statistical probability of the evolution of new species
Same old argument. Even a very small possibility is not the same thing as impossible, especially if there is a random element in the system. You can’t go from arguing the improbability of an event to arguing that it did not happen, otherwise most of the things that happened in the universe didn’t happen.

ID is more probable than RM and is the better explanation. Time to give it up. Science itself is showing the way.

ID either makes the existence of complexity certain or even more improbable depending on whether or not the designer itself emerged from natural processes or is a non-physical eternal being. If it’s the latter, then design can be used to explain any state of complexity and any degree of physical probability rendering the concept of a natural event meaningless. But scientists are never going to agree that natural events don’t exist, so scientifically ID is worthless as an explanation for the simple fact that it can be used to explain anything. There is no point in doing science if they let ID have a foot in the door. In effect ID explains nothing at all since it’s nothing more than a magic wand in the disguise of a working hypothesis. .

I can think of irrefutable reasons for thinking there is a God, but ID is not a good scientific theory.

No it is not. How probable is your designer? If there is no designer then there is no ID. The Designer must be at least as complex as all the DNA it has designed. Given that more then one species is designed, then the Designer is more complex than any individual species.

Any living organism today has parents, so the bulk of its DNA is inherited, and that DNA works well enough to produce offspring. Any calculation that starts with random DNA is not reflecting evolution, because it ignores the working DNA inherited from parents.

If, and only if, the ID designer has parents, then a variant of this argument can be applied to the Designer as well.

But you told me to sudy the archetype. That would be…evidence? I’ve asked you how we do this. How far back do we have to go to find it? 6,000 years. C’mon, you’ve told us what we need to do. Now tell us how we do it.
Still missed it…
So if we have no evidence…then what are we to study?
C’mon, Buff. You’ve had ten days to think of an answer.
 
There should be no conflict, the apparent conflict stems from misunderstanding of faith, science, or both.
 
Christianity is usually supported by science in the conflicts with the Leftist media agenda. For example, science proves that life begins at conception, and that men and women are different.

Can you give me a link to any leftist media that says that life doesn’t begin at conception and that men and women are exactly the same?
