be without a manufacturer because of its flaws.

2. Do you accept there's a Creator before asking who created Him? And who told you that a Creator must be created? By what rule or law?

Moreso, you completely avoided the topic. It's either you're dodging the real issue or you don't understand the topic.
