I'm curious why you're so sure there isn't a designer.


One can never be sure, but from all the evidence it looks like that if there was a designer, they weren't operating at this level, so the parents point is unaffected by this concern.


I'm unsure, the only contradictory point to my proposition was that there was no designer.

"in biology nothing is private or even in a class because in biology there is no designer, so there is no need for encapsulation."

How can the point be unaffected if you are rightly saying the point is in question?

Are we on the same level as the implementation when we write our classes?


are we talking god or like ancient aliens prometheus engineers here

I don't believe in god because I don't believe in anything magical or spiritual, for reasons too trivial to list here and I don't see the slightest hint of any design in any biological systems


If you asked someone two centuries ago they would tell you that you believed in magic.

How do you know reality isn't a simulation?


I don't know if reality is a simulation or not, however there's no clear way to prove it or not so in the absence of any evidence I'm not inclined to believe it, this is my approach to everything. Extraordinary claims require extraordinary evidence and I don't tend to assume that improbable things are true if the world works just fine without them.

I'm not sure why someone 200 years ago would accuse me of being superstitious.
