And yet to think that there are a good number of people who believe that the human brain, which is responsible for the development of computer technology, evolved by random chance mutations!
Is it such a giant stretch to believe that the human brain had a designer as well?

Actually it is a stretch to believe that the human brain had a designer. Here's why. There are 3 main parts of the brain. The spinal chord ends in a small lump in the lower back of the skull. This is the medulla oblongata. This structure is essentially what most reptiles have. Then there are 2 lobes around the medulla oblongata, the cerebellum. This is what mammals have. Then there are 2 large lobes, the cerebrum. This is what primates have. Human cerebrums are larger than other primates cerebrums. We know from fossils that reptiles existed much longer than mammals, and mammals existed much longer than primates, and primates existed a long time before humans existed. So, if you want to believe the human brain had a designer, then you have to believe (if you're intellectually honest) that it took the designer many millions of years. Just as the computer evolved, so did the human brain. Its difficult to comprehend how it could happen by randon chance. Imagine throwing marbles at your computer. It's not hard to imagine hitting the I key. Now imagine 100 computers having marbles thrown at them. It's not hard to imagine one of them having the letters IN getting hit.
With enough computers, and enough marbles, one of the computers will type out the book of genesis.

Are you trying to follow up on the "watchmaker theory" nonsense ?
To prove this silly, recycled, unoriginal, argument you must first need to know a person that is in fact implying such thing about computers.
Your argument is not a proof, it is an analogy. As most other analogies it is quite lame. It is contradicting, misses many important features, and does not stand alone as evidence of a designer.

lmao!!! Oh my goodness....Tell you what. You show me that a computer can suddenly just *blip* appear into existance, and perhaps I'll lend you some crediblitiy. It's a giant stretch to believe that man was made from clay, breathed into, then walked around and talked immediately after being brought to life, with a fully functional nervous and cardiovascular system. Not to mention this - if we all came from two people, why are people so many different colors? Could it be.... genetic mutations? If you're touting intelligent design, then why do men have nipples?

Evolution does exist, but not from a big-bang. God gave mankind the greatest brain so they could care for themselves. No other living thing has the intricate mind as does the human species. This did not emerge from an amoeba, but by God's hand.
The Big Bang Theory takes much more faith than to realize there is a true God that made the world and all in it.

I'd call them an idiot, but you will never win an argument that way. Believing in evolution is the same as believing you could scatter aircraft parts across the desert and when a sand storm came through when it was all over you would find a fully functioning flight worthy 747.

In the case of a computer design, a nitwit. In the case of the evolution of the human brain, someone who recognizes a fact when he sees it. Evolution has now been proven to be correct, and it is therefore a waste of time to argue against it. The problem with positing a "designer" is that since such a theory is irrefutable, it is useless: it can predict nothing. (That is provable, too.)

There is a HUGE difference between a lifeless machine and a human brain! And there is a huge difference between the relatively long history of humanity and the few decades or so that computers have been around!

What designer? Yahweh? Allah? Zeus? Nayru?
There's no way of knowing. I don't mind the argument that there could have been a "designer," but you seem to be rejecting a lot of other potential "designers" way too quickly. That's the problem with that argument; other religions could use it as well.

If you can show me that an abacus spontaneously became a computer, I may agree with you. Assuming, of course, the first abacus was made around 500,000,000 years ago.
Yes, it is a total stretch to imagine the human brain, or body for that matter, was designed. If it was, it wouldn't be so unfit for purpose.
