I have noticed for a long time that proponents of ID seem to fall in a very particular theological circle. They cannot understand religious beliefs outside of their own, nor can they attempt to understand the rational behind such a belief.
Miller's God and Avo's God are basically the same.
Avo, you believe that your God created you.
Miller believes that his God created him too.
The difference is that Miller's God created him in a somewhat indirect fashion. Do not misunderstand the usage of the word "indirect" here. Miller believes that his God used a tool to create him, while Avo believes that God acted directly.
Miller believes that his God is omnipotent(all powerful) and omniscient(all knowing). One major advantage of being omnipotent and omniscent is that you can make incredible shots in pool. Miller's God didnt have to go pick up the 9 ball and drop it in the corner pocket.....Miller's God made an incredibly complex shot that seemed almost impossible.
They are both the same God, Miller just recognizes that with His omnipotence and omniscience...God could have been far more elaborate with his creation.
If you think that it is silly to believe that God would go to all of this trouble....then why did he create all of the stars?
We know that life does not exist around most stars, and that from our perspective they are just points of light. God didnt just create points of light....he created a massive, complex, and grandiose Universe. If you ask me....He likes to show off....
