Quote:So, given the silliness of random evolution, we must conclude that evolution is designed by some conscious being. This causal change must necessarily regress back to the universe itself.
The teleological argument was abandoned by academics for a reason man.
Quote:Your statement is only true under the assumption that only that which is physically measurable is observable. You have defined this subject matter as being inherently nonsensical because you have chosen not to imagine what would count as evidence if not something physically observable. Your own emotional states are evidence. If you pay careful enough attention to them, you will discover that they have a distinct topography, that each emotion is different from another, that they fall into categories, that they cluster into groups, etc. Just like physical particles.
And different emotional states have corresponding physical correlations such as chemical release and stimulation of certain areas in the brain. I'd say it's a pretty worthy assumption. I'm not saying the universe is 100% mechanistic but your example of a non physical observation isn't quite true.
