“If you find a beautifully designed system—their favorite example was a digital watch—then there must be a planner, a creator, behind it. So just look at the world of Nature—”
The Songs of Distant Earth, Arthur C. Clarke
I find people using this argument, from 1986, posting it today.
It is a flawed argument. Just as Clarke was pointing out.
@feloneouscat Have you heard Douglas Adams' Sentient Puddle parable?
@feloneouscat I… nature is practically the queen b**ch of trial, error, and natural selection. Intelligent design my butt. 🍑 An intelligent designer wouldn’t need errors.
