The problem with this conjecture is that even as the Churches try to keep orthodoxy, the varieties of Abrahamic faiths keep schism-ing into different faiths exponentially due to incompatible doctrines, which is on par with what we would expect with opinion not based on evidence; compare that against natural philosophy.
- dctoedt 9y agoI don't think it's a problem with the Creator conjecture itself, but with the theological encrustations, lacking anything resembling real-world evidentiary support, that people keep attaching to that conjecture. Example: Compare the elaborate theology, christology, and soteriology of the Apostle's Creed and the Nicene Creed, on the one hand, against the pretty-simple statements attributed in the Synoptic Gospels to Y'shua of Nazareth, a.k.a. Jesus. (I discount heavily the statements attributed to him in the Fourth Gospel [0].)
