Are You Better Than A Snowman?



A "man" and a girl. One, simple, yet the product of design. The other, complex, incredibly complex, incredibly, incredibly complex, yet the product of blind chance. One, animate; the other, inanimate. The designed inanimate object is a crude mimicry of the undesigned animate object. One was wanted, designed, lovingly crafted; the other, the product of a blind, uncaring, mindless process (or so we are told).

Would you be prepared to accept that the snowman just came into being by chance?

How about the infinitely more complex and valuable human being?

So let me ask you: are you better than a snowman?

If by better you mean more complex then the answer is contained in your preamble. The snowman took a couple of hours to build by someone that is the product of millions of years of evolution.
I should say that I don't have a problem with the idea of intelligent design as long as it is treated as philosophy rather than science.
