A Real Argument Against Intelligent Design: Intelligent Design, Belief in God & Atheism

Belief is for something you can not know.

God is an improvable. No one can prove God exists. We can look at things and surmise the existence of God is true. Often, that is a fallacy based upon skewing the facts—including just what proves one’s point while ignoring the rest of the data.

By the same token, one can not prove that God does not exist either.

This was a point made by Bertrand Russell, one of the greatest logicians of our time and the 19^th century.

Believing in God is quite logical. The belief answers many questions.

The disbelief in God, is also quite logical.

However, the dogmatic disbelief in God is not logical at all.

Or, the belief that the disbelief in God is a fact, is not logical.

There are good reasons not to believe in God.

There are even better reasons to reject that which is said in the name of God.

While the opposite of the belief in God is atheism, this is not what many people mean when they say they do not believe in God. What they mean is they reject their theory of God or belief system in God. Meaning, the explanations of evil, heaven & hell, austerity of life, suffering, poverty, etc. ‘Why me?’ ‘Why do I suffer so much, while others have it so good, or easy?!’

Not believing in God is usually more a denouncement of a religion than the disbelief in God.

Many people use the idea of intelligent design to prove the existence of God. This is not new. This is done by the old Middle Eastern view of master architect. This was done by the Greeks with all their math. Albeit for a polytheistic view of gods. This has been done by many physicists. The French Catholic scientists and mathematicians did the same. Louis Pasteur’s discoveries were all done in the quest to prove that life comes from God and can not be man made. Laplace, in his magnum opus, Méchanic Céleste (Heavenly Mechanics or The Mechanics of the Sky), went into a great in-depth explanation of the math of motion. Also, to explain, that there is a “great” intelligent mover, who knows where every molecule will go and when.

None of which “proves” the existence of God. All of which merely lends credibility to the existence of God.

Or, as some would say, using God to explain what we can not understand.

A proposed logical argument that is not logical is a fallacy.

A refutation proves that a logical argument is a fallacy.

The refutation of intelligent design is NOT atheism—the belief that God does not exist.

The refutation of intelligent design is proving the premise, the idea, that the design of the universe is really not as intelligent as we believe:

“If a man in order to shoot a hare, were to discharge thousands of guns on a great moor in all possible directions; if in order to get into a locked room, he were to buy ten thousand casual keys, and try them all; if, in order to have a house, he were to build a town, and leave all the other houses to wind and weather—assuredly no one would call such proceedings purposeful and still less would anyone conjecture behind these proceedings a higher wisdom, unrevealed reasons, and superior prudence.” [Yet so is Nature…] – J.W.N. Sullivan … The words quoted by Sullivan are from Lange, “History of Materialism”.

THAT—is a real counter-argument to intelligent design!

Of course, that counter-argument has been rebutted with all the advantages to the eco-system and fulfillment of the needs of the food chain as well as life in general, that such behavior brings.

Brilliant. Yes, brilliant. We can go around in circles forever; with more and more retorts; all summing up to the same basic argument; pointing to the same type of facts; demonstrating: Intelligent and Unintelligent design.

The real question remains: “Does one believe in God because one believes in God?”

How To Shave From $50 Billion to $200 Billion Off The Deficit!

Sounds like a tall order. Fantasy, make believe. Not at all. Most suggestions to reduce the deficit discuss eliminating an entitlement—just one, that appears somewhere between unnecessary and ridiculous. The amount saved usually is several million dollars. But, one billion dollars is only 1/10^th of 1% of a trillion dollar deficit. A savings of a million dollars barely dents the national deficit. But, $100 Billion dollars! Now, you’re talking! 10% of the deficit! That’s a real reduction! $200 Billion dollars in entitlements is 20% of the budget! What entitlement could be costing the U.S. taxpayers over 20% of the national deficit? Why single mothers of course.

Let’s do the math.

All these calculations are based on official government reports. You know, Census Bureau, CDC, etc.

Almost every State in the Union is taking funding from the monstrous Mondale Act. (Perhaps Minnesota & Wisconsin don’t.) That’s the Congressional Act that in effect, slanderously labels all men as child molesters & wife beaters. The monstrous Mondale Act basically slanders all men as violent sex perverts. The monstrous Mondale Act provides for federal funding & matching funding for the new invention of Family Courts, Supervised Visitation, so-called Child Support Enforcement and more. Family Courts did not exist before 1960 and would not have come into being without the funding of the Mondale Act. (I’ll explain why it is so-called child support and not child support momentarily.)

Mind you, federal reimbursements for the collection of alleged child support, is not reportable. That means it does not have to appear on State budgets and is otherwise invisible to the taxpayer. Due diligence is required to dig up the data.

Well Washington State gets $98 Million in reimbursements (1990s figure. No reason to suspect an entitlement has been reduced! Ever heard of that?). Can we round up to $100 Million for easy math?

50 (States) x $100 Million (Per State) = $5 Billion

New York State gets over $5 Billion in reimbursements. ($5.4 in the 1990s.)

50 (States) x $5 Billion (Per State) = $250 Billion

To be fair, let’s take the average of the highest and lowest ($5.4 Billion + $98 Million).

$5,400 Million + $98 Million = $5,498 Million

$5.498 Billion / 2 = $2.749 Billion

Shall we round it to $2.7 Billion per State?

Therefore: 50 States x $2.7 Billion = $135 Billion

Now, did you know, that for every dollar in so called child support collected, that over $5- in reimbursements is paid by the federal government to the State? (A 1990s figure. It must be more by now.)

As to the single mothers involved, let us not say that we should starve them to death or discontinue any of their entitlements. God forbid we should ask them to get a job! Let’s just say, that in New York State, as stated in official government reports:

1. The court orders – so-called child support orders – are regularly assessed 66% of the time at 2/3^rd more than the salary of the man – without any proof or explanation of any kind.
2. The court orders – so-called child support orders – are regularly assessed 66% of the time without any record of the woman’s assets or job – in contradiction to the law.
3. That the New York State Dept. of Child Support Enforcement fails 40% of the audits that the federal Office of Child Support Enforcement makes. That is a consistent, yearly audit failure rate of 40%

Yet, the State of New York, always gets their entitlements.

No government official in New York State, or any other State, has ever gone to jail for fraud or misappropriation of federal funds!

Why don’t you try being 40% off on your deductions with IRS for even 1 income tax return!

This does not take into account the Medicaid Fraud, Welfare Fraud, etc. of the women and the State. Food stamps, WIC…

Add that to the $135 Billion savings in misappropriated federal funds.

For example, men are ordered to have health insurance for their children. But, it is never used and the mothers use Medicaid instead. Do you wonder who is committing the upwards of $5 Billion in Medicaid Fraud in New York State?

Add that to the $135 Billion savings in misappropriated federal funds.

Then, there are fees for the courts, the judges, the lawyers for the children, the supervised visitation. All paid for by federal funds.

Add that to the $135 Billion savings in misappropriated federal funds.

The American Bar Association itself claims that 80% of these cases are unsubstantiated. Official New York State government reports use a statistic of 98%; 95% in a good year. Let’s be conservative. 80% of the reimbursements for the courts, judges, lawyers, psychologists are simply a waste of money. You know what a lawyer costs?

Add that to the $135 Billion savings in misappropriated federal funds.

Did you know, that the law in New York State is, that all things being equal, custody of children should be awarded to the parent more able to support the child. Makes sense. Yet, with all this money in federal handouts, do you wonder why only 4% of the men get custody in New York State. -- That 4% is rounded up. (The State of Hawaii has the highest paternal custody award rate in the country. But, that’s only 15%.)

With all this money in federal handouts and clear misadjudication, jacking up assessments by 2/3^rd without any evidence what-so-ever; that New York State Family Court judges—IN VIOLATION OF THE FEDERAL LAW—refuse to participate in mandatory accounting assessments?!

If I were writing a book, I would go into the long list of crimes being committed by the judges, courts and politicians. If I were writing a book, I would rehash what the promotion of single motherhood does to society and its children. It is a fact, that crime, especially violent crime, has risen sharply, in direct proportion to the increase in use of and power of the Family Courts and the whole anti-family, anti-man, anti-father apparatus that goes along with it. It is also a fact, that the perpetrators have been becoming younger and younger—even to preteen!

I assume the reader knows enough to understand that there is corruption and graft turning our children into criminals. The depth & the breadth of it, is unknown to the reader. That is only known to those who have been behind the closed doors of family court. That is the real reason family court is a closed door courtroom. But, the existence and immorality of the family court apparatus is known to the reader.

There is no greater treason, than to destroy the very fabric of society upon which a country is based.

The family courts, the monstrous Mondale Act—however well intentioned; are destroying our society. We see it with our own eyes.

We also can see that many of the judges, social workers, psychologists and lawyers of the Family Court system are anything but well intentioned.

Child abuse is a terrible thing. Family court is not the solution. Family Court is so bad that it must be abolished. Throw these charges into criminal court.

I just come to repeat the words of a long standing, old time, Father’s Rights Activist, James L. Wilks. “That this is America. The only way to stop this corruption and destruction of the family, is to take the money out of it.” We have a tremendous opportunity at this time, to reduce our deficit; save our society and prevent terrible injustices of inhumane and corrupt courts. Cut an entitlement that counts!
