Full thing here too lazy to copy paste again it's 40 thousand something characters below is part of it >>>/x/40515573
Eleventh, naturalism would seem to predict the world would involve a Darwinian struggle for survival. Few organisms would survive for very long. The creatures that do exist would be constantly struggling to survive. Naturalism predicts the blind Darwinian mechanism as being the only way to produce life. Theism makes the odds of such a mechanism low. Once again, naturalism’s prediction has been confirmed.
Evolution itself is quite surprising on theism. Designers do not build bridges by throwing together random slop until a few of them happen to get bridges. Evolution is filled with pointless suffering. Why would a God allow it?
Twelfth, if God made the world, why would it be mostly barren and desolate? God could make life on every planet. Life is a good thing. So why—prey tell—would he make a world with almost no life? Why would he wait billions of years before any life began? Surely doing so is just passing up on lots of potential extra value!
Thirteenth, naturalism predicts a random world where conditions would vary locally. It’s no surprise that people have very different experiences in different cultures. But if God is real and sets up the world in ways ideal for our flourishing, what are the odds that, say, the ideal flourishing conditions for those in ancient China would differ dramatically from those of people in the modern day?
