Richard Feynman: Why it is logically IMPOSSIBLE for God to exist

What I found most interesting about Feynman’s analysis is pointing out the logical fallacy of the watchmaker reasoning. If the universe is so complex as to require a creator, then that creator would have to be more complex than the thing created and would itself require a creator by that same logic. He goes well beyond that one analysis and the entire thing is interesting from start to finish.

There are so many different versions of "god" that the term very nearly is meaningless.

The Creator works for me. It's way easier to believe in a creator god than a random, chaotic Universe. Yhe intricacies of a mere ant is too perfect to assign to happenstance.
