Is there evidence for God?
Is there evidence for an intelligent designer?
PART A: EMPIRICAL LOGICAL EVIDENCE
1. The more intricate and complex something is, the more likely it is to be the product of an intelligent design and the less likely it is to the product of spontaneously assembly.
Example: Landing on another planet and finding a rock that looks like a skull would be less likely to be the product of intelligent design than if a spaceship or computer was discovered.
2. Super ridiculously insanely complex stuff exists, therefore it is very reasonably probable that it was the result of intelligent design.
Example: just to model the most simple life form requires 128 computers:

3. The idea that life could exist through a series of extremely improbable random events combined with evolution actually increases the argument for intelligent design because if evolution is part of the process of life, then life is even more insanely intricately complex because a design that has the capacity to evolve could be calculated to be a significantly more complex feature of that design. This increases its complexity and intricacy and therefore increases the probability of it being the product of intelligent design as opposed to the product of spontaneous assembly.
Example analogy: Discovering a bunch of statues on another planet would be more probable than if a statue was discovered which was so complex that it had the capacity to make other statues. The attribute of evolution therefore increases the complex of life—not the opposite.
4. Alright, so since life exists, we, as humans have allegorically landed on another planet and discovered a statue that makes other statues (aka life exists). But is there any other evidence for the existence of an intelligent designer besides the existence of an intelligent design? Has anyone ever claimed to have interacted with the intelligent designer in any way?
PART B: WITNESS EVIDENCE
1. So has anyone ever claimed to have interacted with the intelligent designer? Yes. Way too many times to count. The claims of individuals interacting with the intelligent designer extend back through all of recorded history and they come from every continent and every culture and are communicated in every language. There is estimated to be over 5 billion copies of the bible and over 800 million copies of the Quran. People have claimed to have experienced “near death” experiences in which they see God.
2. So... yes, there is a ton of evidence besides just the existence of an intelligent design. But what about all of the different things that people believe? What about all of the contradicting beliefs? What about all of the corruption in religion?
It is possible that ALL of the witnesses and near death experiences are the result of:
1). Liars
or
2). Mental derangement
OR it is possible that the many differences in accounts is the consequence of human error such as: speculation, traditions, culture, language barriers, fallible theories, retelling effect, memory failures-- and also some inputs from liars and mental derangement.
Either way, The evidence is there and the witnesses are there. The errors do not and cannot eliminate their existence.
