Logic has absolutely nothing to do with fact. If I were to say that “the moon were made of cheese, and mice live on the moon. Thus craters on the
moon are from mice eating the cheese.” That is a sound logical argument.
No it isn't. A logical argument is when it's based on some kind of evidence to make the point. Eg, "the moon were made of cheese" well that's
not logical because the moon isn't made cheese. It's logical if it makes sense. When something makes sense it's because of the amount of
information me know about it so we can understand it and determine whether it's true or not.
Because we know the moon isn't made of cheese because of how much we know about the moon, it isn't logical to say the moon is made of cheese. This
is like grade school stuff man. And so to finish up, mice don't live on the moon, to say mice do isn't logical and of course craters on the moon are
not from mice eating cheese because the moon isn't made of cheese and there are no mice living on the moon. So, that is obviously not a sound logical
argument. It's actually one of the most illogical examples of a logical argument i've ever heard.
All logic means is A+B thus C is a probable outcome. So my argument being what it is, having the existence of an intelligent designer is a
perfectly logical outcome of my proposal.).
No, because in you're example A (The moon is made of cheese) + B (mice live on the moon) is not probable. You can't say two things that aren't
logical, that aren't true, as logical and as true. It is like me saying the earth is made of ice-cream and ice-cream creatures live in the earth.
Because that's not true, it's not logical. There's no reason for that to make any logical sense. It's not probable in any way.

Logic is the art and science of reasoning which seeks to identify and understand the principles of demonstration and
inference.
mice and cheese on the moon is not reasonable.
I also never stated that there was a purpose; my statement never lets on to the nature of this being.
You impose their is purpose when you say the universe is intelligently designed. ID implies purpose. If god created the universe he would have to of
had a reason of some sort for doing it. And again, if god created humanity intentionally - giving us rules and laws to abide by, then he created us
for a purpose. ID implies purpose.
So as i said before, "for you to say their is a designer you're saying their is purpose. But you aren't able to say what that purpose is because
you've already said we can't understand what purpose god gave us because he's above our understanding. You can't pove ID is true because you
can't prove god is real because he's above our understanding. "
For all you know based on my proposal the intelligent designer is a child playing with clay. Any purpose or understanding about this being are
speculation only.
Yes that's true, what the purpose is, isn't relevant. But you're still implying purpose by design, because saying something is designed means god
chose to create, he willed it for some reason. God could not be a child playing with clay because the universe isn't made up of clay. You can't say
god is a kid because you haven't provided evidence or even reasoning for why he is a kid. How do you know god's a kid if you can't even define what
god is in the first place.
Lastly; to say that we need to understand what this being is composed of for it to be scientifically accepted is preposterous beyond
imagination. The only evidence we have of dark matter is in seeing how it affects space time.
EXACTLY! "seeing how it affects space time" There are no affects of god that are scientifically measurable. The evidence for dark matter is the
effect. So there is evidence. And there are no affects of god that are scientifically measurable because you don't even know what god is in the first
place, so you can't search for its affect if you don't even know what you're looking for.
We do not understand its composition or purpose, but accept its reality based on evidence.
And the difference between dark matter and god is the evidence. You can't say god exists without the evidence.
Nor do we completely understand quark-gluon plasma, but without it the big bang would not have been possible. So we accept it as a scientific
reality.
We accept it as a reality because of the scientific evidence. God can not be accepted as a reality without scientific evidence. So.....we both know
there is no scientific evidence for god and we both know something requires scientific evidence for it to be accepted as scientifically plausible. So,
why then did you say that you "are sure that (you) can prove the existence of an Intelligent designer." when you know there's no scientific
evidence for one?
lets not forget about photons. the only evidence of them is based on observation and reaction.
Yep and guess what, that's still evidence. Photons 1 god 0......
