Isn't a creator obvious?

Question

When I look at a building, I know there was an architect who designed it.

When I look at a painting, I know there was an artist.

When I look at a robot, I know someone designed it that way.

So why when we look at life, we think it all happened by chance?

Does that just seem backwards to you?

Answer 1

You ask a good question yet others will mock you because of their own lack of understanding.
It saddens me that people blind themselves that they are unable to see the Truth in logic. (I know I'll be called an idiot and that I have no intelligence, but I know the degrees I have and the IQ I possess)
They have their own insecurities that they have to deal with and therefore try to make others feel bad and be brought down to their own hurting petty lives.
You have comfort in Jesus and the knowledge that you possess is far greater than the knowledge of mankind.
"For since the creation of the world God's invisible qualites - his eternal power and divine nature - have been clearly seen, being understood from what has been made, so that men are without excuse. For although they knew God, they neither glorified him as God nor gave thanks to him, but their thinking became futile and their foolish hearts were darkened. Although they claim to be wise, they became fools and exchanged the glory of the immortal God for images made to look like mortal man and birds and animals and reptiles. . . They exchanged the truth of God for a lie, and worshiped and served created things rather than the Creator - who is forever praised. Amen" Romans 1:20-23,25

Answer 2

And using that SAME argument, you have the following problem: Isn't a CREATOR of the creator JUST as obvious?

"When I look at a building, I know there was an architect who designed it.

When I look at a painting, I know there was an artist.

When I look at a robot, I know someone designed it that way."

When I Look at the creator, I know He MUST have had a creator. Isn't it JUST as backwards to assume that He has always existed?

Why do you have such a need to justify your religion to other people? Also, how can you be sure you are worshiping the right God? What if there is more than one like many religions believe? If you enjoy your belief, that's great, but it doesn't mean the rest of us are ignorant.
To me there are too many inconsistencies in religion to be believable. When I've asked questions I am told you just have to have faith. That is the catch all answer, but really not an answer at all.
Humans have been on the earth for more than 700,000 years, when was your God created? (As to you own rational, everything has a creator.) Did he just happen by chance?
Religion is good in many ways for many people. I just get tired of them thinking that everybody needs it. I cannot believe, it's not possible. But see, I'm okay with that, I'm happy the way I am. I don't need catch all phrases to explain the world to me. And I can't have blind faith in something that doesn't make sense to me.

Answer 4

When i look at a builing, i see an architect who designed it, and the laborers who spent time to build it, and the people who run it to keep it working.

When i look at a painting, i see the type of person that painted it.

When i look at a robot, i see the many years of technology affecting it at this point in time, and the laborers who made it.

So when i look at life, i see all the time and effort the humanity and nature has spent to evolve that life form into the specimen it is now, and how its offspring will look completely different 10,000 generations later.

When i think of a creator of life, i look at two things.
1. an underwater sea vent.
2. some otherworldy being made of spaghetti that flies and touches others with his noodly appendages, which inspires happiness, hope, and life.

Answer 5

You don't look very deep.If you did,you would see a progression from simple life to more complex life,the extinction of the dinosaurs 65 million years ago,backed up by the discovery of the impact crater and the worldwide iridium layer.The rise of mammals,primates,hominids and man.You would see the agreement between all the sciences on it.If you looked,just a little,you would see that it is "backwards" to ignore the overwhelming evidence from multiple sciences that support the Theory of Evolution and say instead that people,thousands of years ago,with no microscope,telescope,nothing,
had it all figured out and all our knowledge today is bogus.It is especially "backwards"to make such a claim via Internet

Answer 6

Yay, stuff that can't procreate.

We can find the architect, the blueprints, the construction workers.

We can find the artist, the canvas maker, the paint maker.

We can find the engineer, the wire manufacturer, the memory card manufacturer.

We can't find the frog maker, the dirt maker, the booger maker.

Answer 7

complexity does not imply design, consider a snowflake (not designed, all are different, created by random orientation of water particles, but they are complex!)

even if there was a creator, it is not necessarily "god"

we can make the jump from watch to watchmaker as we know everything about the parts of a watch and we know of watchmakers, but we do not know anything about universe makers. The jump from universe to universe maker is outside of our experience.

Answer 8

OK, now show me a building, painting or robot that self-replicates, every generation a little different from the previous?

Answer 9

No, it doesn't seem backward. Trying to applying the rules of synthetic(man made) construction to the natural world is backwards, unless you think humans made the universe.

Answer 10

you know most primitive buildings are not designed by architects.
birds build nests without the need for a designer...a molusc has a shell that grows around it out of necessity.
They evolve from a specific need for shelter...it is only as we have become more advanced that our needs have required us to design inteligently.
