dhw: Yes indeed, concepts like a universal intelligence without a source...-DAVID: Reminder, you accept a first cause. Please identify.-Reminder: The alternative to your sourceless eternal energy with inexplicable intelligence is sourceless eternal energy without intelligence, eternally transmuting itself into matter and vice versa, with individual intelligences inexplicably evolving through matter.-dhw: ...dinosaurs and weaverbirds' nests and wasps' eggs designed to produce or feed humans...
DAVID: Not produce, just feed everyone on the way.-So your God went to the trouble of designing millions of different innovations and lifestyles and natural wonders just to “feed everyone” for a few thousand million years, but they weren't even necessary for the production of humans, though humans were his “purpose”.
 
dhw: A horse without blinkers could go off in any direction (Old Texan proverb 2)

DAVID: Cowboy philosophy #2: Never mount to ride without staying in complete control of your horse or your reason.-In view of the above explanation of evolution, Old Texan proverb 3: a blindfolded horse won't have a clue where it's going.
