People don't want to be told they are going to hell. But I think a bigger part of this is the physical vs. spiritual aspect of things. If you can't explain it through a physical description (touch, smell, math,etc...) then it can't possible exist.
The part I find odd about this discussion is so many evolutionists will admit there is an intelligence involved in evolution without admitting their is an intelligent being that created it. It's easier to believe intelligence can exist out of nothing than to admit it could possibly be a being such as God. |
I agree with what you're saying about the rules. And, additional to following certain "morals", they want to believe that those morals are not the result of anything other than themselves - they can decide for themselves what morals are! They do not need some fairy tale to provide them! Dammit!!
Other than Tonio above, I've not personally heard them explain intelligence invovled in the design, other than their own intelligence in figuring out the happenstance of it.
