There's no need to curse. Yes, you are correct, that's entirely possible, however, without going to all that trouble, it is still evident that a plane is designed simply by observing its features, mechanisms, layout, details, etc... deciphering a non designed object from a designed object is easy to do (ie. an eroded rock vs. a designed stone spearhead).
Likewise, we can infer design in life.

So, how do we tell the difference between an Intelligently Designed system and a natural one which we
1) don't understand, but may in the future, and/or
2) don't have the ability to understand due to our limited intelligence?

That is laughable, PeterB. The rational extrapolation from observations of nature is that the tree has parents. If you wish to assert otherwise, it is you who needs to prove it. ( note: the word is 'prove')

Yeah, and a pretty wild fantasy it is, as every living thing on the planet, as far has has been proven thus far, has at least one parent(used loosely).

Right. And no one has shown this effect at larger than subatomic scale. I don't think the tree qualifies. Are you venturing into yet another area you know nothing about?

Actually, to real biologists, it is obvious that biology is exactly what we thought it to be.

God, I love when you get all cocky and bombastic. It makes me warm and fuzzy all over. Of course, you may as well peg me for buying into that heliocentric claptrap too. That one is much older, and so obviously that much more incorrect.
quote:
PB: Different genera are indeed present in the record. Agathis and Wollemia are distinct genera. Agathis is still around, so is Wollemia.
Why not show a contemporary Agathis in comparison with Wollemia? Because its DNA is distinctly different.

Yeah, its DNA is distinctly different. Just like the DNA between any two genera. Hmmmm..... not the same critter == not the same DNA. Geez, PB, pretty insightful. Besides, this would be the case with your MPG hypothesis as well, so why is this even an issue?

Better compare it with something it actually resembles, rather than something it resembles less well.
Oh, and, my well informed friend, the genes of the two have been compared.

That is part of the problem. We don't know, because we don't have one.

In otherwords, for practical pruposes, it ought to not look like other species. That is the only way we'd be able to identify it. How different must it be? Maybe it uses only one of the four amino acids in DNA, something like that. Maybe it produces signifant numbers of proteins-- say 50% of the proteins it depends upon-- not found in any other animal.

Well arguably that process is what we creationists refer to as the creation.
If you're looking for "new organism being designed, formed, and plopped", then look to the fossil record, 140+/- years of documented fully formed distinct creatures extracted from the earth, validating the record of the process you mentioned.
We can infer design simply by common logic based on thousands of design cases in every day life, and if you really want, we can back it up by archaeologically verified ancient documents describing the creation event by an intelligent Designer.

No we can't. But we've been through that. You are just repeating yourself.

You can't seriously be making this argument. Sure we can back it up. We can back up several dozen creation-by-intelligent-designer events using archeologically verified documents. Do you accept al of those accounts? Or just one?

The Fossil Record
Based on a fragment of lower jaw found in opal deposits at Lightning Ridge in New South Wales, a type of ancestral platypus (Steropodon galmani) existed alongside the dinosaurs about 110 million years ago.
In 1991, a fossil tooth belonging to a different kind of ancient platypus (originally described as Monotrematum sudamericanum but now probably regarded as another Obdurodon species, see below) was discovered in the Patagonian desert of Argentina. The tooth was found in sediments deposited over 60 million years ago, at the time when Australia and South America were still joined as part of the southern supercontinent Gondwana.
Fossils belonging to three other extinct platypus species (Obdurodon insignis, Obdurodon dicksoni, and Obdurodon sp. A) have been found in Australian sediments deposited between 25 and 15 million years ago, while a leg bone from the first close relative of the modern platypus (Ornithorhynchus sp.) has been dated to about 4.5 million years ago.
The earliest known remains of the platypus in its current form (Ornithorhynchus anatinus) date back to around 100,000 years ago.
The platypus is sometimes described as a "living fossil" because of this ancient lineage and its combination of mammalian and reptilian features.

I appreciate the lather, so well worked up by you fellows, but you're taking this thread off topic. We aren't trying to establish whether ID/C is a valid science. ( it isn't )
I have another thread started that would suit this subject very well:
...have a viddy of the thread:
Exactly 'HOW' intelligent must a Designer be ?
http://EvC Forum: Exactly 'HOW' intelligent must a Designer be ? -->EvC Forum: Exactly 'HOW' intelligent must a Designer be ?
If you see no problem with 'inferring a designer' because you WANT to see design in living things, perhaps there you might explain the methods & mechanisms used by this mysterious designer to implement and execute her alleged design ?
Why is this never addressed by the ID/C croud ?
They pretend there's a design, then a designer...and then call it a day and stop. Pretty thin stuff.
Ah, but I digress...
Why are there no secular creationists ?
Why does their 'science' only impress christian fundementalists who insist on a literal interpretation ( an oxymoron ) of Genesis.
Why aren't Hinduists & Buddhists impressed by Creation science and its evidence ?
It seems to me that if you have to join a religious cult to appreciate their brand of science....it very likely isn't good science, but more trappings of their religious cult.

jeff

dear John,
J: Einstein had evidence. Everyone knew there were problems with the existing theories. A lot of people were working on it. Einstein was the one who put it together correctly, first.
PB: every self respecting objective scientist knows evolutionism is in trouble. I will give you 10 examples that bring it down:
1) the redundant Src kinase family,
2) the redundant alpha actinin family,
3) the 1G5 gene

Genetic redundnacies in general are sufficient to bring down evolutionism since they do not demonstrate a relationship with gene duplications. Genetic redundancies leave the evolutionary community with complete surprise and disbelief (Nature - Not Found). The same accounts for adaptive mutations (Nature - Not Found).

As opposed to half-formed? What does that mean, exactly?

PB: every self respecting objective scientist knows evolutionism is in trouble. I will give you 10 examples that bring it down:
1) the redundant Src kinase family,
2) the redundant alpha actinin family,
3) the 1G5 gene
4) the swim reflex in conjunction with the gag reflex in newborn
5) the ancient mtDNA in human/primates

As you have contributed to the overthrow of evolutionism, I was perplexed, as you can imagine, when I did a literature search for your name and 'evolutionism' and 'overthrow' and I got zero returns...
Perhaps you can provide a citation - or better yet, a reprint - of your seminal publications on this issue.
Thanks...

I do hope that you are still not trying to claim that the paper in question posits a human-chimp divergence at 150,000 years ago...If so, that one example will "bring down" your entire feces..
I mean thesis...

Actually, everything on his list has been shown to be 1. a result of Borger's lack of any kind of relevant background in genetics and thus completely distorted views i.e. W.nobilis, ZFX 2. Ignoring the evidence exactly against what he is saying 3. claiming that the authors for any reference given against his point either say exactly the opposite of what they are saying or that the data says something that is does not i.e. 150 kya last common ancestor of chimp and human.
4. And most commonly, being repeatedly demonstrated to be wrong but then repeating the same falsehoods over and over without ever substantiating the claims.

Refresh my memory, there are about 250,000,000 catalogued fossils correct? And, arguably a handful of "transitionals".

You can't seriously be making this argument. Sure we can back it up. We can back up several dozen creation-by-intelligent-designer events using archeologically verified documents. Do you accept al of those accounts? Or just one?

I accept the holy bible.

Why is that unreasonable in your opinion?
Speaking of the pyramids, I'm not sure what the latest news is, but I know that they have been the topic of discussion for many years, as to who and how? etc...It was never assumed by anyone that they were NOT designed, even though it happened in ancient times. Design was obvious.
Why is it so unreasonable to correlate known design with apparant design?
p.s. Correction, animals are NOT human
