Say no to divine teleology!

    Thales of Miletus ,before Aristotle and Strato of Lampsacus, his student, both advocate mechanism in science as opposed to his teleology. They proved to be quite right and he, whatever his contributions to naturalism, held back science with his teleology -intent.
    Here we can examine how teleonomy-causalism-mechanism bring forth that more abundant life that teleology has nothing to do with.
    The Coyne-Mayer-Lamberth teleonomic argument notes that as science finds no divine intent behind any natural phenomena, then perforce God lacks intent in Nature and thus cannot be Himself and thus lacks referents as Creator and so forth and thus cannot exist, and besides, His contradictory,incoherent attributes make Him non-existent!
   People see intent and design as people see other pareidolias instead of mechanism and patterns.From that ,Lamberth's reduced animism argument notes that then theism is just reduced animism as it reifies non-intent as intent as much as full animism and polytheism do with their many spirits or gods, and therefore is superstitious!
