The Wrath of the Intelligent Designer

[Malignd]

<<our own universal laws indicate as much:  something
cannot originate from nothing, energy can only be
transformed.  so there has to have been something
prior to our universe.  our universe is also only one
version of a theoretically infinite type.  so
rationally i think one has to posit an inconceivable
force as the source of being.>>

So there is a big bang and (start the clock) all that
follows.  And, perhaps, you're saying that there's
something that precedes the big bang (can something
precede time?) and on toward infinite regress.  I
don't see in this anything that demands design. 

<<and beyond that, any supposed relationship to that
force, much less a name for it, is obscene.>>

It's too ludicrous to be obscene.  However, the
historical manifestation of belief in that
relationship (i.e., religion) has in all ages been
obscene, murderous, corrupt, and ignorant, often as
not.
