So thinking that the Mona Lisa painting is "purposeful design" is pure speculation?

And I already tried explaining to you that it couldn't have.

Revinh

But.. the mona lisa doesn't abide by the rules of evolution.. so why would we think it was naturally created? That's the dumbest argument against evolution that you can possibly come up with.

Because living things don't abide by "the rules of evolution" either. All that happens is replication. Humans always reproduce humans with slight modification with descent. But they still reproduce humans and they were never anything else. Bees produce bees. Oak trees remain oak trees generations after generations. Humans reproduce humans forever and ever and ever...

Right.. except living things do abide by the rules of evolution. Slight modifications are what lead to speciation by the way. ;)

not only do they abide by the rules of evolution that way, but they also abide by it in another and that is fitting neatly into the nested hierarchy of classification

God made mankind. Mistake number one. :lol:

I didn't say that, anyway how was that a mistake? And extinction has natural causes.

Because we constantly sin.

only because of the original sin. all humans inherited imperfection.

[QUOTE="SolidSnake35"][QUOTE="Revinh"]It IS pure story telling. Its evidences are overwhelmingly pathetic.notconspiracy

Yet having faith in God is fine?

Of course. There's overwhelming evidence of his works everywhere. The earth is full of his production.

And you've seen him produce this, just as you demand to see abiogenesis at work?

I don't have to have seen it. Purposeful design is evident in them and that requires a Designer.

you have provided not a shred of evidence for design. all you have said is really along the lines of this: "wow, that *insert system/object* here* sure is pretty damn complex! it must have been designed!!"

The earth shows purposeful design, plants and animals with their unique features and abilities shows intelligent design. your bodily system shows design (skeletal, muscular, nervous,..) shows design. It's evident everywhere..

how?

Now that's personal incredulity.

That's like asking how does an HDTV show purposeful design??

simple. because HDTVs are not made of chemicals that can replicate themselves.

second, you have not provided a SINGLE piece of tangible evidence for design.

Yeah, but excluding the replication difference, you're still "how" essentially the same way.

wow. seriously, explain how Im essentially the same way? take for example my hand with 5 digits. why do I have 5 fingers? simple. because Im a mammal, and all mammals share a common ancestor that gave birth via a placenta, and had 5 digits on each of its 4 limbs. I can actually point to ancient fossils of the first mammals and give you evidence for the common ancestry between mammals.

you on the other hand will look at a 5 digit hand and say it must have been designed without any real, tangible evidence for this conclusion

5 digits isn't really a strong example of design. Think about the digestive system, immune, the various organs performing incredible tasks.

Robosapien is designed. Now disregarding the fact that humans reproduce, doesn't the human body show design?

By the way, if I'm not mistaken bats and whales (which don't have fingers and limbs) are mammals.

All you've given me is links to your other threads and links to scientists using reverse engineering on modern day animals, as if that somehow is proof of Intelligent Design.

Your 'complex, functional machines show purposeful design' is nonsensical as animals are not machines. You know this and are making inane comparisons.
Complex, functional organisms show efficient adaptation. Nowhere in there is there design. Even then, it is just an inference. An inference is not evidence.

Have you even watched these videos? I don't think you have, because yourself and 123625 keep saying the same incorrect things, which would then just mean you're being ignorant.

What's your next piece of evidence?Red-XIII

Yeah, animals can adapt. But how could an animal, spiders, frogs, an apple tree, a human, been anything else? I find it hard to believe that a series of adaptation created them. It makes more sense that they were intelligently designed and created and can adapt and can have variations.

no, argument from what makes sense

second, their being eucaryotes don't mean there was a eucaryotic ancestor. It's just cIassification. common ancestor/descent comes in because your personal overwillingness to believe.

This is a good video regarding abiogenesis. http://youtube.com/watch?v=ozbFerzjkz4 While Abiogenesis is not a theory with as much evidence as say Evolution, it is the only scientific explanation for the origin of life.

Yeah, animals can adapt. But how could an animal, spiders, frogs, an apple tree, a human, been anything else? I find it hard to believe that a series of adaptation created them. It makes more sense that they were intelligently designed and created and can adapt and can have variations.

argument from personal incredulity.

second, why are all animals, spiders, frogs, trees and humans, why are they all eucaryotes?

no, argument from what makes sense

second, their being eucaryotes don't mean there was a eucaryotic ancestor. It's just cIassification. common ancestor/descent comes in comes in because your personal overwillingness to believe.

there is no other scientifically valid explanation for them being eucaryotes other than a eucaryotic ancestor.

tell me, why are all mammals, mammalian? why are mammals the only animals with unique mammalian features?

Because they're mammals. Simply just that.

but why are features that are found only in mammals not found in anything else? why dont amphibians or reptiles have mammary glands or hair? hair is a good insulation. if there are features not unique to mammals, then why do all other descendants of the common ancestor between birds and mammals have them?

[QUOTE="Red-XIII"]All you've given me is links to your other threads and links to scientists using reverse engineering on modern day animals, as if that somehow is proof of Intelligent Design.

Your 'complex, functional machines show purposeful design' is nonsensical as animals are not machines. You know this and are making inane comparisons.
Complex, functional organisms show efficient adaptation. Nowhere in there is there design. Even then, it is just an inference. An inference is not evidence.

Have you even watched these videos? I don't think you have, because yourself and 123625 keep saying the same incorrect things, which would then just mean you're being ignorant.

The combination of abiogenesis, natural selection and the theory of evolution all explain how they all could have been something else.

How is it hard to believe adaptations create them? An animal adapts, it reproduces, passes on the genes, its offspring adapt, reproduce, pass on their genes. It's constantly happening.

If we were intelligently designed and the fossil records are false, then every few million years God must have wiped out thousands of animals and replaced them all with different ones out of thin air, fully formed. How does that make sense?

Abiogenesis could easily have come about from the massive amount of UV rays and heat in the early Earth. Buy a biology book, I recommend Cambells biology sixth edition, it has a pretty good explanation

Of course. There's overwhelming evidence of his works everywhere. The earth is full of his production.

And you've seen him produce this, just as you demand to see abiogenesis at work?

I don't have to have seen it. Purposeful design is evident in them and that requires a Designer.

you have provided not a shred of evidence for design. all you have said is really along the lines of this: "wow, that *insert system/object* here* sure is pretty damn complex! it must have been designed!!"

The earth shows purposeful design, plants and animals with their unique features and abilities shows intelligent design. your bodily system shows design (skeletal, muscular, nervous,..) shows design. It's evident everywhere..

how?

Now that's personal incredulity.

That's like asking how does an HDTV show purposeful design??

simple. because HDTVs are not made of chemicals that can replicate themselves.

second, you have not provided a SINGLE piece of tangible evidence for design.

Yeah, but excluding the replication difference, you're still "how" essentially the same way.

wow. seriously, explain how Im essentially the same way? take for example my hand with 5 digits. why do I have 5 fingers? simple. because Im a mammal, and all mammals share a common ancestor that gave birth via a placenta, and had 5 digits on each of its 4 limbs. I can actually point to ancient fossils of the first mammals and give you evidence for the common ancestry between mammals.

you on the other hand will look at a 5 digit hand and say it must have been designed without any real, tangible evidence for this conclusion

5 digits isn't really a strong example of design. Think about the digestive system, immune, the various organs performing incredible tasks.

Robosapien is designed. Now disregarding the fact that humans reproduce, doesn't the human body show design?

By the way, if I'm not mistaken bats and whales (which don't have fingers) are mammals.

im not aware of any evidence for design.

oh, and they still have digits

No offense, but that just seems senseless of you.

care to provide a piece of tangible evidence for design?

lol...there's no use in me explaining to you and giving examples of design...

so, do you have any tangible evidence for design?

It's out of dust, not thin air.

The fossil record shows exactly that. Sudden appearances of fully formed creatures* with no connection to ones that previously came. And rare fossilization isn't a valid excuse because there should still be plenty of "transitional forms" if they really did exist but the majority of the record shows that*. The ones presented by evolutionists are just desperate attempts to make them fit the theory.

And extinction has natural causes, it doesn't necessarily mean he wiped them out.

Oh, so believing God made life out of inanimate matter is ok, but scientists showing how the origin of life formed from inanimate matter through the laws of chemistry is hogwash? Another double standard.

The fossil record is extremely diverse. If you bothered to watch the video on Evolution Made Easy then you'd see that there is no such thing as a transitional form. Scientists don't make up the animals in the complex evolutionary trees. Each one of those different species is from a fossil. I don't see how it is a 'desperate attempt' when it is well documented and well supported.

Because Evolution is a gradual change within each generation, there is no defining point when one animal becomes another. Each animal is a transition of the one that came before it in to the one that comes after it.
Just like you don't see yourself changing when you look at yourself in the mirror every day.

Now if you haven't seen the video, I suggest you do. At least it would help you understand the argument here.

Explain why modern whales have vestige hind legs and humans have an appendix. Those are signs of transition.

Also, evolution is not a smooth process. It is a long series of trial and error where only traits that improve reproductive potential (number of offspring, survivability, etc...) are selected for.

Of course it's ok. It's just logical that the intricate cell was consciously formed. And it's logical that a living God breadth life into the form and gave it life since life only comes from preexisting life and not nonliving matter came to life.

So how do you explain the Permian Mass Extinction where it's estimated 95% of life on Earth perished? How did life come about and diversify then-after, and why do organisms now share unique common characters from those that did make it through that period?

[QUOTE="DeeJayInphinity"][QUOTE="Revinh"]

So thinking that the Mona Lisa painting is "purposeful design" is pure speculation?

And I already tried explaining to you that it couldn't have.

Revinh

But.. the mona lisa doesn't abide by the rules of evolution.. so why would we think it was naturally created? That's the dumbest argument against evolution that you can possibly come up with.

Because living things don't abide by "the rules of evolution" either. All that happens is replication. Humans always reproduce humans with slight modification with descent. But they still reproduce humans and they were never anything else. Bees produce bees. Oak trees remain oak trees generations after generations. Humans reproduce humans forever and ever and ever...

I think you have some misunderstandings about how evolution works, that slight modification with each generation is what ultamately yields a new species.

I just see this as you thinking;

You haven't presented anything.

Parhaps that's why. Notably this is exactly why creationists are not taken seriously, they don't present any evidence while simultaneously choosing to disregard science for something which has no evidence. In the end one side presents evidence, while creationists arguments just account forlittle more than whining.

Doesn't mean it's not vestigile.

Right, the appendix is intended for digesting complex carbohydrates like cellulose. However, it's role has been limited as our diets changed.

[QUOTE="Red-XIII"]If we were intelligently designed and the fossil records are false, then every few million years God must have wiped out thousands of animals and replaced them all with different ones out of thin air, fully formed. How does that make sense?C_Town_Soul

It's out of dust, not thin air.

The fossil record shows exactly that. Sudden appearances of fully formed creatures* with no connection to ones that previously came. And rare fossilization isn't a valid excuse because there should still be plenty of "transitional forms" if they really did exist but the majority of the record shows that*. The ones presented by evolutionists are just desperate attempts to make them fit the theory.

And extinction has natural causes, it doesn't necessarily mean he wiped them out.

So how do you explain the Permian Mass Extinction where it's estimated 95% of life on Earth perished? How did life come about and diversify then-after, and why do organisms now share unique common characters from those that did make it through that period?

The Flood maybe.

Oh, so believing God made life out of inanimate matter is ok, but scientists showing how the origin of life formed from inanimate matter through the laws of chemistry is hogwash? Another double standard.

The fossil record is extremely diverse. If you bothered to watch the video on Evolution Made Easy then you'd see that there is no such thing as a transitional form. Scientists don't make up the animals in the complex evolutionary trees. Each one of those different species is from a fossil. I don't see how it is a 'desperate attempt' when it is well documented and well supported.

Because Evolution is a gradual change within each generation, there is no defining point when one animal becomes another. Each animal is a transition of the one that came before it in to the one that comes after it.
Just like you don't see yourself changing when you look at yourself in the mirror every day.

Now if you haven't seen the video, I suggest you do. At least it would help you understand the argument here.

Of course it's ok. It's just logical that the intricate cell was consciously formed. And it's logical that a living God breadth life into the form and gave it life since life only comes from preexisting life and not nonliving matter came to life.

I was being cynical. Once again, you prove that you're here to stroke your own ego. No one else's beliefs are right but yours? Get over yourself. So much for your humility as a Christian. I'm sure you've made Jesus proud.

Everything I've presented to you is scientifically sound and logical, whether it be ultimately true or not and you can't even accept that. How is the natural flow of chemicals and biology make less sense than an invisible being making everything out of magic?

And even then, if you watch the series on Youtube about the Fundamental Falsehoods of Creationism, you'd know that a majority of scientists who study Evolution are Christians. Even the Pope declared that Evolution is true but also a work of God.

You're living in the Dark Ages.

yoshi-lnex

You haven't presented anything.

Parhaps that's why. Notably this is exactly why creationists are not taken seriously, they don't present any evidence while simultaneously choosing to disregard science for something which has no evidence. In the end one side presents evidence, while creationists arguments just account forlittle more than whining.

I can say the same thing. You haven't presented any while simultaneously disregarding arguments from creation and you're just whining.

but where would the diversity of life that we have today come from? Or do you believe in superevolution now?

The Permian-Triassic extinction happened 250 million years ago. Man wasn't in the equation for... well, another 250 million years. Noah wasn't putting animals on the ark 250 million years ago. We are but blips on the geological time scale.

How the heck was I "stroking my own ego"? Never did I say no one's belief is right but mine. You're making things up in your head. I was just saying what's logical and I've explained how it's logical.

i don't have to share the Pope's or other Christian's beliefs.

You are living in the Dark Ages. Seriously, nonliving matter becoming alive (even if chemicals stick together)? Man came from ape-like ancestors? Snap out of it.

Well then God could've created more animals...
