I’m too scared to put this in GD for a couple of reasons:

- GD is full of super-heavyweights, which is a class I am not sure I’m in
- I don’t want to appear pretentious

So let’s start it in here and see how we go.

I believe the idea that the universe has an intelligent creator makes more sense than not having an intelligent creator. If you look at matter’s basic building block, the atom, and observe all of its magnificent complexity, structure and functionality, it surely makes “more sense” that it was designed.

A quick pre-emptive strike:

“But CalD, if complexity requires a designer, who designed the designer?”

My answer -\> Complexity requires a designer in the known physical world. In a non-physical world without space/time/matter, this constraint may not exist.
