dances with atheists

It seems to me that atheism must hinges on the principle of randomness in existence.

If intentionality is identified, then atheism begins to flounder.

If what we call the deoxyribonucleic molecule cannot exist without design, then it has been designed and atheism is clearly faltering.

If a swan is beautiful for an intended reason, if my capacity to behold that beauty is intended, if beauty itself is an intended meaningful purposeful concept, then atheism fails.

If existence has been intentionally deliberately lovingly incepted, God is real.

One of the unsteady propositions atheists rely on for their world view without ever stating it, is the notion that they have identified some way of measuring intentionality and using this methodology, have excluded intentionality as an explanation for the creation of the universe and our experiencing of life.

Atheistic thinkers have no metric for measuring intentionality beyond refusing to see it under any circumstances.

In anything to do with first causes of the universe. no matter how intricate, splendid, orchestrated, beautiful, extraordinary and wondrous our resultant life and experience of life is, atheism insists it's all an accident.

The famous atheist Richard Dawkins has stated publically that if he saw Jesus returning to earth on the clouds of heaven, he (Dawkins) would persist in his atheism, perhaps explaining the event as some sort of quantum fluctuation.

This is the same Jesus, mark you, who is once reputed to have said that there are those who will not change their ways even if someone rose from the dead to warn them.

For the rest, me and Dawky agree on some things.

He thinks an energy or energetic phenomenon created existence.

Our only difference on this point is that I suggest the energy did it on purpose.

And although Mr Dawkins essentially believes a random molecule of mud in a random primordial pond may become randomly conscious and indeed has become the ancestor of all consciousness, by being struck randomly by an unintentioned bolt of random lightning, he draws the line at accepting that an eternally existing energy which he purports by his scientific statements to believe in, could ever think for itself.

People are strange.
