I stopped reading after the following parochial imbecility "I don't see Christ's redemption limited to human beings".

Yet another example of somebody in love with the English word "religion" but not with the meaning behind it.

So you think that random mutation and natural selection can produce a intelligent being but a intelligent designer can't. Why?

I am so happy to read this comment of yours. I hope someday you'll come to reason that even we have been produced by an intelligent designer.

Would you conclude from this that we are machine? I am thinking to some creationists who argue that animals are sort of machines, and this to give evidence for "intelligent design"

My first problem with "intelligent design" is that, as an explanation, it assumes more than it explain. Where would an intelligent designer comes from?

Then, if you look at the Mandelbrot set, you can see many complex structures, and this illustrates that very complex structures can arise from very simple principle. Of course we know that this is already the case in arithmetic where all possible machine already exist together with all their possible execution (which is why I suggest to explain this to you (hope my last post was not to much wishes-breaking!).

So God does not need to create machines, it is enough to create 0 and the successors and told them to add and multiply. This leads to all machines + all computations, making the creationist argument non valid.

That's an interesting and novel argument. However, to counter it I suspect the theist would say they don't believe in comp.

Yes. But then they must accept that the argument by design does not apply to us. God would have created the bacterium flagella, (it looks so much like a designed machine, they say), but not the human soul. God would have made nature minus the human.

A remaining possible role for a God would be in a selection process. But a selection is done automatically (by the FPI or consciousness) ... in case the relative measure on computations, provided by computer science, fits well with the measure inferred from nature (given today by QM, this makes computationalism testable). Here Quantum Mechanics illustrates indeed that apparently, those measure fits well, as far as we can say today.
