rth in this sense, it is a machine by definition.Premise number two says, "Machines do not appear by chance, but are intelligentlydesigned." With this in mind remember we said the Earth is like a machine, so if machinedon't appear by chance someone must have created the Earth. Who could have done this?If we stop and think about what we have learned as kids, that the Earth was created byGod. Is that really so hard to believe? Is it easier to believe in chance? Look how well theenvironment works together. Everything depended on eachother, just like parts in amachine. Everything fits together. Don't get me wrong, I'm not saying the World isperfect, not even machines are perfect. They all have glitches. All I'm saying is that thingswork too well to be just by chance. Does a 747 get assembled by all the materials justbeing there? It requires designers and builder. Without these designers and builder youcould leave those materials there for billions of years and you still wouldn't have a 747built. So if the Earth is more complex, than a 747, then how can we say it just made itself?I consider myself to be a pretty open minded person, so I can see where peoplewho say that the world is not a machine, are coming from. You say the world isn't like amachine. The world may not be like a machine, but try and come up with another example.A machine is a pretty good example, but I see that you could say a machine doesn't grow.Things on the Earth, that are natural, grow. They change size and looks. Machines can'tgain mass or grow, for they aren't human. Some people take the phrase, the world is like amachine, too literally. They get offended because the feel like we are more complex then amachine and that humans are better than machines. I thinks if they were to take the sayingas an example or look at the similarities, then they would not be offended. Anotherargument would be that having parts doesn't make you a machine. Again I feel that theexample is t...
