If you are going to reduce the thread to personal insults then you likely have nothing more to add. However no there does not need to be a system to organise anything, just the simple rules of nature. Just like bubbles are always round because that is the most energy efficient shape for them to be.

If you have anything that is reproduced again and again, almost perfectly, and there is some reason why some reproductions are more successful than others, then that is all you need. No other "system" is required.

We have and do. That's why we're atheists.

I didt start it ... here is my prove :

Why are you not just ignoring his/her posts if you 'can't' understand them rather than suggest he doesn't post?
This too :

Another contradiction !!!
No system but rules !!!
Rules creat the system & make it function my friend
Law is a system of rules and guidelines .

Rules of energy creat that system .. as i told you ... everything is well organized .

There you said it " No other "system" so you admit that there is a system but no other required .
Thank you

There is no lie here. My comments were about actual things users have done. Such as lying... using bad english.... and passing off the work of others as their own (plagarism). These are FACTS not insults and the facts happen to be true in all the cases you quoted me and I can show evidence for them all.

However using a school yard comment like "Try to use your brain from time to time for a change" is not a fact. It is a pointless insult... massively different from pointing out facts. It adds nothing to the converation, it is not a fact or truth statement. Learn this rule in life, as it is a good one: Insults demean ONLY the insulter NEVER the target and you let no one down but yourself in a comment like that.

This forum is better than that, raise your game to match.

There is no contradiction, just your understanding of English. The word "rule" is convenient, but it does not impart the meaning you want it to in this context. If it makes it easier for you to understand then delete the word "rules" and simply say "the facts of how the universe operates".

Imagine for example water falling into a hole and making a puddle. The puddle is the shape it is BECAUSE of the shape the hole is. There is no rules, no system, no design... the puddle simply has to be that way because that is how the hole forms it.

Similarly there is no requirement for rules or a system in order to obtain order from chaos... the universe (like the hole) is merely the way it is and the matter (like the water) is constrained by that in how it can act. We evolve out of that, but we should be no more surprised by that, than a puddle should be surprised it is the same shape as the hole it is in.

I would imagine there is also some type of "rule" that keeps the water in it's current form as its falling to the ground. Some "rules" of temperature and altitute can change it to ice.

The "Watchmaker" argument is useless as proof for a creator of the universe. We know that the watch has to have a creator, a house has to have a builder and a painting has to have an artist. We know it because we know that paintings, watches and houses do not occur naturally....thus, they must have been created by someone. This is not the case with the universe.

I know .. and since a little tiny poor thing like a watch must have been made by someone .. then what do we say about the whole universe ??!!!!
I will tell you ... not someone or something .. this is huge so it must be made by someone with a power beyond any imagination called as God
