Now you have a trillion balls on an endless table and and a player of infinite skill.
Which leads to the obvious question, could God set up a shot so tricky even he could not make it?

Beautiful summation, short and to the point......Now you have a trillion balls on an endless table and and a player of infinite skill. The motion of the balls is entirely within the physical constraints of the materials and forces at play and yet when the balls all come to a rest, who's to say they are not exactly where the player intended?

Some people see the mechanics of the motions and say "it all works so no prior intelligence is needed". Some people see the motion of the mechanics and say "there is intent here so there must be intelligence in the intention". And the interpretation I supposed comes down to your metaphysical or romantic leanings
I don't know about the universe, but I do know that your pool table, balls and cue sticks have a creator.Look at a single shot in pool. Past the initial point if contact, or even within it, nothing in the system gives evidence of an intelligent force behind the trajectories of the balls, and yet the balls go where the player intends. The process is entirely natural and mechanical, but the intent of the process is not.

The problem with the ID crowd is that they keep looking for the places where God nudges the balls, tilts the table... has to cheat.

But the progression is a basic paradox of omnipotence. Either way there is something he "cannot" do.

I dunno...I could build a house that I couldn't lift. Where's the logical impossibility? I disagree with that analysis, FeearlessFreep.
