‘Based on what I know to be designed…Gee, it sure looks designed to me’.
You can actually visit the automakers design department for yourself to see them actually designing. If you did you would doubt they are designing? You recognize design because it was cognized.

What we have here is a clash of worldviews. And a bias that is obviously false.

“Biology is the study of complex things that appear to have been designed for a purpose.”

Again, simply a claim based on incredulity: ‘Gee, it sure looks designed to me’. Trust me, that does not count as science.

As Ed has conveniently quoted:

‘Biology is the study of complex things that appear to have been designed for a purpose.’

You would do well to bear that in mind.

You will get the same back and forth. Plants and animals weren’t designed, they just look like they were. Give me a break.

The reason its looks that way Ed is because all the plants and animals that weren’t suitable for the place you’re looking at are dead or living somewhere else.

Natural selection got 'em.

Were plants and animals designed?
If and only if the designer was also designed.

ID’s proposed designer is more complex than a simple moss. If a simple moss is complex enough to require design then the intelligent designer is also complex enough to require design. Intelligence is more complex than a simple plant.

God is the only unconditioned reality. Everything else is conditioned.
 
Maybe we shouldn’t go into MRI machines anymore… (just an off topic thought)
It’s not that off topic because it relates back to what has been created, and what I see as a misplaced emphasis on the material.

I argue that what was created over six of God’s workdays, were successive forms of being, that emerged as a hierarchy, where the information, the forms that had previously been created were utilized in the creation of that which was above them. We shouldn’t go into MRI’s if what binds us together as one person are electromagnetic forces. However, it is our spirit that organizes those entities of which we are constructed, into a whole that is me, and you as another one, and that guy over there. A self-other relational entity, possessing a psychophysical structure. We exist as one being in ourselves, capable of knowing what is other to our selves and of free will, which together allow us the capacity to love or not.

I could go on and on, but I think I’ll stop before I scare potential readers away with a typical wall of words.

And this is where the problem lies.

Science versus a Creator who actually did things. Oh well.

That is theology, not science. ID has made it clear that their proposed designed does not have to be God, see David Berlinski for an ID proponent who does not think the God is the designer.

You’ve seen the number of people who post here, Al. Suffice to say that your wariness is a little late.

Why the capital C? Buffalo is adamant that design does not indicate who the designer was. Put the cat back in the bag. It belongs in a theological discussion.

ID, the science does not. ID, the philosophy does. Rossum keeps pushing this line.

They were not deigning in your visit to the auto plant?
Again, you are doing nothing but confirming what I have said. I can include the example of a car if you like.

‘A car is designed, so gee, a flower must be as well’.

You aren’t saying anything more profound than that.

So ID says we have no idea who the designer is at the same time as saying that it is God? I think you’ll find that others have come to that realisation. Hence your loss at the Dover trial.

You are purposely missing the point.
You mentioned a car plant. Cars are designed and look designed. You say that organisms look designed and therefore they are designed.

Can you spot the logical error there? And please clarify the point you were making if it was not the one described. I’ll be here for a while.
