I think you made that comment because you feel the need to attack any atheistic position, and you have not given the matter any real critical thought.
If a brainworm is an idea, Islam is a brainworm.
But the idea of a brainworm is just an idea. It's just a way of putting it. It can make logical sense but not be true.
When people who have a firm position on something (i.e. atheists or devout believers) come across a theory that sounds coherent, they repeat it ad infinitum in order to make it more "true", because as we all know, repeating a lie makes it the accepted truth.
Within the brainworm theory, i agree, islam is a brainworm.
Within the entire universe I disagree, i think it is the wrong way of looking at things. To me, these evolutionists want to project their evolution theory onto everything, because they only see the world in terms of evolution. Just like religious people only see the world in terms of religion.
I am a designer, and i often fall into the same trap, i think everything is about design. (i mean graphic design, not "intelligent" design).
It's called "vocational prejudice" or something. I genuinely believe the world could be a perfect place if we had more typographers and better architects. Then i realise that i only put so much priority on the importance of design because I AM a designer.
Anyway.
If god is everything, how can god not exist? lol.
Stick with me budzos, i know you vote for unpopular clips that i also vote for so we can't be so opposite as you think.
makes me puke.
a sort of organic gnosticism if I ever saw one.
my brainworm tells you to do this.
but don't sell me man, don't sell
bah, you designers are all the same...
the intelligent design hypothesis is flawed, but not in the way the pseudoevolutionists think, but in the way it implies a higher being who designs and does not in necessity create.
a designer does not create ex nihilo, out of nothing
he DESIGNS, so the problem still remains, the problem of matter for instance, or of pure substance
which not even the jargon of quantum mechanics can devalue
i.e. where does substance come from.
matter, substance etc. is independent of the designer, the "stuff" of the universe remains a mystery, whichever way we chose to interpret it
be it sci-entific capitalist ideology
or this new rationalistic creation theory
