Author | Topic: Spotting Beretta's "designer" {Now only 1 summation message per member} | |||||||||||||||||||

You have not addressed any of the aspects of the model I directed you to.
A few short remarks saying, "Is not!" does not contradict anything. But it seems to be another prime example of creation "science" at work. Would you care to try again? Did you even watch that on-line lecture, or did you just read the short description I posted? Religious belief does not constitute scientific evidence, nor does it convey scientific knowledge.

quote: Why do you think the genetic 'code' is actually a code, and not merely complex chemestry? What evidence do you have with the assertion that 'only intelligence can put togather a code'? How do you demonstrate this ?

This thread has reached 300 posts. Please post your summations now. Only one summation per person.
From this point on, please do not post replies, only summations. The content of replies will be hidden. I'll leave this thread open a couple more days.

300 posts, plenty of opportunity, time and space, a lot of it wasted on denying evolution instead of evidencing ID.
In total then what we have been presented as the evidence for ID is some unsubstantiated assertions built upon a mound of personal incredulity; nothing of efficacy for the proposition. The proponents argued in earnest, no doubt to the best of their ability. No credible evidence having been presented I must assume, for the moment, no such evidence exists.

Sorry Coyote -no broadband -can't watch the movie so you'll have to fill me in on how this computer model is better than others I have encountered.

In total then what we have been presented as the evidence for ID is some unsubstantiated assertions built upon a mound of personal incredulity; nothing of efficacy for the proposition. Or are you not listening? You have not told me how the genetic code is not evidence for intelligence? So I have the evolutionary contention that it could happen without intelligence - but then that's because evolutionist's believe that that's possible, not because it necessarily is. It's no good to say we can't see the creator therefore we can't consider it. Prove that natural causes brought the genetic code forth and I will bow out. If supernatural possibilities are automatically excluded then there is no falsification possible, no evidence necessary -evolution is the winner in the absence of choice. But is that science?

Sorry admin -I replied before I saw this message. How do you post a summation rather than a reply? What button does one press instead of 'reply'?

Just use the "Gen Reply" button at the bottom of the page.
No replies to this message. Adminnemooseus ps: I think I'll add some sort of "sumary message only" to topic title.

Sorry Coyote -no broadband -can't watch the movie so you'll have to fill me in on how this computer model is better than others I have encountered. So the model you refuted in post #294, you now admit you actually didn't even watch. This is a fine place to summarize: You have presented no evidence for ID, you have spent most of your posts dismissing the theory of evolution, and, if this one example is typical, you aren't even familiar with the data. Creation "science" in a nutshell. All creation and no science. And ID, its illegitimate stepchild, is the same. There is no evidence to support it but it must be right and that evilution stuff must be wrong because we believe. See you in the next thread, and we'll contend yet again. Religious belief does not constitute scientific evidence, nor does it convey scientific knowledge.

I think that this thread makes it quite clear that ID consists of little more than religious apologetics and ToE misrepresentation.

What an odd thread, but it highlights just why the creation/evolution debate, or the ID/evolution debate for those who insist on maintaining the charade, just won't go away. People everywhere, not just creationists, almost always refuse to follow the evidence when it goes against what they know is true.
Even so, creationism is a rather extreme example of this behavior. Not only do creationists not follow the evidence where it leads, they don't even recognize the established system for investigating nature, the scientific method. They formulate a hypothesis (the intelligent designer) based upon the appearance of design, then insist that the evidence is sufficient to claim status as theory, skipping all the other steps of the scientific method, like designing experiments to verify the hypothesis, and replication. They prefer a system which includes mechanisms (the supernatural) before they've ever been verified through the scientific method. What creationists have going for them is the ability to keep the debate alive in the minds of the public, and then turning the debate into a battle for the minds of children. At the heart of this battle is a religion which holds itself up as the one, right and true religion (as do so many), and they justify their efforts as a battle for souls. Their incredible persistance is explained when it is understood that they regard this as a religious crusade where the stakes are salvation itself. Those who would reach a hopeful conclusion from the utter thrashing ID has taken here where it was revealed the ID emperor is scientifically naked must understand that this battle will never end as long as fundamentalist religion believes its tenets are contradicted by scientific theories. With all eternity at stake the minds of fundamentalists can convince themselves of anything. --Percy Edited by Percy, : Typo.

Thermodynamic Entropy Trend = Order to Disorder, decay, lifelessness etc. Intelligent Design Trend = Disorder to Order, design, intelligence, complexity, life sustaining complex systems, etc. I think that is, inadventently, as good a summation of ID as any: it is a combination of gross scientific ignorance and childish errors in logic.

As we have all realised - there is little to no evidence for a designer being put forth. Beretta has pushed the idea that observations of life on Earth reveal design, and hence there muct exist a designer. Perhaps it is is time we turned things around. Let us accept for a moment that the appearance of design is indeed the result of very real design. Instead of asking for information regarding this designer, let us infer as much as possible regarding the attributes of this designer from the "design" itself. I have started a new thread, yet to be promoted, which concerns my own thoughts in this regard.
