    Paley’s writing is very difficult to comprehend and you saved my life. 😅

    Who designed the watchmaker?
    Of course nobody wants to answer that because that exposes the special pleading fallacy and how bad and self refuting the argument is.

      Yep! There's nothing in the argument, even if it worked, that would give us a singular or unmade watchmaker as David Hume points out.

      That is because in the back of their tiny minds nothing can happen without god, god is everything, god is even a cup or a jar key or a ghost. Which is a ridiculous and unfounded idea. Pure wishful thinking. Who is to say what can and what can't happen?

      Astonishing how some people want to avoid a Creator as much as possible. Complete ingrates.

      Who created the creator then? Or are you trying to avoid the creator of the creator?

      @@Aguijon1982 First cause need not a creator. And even if I don’t bring up the first cause, at least we still have a Creator regardless if that Creator has a Creator.
