DMcG - thanks for taking the time to answer those questions, and your candor whilst doing so. Much of what you've written chimes with me as reading your post I realised I thought similarly before I came to the conclusion that Christianity was not for me, after a long period of reflection.


"And if it didn't follow the process of logic, it wouldn't work; and therefore it would be absurd and would not exist."

Logic is a human construct, a function of language and thought and cannot be applied to natural processes at all. Your designer eschews logic as it is not present in any natural system. Natural systems self-organise of course, but this is the result of physics and chemistry, not the guiding hand of a designer and perhaps this might look like it's adhering to logic, but it's not.

Your thought process holds water though, as the idea that all natural processes in the universe are subject to laws contained in a huge set of rules drawn up by a omniscient, all-powerful supernatural being is not in the slightest bit logical, is utterly absurd and and of course neither the rules, or according to current evidence any gods, exist.


"To me it is an historical account"

Demonstrating your self-delusion doesn't help your argument.
