they just dont know how to pin your ears to the wall, I do For as many times that you have alluded to your abilities, you have failed to live up to them. You have 2k+ posts at EvC and have, so far, failed to make a case for anything. Just to stay on topic and not get accused of being inflammatory:
the same way an eternal existence of mattter is the conclusion of Evo, wehther you ackowledge it or not. Please explain this one. What does evolution say about the "eternal existence of matter"? "What can be asserted without proof, can be dismissed without proof."-Hitch.

You should know very well (since you are such a seasoned public debater in the evo-creo arena) that evolution has fuck all to do with origins. If you knew so much about evolution, you would know that it could occur whether there was a magic sky daddy farting atoms into existence, abiogenesis occurring, transpermia etc.
Whether in evolution or design, we are forced by logic and reason to ask where the process came from, thatprovides the mechanism.. Nope, not at all. You see, different fields of science have a neat way of not trying to overlap one another. The field of, let's say: Evolutionary Biology, has no business in bothering with where it all came from or "the eternal existence of matter". Cosmology is the field that is trying to work that out. Nor does the Theory of Evolution have any say so on the origins of matter. While, yes, you could have a discussion about the origins of matter when dealing with someone who accepts evolution as opposed to ID and ask them where they think matter came from, it would have absolutely NO BEARING on evolution whatsoever.

Dawn, where you're in trouble here is that you're obfuscating/confusing the role the Biblical designer. ....but but but DB isn't advocating for a biblical designer, Buz. DB is an IDist...... They claim there is a difference. "What can be asserted without proof, can be dismissed without proof."-Hitch.

DB, the deist. No, Buz. IDist, not deist. BIG difference. ID pays lip service alone to claiming themselves separate from religionists. They claim the designer is not "god", or that they don't know who or what the designer is (even though we know full well they are creationists in disguise). "What can be asserted without proof, can be dismissed without proof."-Hitch.

What are you smoking, Buz? There are only 2 members on this board that I can think of off the top of my head who claim to be Deists: RAZD and Percy (correct me, Percy, if I am wrong). You are the only one conflating the two terms, since you are the one who brought it up. You DO know what ID is, correct? You DO know what the ID movement is, correct?
As far as the definition you quoted, it is far more widely accepted that Deists do not ascribe to "god" as YOU know it. It is more of a belief in "A" god. If you wish to start a thread wherein you conflate the terms further, I (and a few others I am sure) would be glad to participate.

You are arguing for design from the standpoint of intelligent design. You ARE taking the ID standpoint. If you can't be honest with yourself, how can we expect you to be honest with us?
Deism or ID is not rquired to establish my position, So now you are also going to conflate the two terms as well? "What can be asserted without proof, can be dismissed without proof."-Hitch.

So you say it does have to do with origins, ..... English isn't your first language, is it? You will notice that I said it has "FUCK ALL" to do with origins, meaning it has nothing to do with origins. "What can be asserted without proof, can be dismissed without proof."-Hitch.

hooah212002 Member (Idle past 832 days) Posts: 3193 Joined: |
So, now that you understand that evolution has FUCK ALL to do with origins, do you plan on recanting your drivel about the "eternal existence of matter", since it has nothing to do with anything currently being discussed.
From your Message 146:
Logic and and observable physical properties are as HONEST as it gets. What I can determine from thos aspects, is as Honest as it gets. Creation, ID and evo are conclusions from logical and physical demonstrations. Logic first, conclusions second You have yet to provide any sort of mechanism with which to test for the design you tout. All you have done is shout "look, I'm logical. It's logical!. It's logical!" without saying much of anything else. How do we know what is designed and what is natural? Like your title implies, where is the evidence for design? p.s.: You might try growing up so you're not so easily offended by words, pussy face. "What can be asserted without proof, can be dismissed without proof."-Hitch.

There is, it always existed and something eternal in nature created it...... its both a part of the logical conclusion and its there by indirect implication The ONLY people who need an eternal anything are religious folk. There is nothing about the world the rest of us live in that necessitates an eternal anything.
please provide me another alternatoive or mechanism Alternative to what, exactly? Design?Mechanism for what, exactly? Life? Lord in heaven you people are stupid beyond belief. Says the person who couldn't formulate a cogent statement to save his life......
Your contrived mechanism is not the only approach. Oddly enough, I have yet to provide "my" mechanism for anything. We are still trying to figure out what the fuck you are talking about....
reality is the only viable approach to provide answers to the existence of things Quite so. Now, I think it's time for you to come back to reality and formulate a coherent argument instead of repeating "logic logic logic logic" over and over again.
Not only are you stupid and simplistic your a child to boot And you're an imbecilic assclown who sucks cock in hell. Isn't this fun? (thanks for moving this to FFA, Herr Direktor.) "What can be asserted without proof, can be dismissed without proof."-Hitch.

Experiment is not necessary, where logic dictates, the only possible outcome. Then all you have been championing for falls flat on it's face. You see, we can witness life being created with NO need for any designer. That is the logical conclusion (since you don't want to test for the design).
I dont need an experiment to determine that order and design are present, or the logical possibility of design. Of course you don't....because you have no interest in being taken seriously. Now, on the other hand, if you actually had a clear thought in your head and actually wanted to be taken seriously: yes, you do need experiments. "It looks designed" means nothing because guess what? It doesn't look designed to me. So now your proposition has become highly subjective and yet you fail to even attempt to promote said proposition so as to convince anyone outside of your head to the validity of it.
order and physical properties that act orderly are ALWAYS and will always be the result of a valid logical proposition, the refutation of which IS NOT POSSIBLE. In this instance the proposition will always, always, always demonstrate design, by deduction, without the necessity for or the producing of a designer himself. Maybe in the meth induced dream you are living in, but not the real world. Just because there is order, that does not dictate design. There is this thing called nature. Go outside once in a while and witness order that occurs naturally: no designer needed. Oh, but no. You want to claim that there IS a designer needed, but you want to get away with just saying so. It's almost as if you think your designer has his hand in every single event that happens everywhere. Every tree, every koala, every blade of grass.

You seem to be the only one saying anything about "eternal matter".
"No need for a designer" is something you assume. Well, when I was banging my ex-wife conceiving my son, there was no "designer" involved...... That is the point I was making.
otherwise all youve done is assumed his non-existence.. Of course we assume that BECAUSE THERE IS NO EVIDENCE FOR A DESIGNER. You assume that the FSM isn't the designer, why is that?
Or all you need to do is show me the test that tests for matter eternal. Do you not understand that YOU are the one here making wild ass claims? YOU need to ante up with some tests, not us. This thread is about design. It is YOUR thread and you have provided diddly.
Why do you get to assume that matter is eternal, YOU are the only one here saying anything about eternal matter.
So order does not demonstrate design? Nope. Have you ever watched a water droplet being dropped onto a pool of water? After it hits the surface and bounces back up, it forms a perfect sphere. Was that water drop designed immediately after it hit the surface of the water?Oooh, now you are going to say that your designer designed the laws that allow for for that perfect sphere, right? Well, if that is your answer, you actually DO have some more to prove..since now we can see natural order occurring, we can LOGICALLY deduce no designer UNTIL YOU PROVIDE A TEST OR EVIDENCE FOR SAID DESIGNER. Savvy that, son? "What can be asserted without proof, can be dismissed without proof."-Hitch.

So if order is not evidence of design, then neither is it true that these things SEEM TO HAPPEN ON THIER OWN So, you are saying NO order happens on it's own and your designer has it's hands in every little aspect of everything? The droplet of water I mentioned: your designer did that too?
You really dont understand anything about logical rational thought processes do you? I fear you are projecting your own inadequacies onto others, my dear boy.
You and others have suggested many times that these things happen on thier own, with no ID. If that is the case you are asserting a proposition, the likes of which, now pay close attention, says you are prepared to defend that assertion. Go back and read what I posted. Take a gander at the circle of life. All natural and can be explained without the need for any designer. Look at a walnut seed. We can watch it from seed to sapling to tree. That is order, is it not? Was your designer there to make it grow? IF so, how do you know that? How can you prove it? You are asserting something that only convolutes matters, all the while saying "prove I am wrong" as if you can just have any old hair brained idea become accepted without proving it to be correct. If I am wrong, please feel free to explain yourself better. However, I know you won't and will just say you are the only rational person ever. {abe}
If that assertion is true where is your evidence, the same type that you require of me. Are you really asking for evidence that things happen naturally? Have you ever taken a nature hike? Have you ever looked at nature? WHERE IS YOUR DESIGNER????? NATURE happens naturally. The life we see EVERY DAY happens naturally: no mythical creatures necessary.

it strongly points to a design by a designer No it doesn't.
Where did the material that made it a seed come from and then beyond that As soon as you describe your process, we can continue. Unless you plan on saying "I don't understand evolution so it MUST be design" because that is exactly what it looks like. You continually duck and dodge and try to respond to our questions by asking us questions. Nice try, but no thanks.
How will my observations in the park tell what happened before Time zero, is there just more time to infinity, or did it just pop into existence. What does this have to do with "The evidence for design and a designer"? Remember, YOU started this thread and have yet to explain, well, anything. Furthermore, do you plan on discussing life as we see it NOW or how it came into existence? I feel that discussing both won't fit too well in one topic as it is a VERY broad scope.... {abe}Having said the above statement and thought about it, it would appear to me that you think your "logical order something something logic order order is logical yada yada" encompasses everything from pre-big bang all the way to modern medicine, all the while remaining as vague as possible. You can't give us a single experiment (hell, you say you don't NEED experiments), yet you basically wish to replace or compete with almost ALL of natural science. Once you can take a deep breath and have someone else take over your account that isn't a fucking moron, I think we can continue.
I need a test Yes. You need a mental capacity test. Edited by hooah212002, : No reason given. Edited by hooah212002, : added some mumbo jumbo "What can be asserted without proof, can be dismissed without proof."-Hitch.

Thus ID creationists..... Buz, you realize you are playing for our team when you wholeheartedly admit ID is creationism, right? I'm not sure if you know this, but ID hasn't publicly come out of the closet. They still deny their religious ties...... Keep it up, buddy. We appreciate it.

Am I the only one who is not surprised that this thread, entitled "evidence for design and a designer", has devolved into what evolution does, all the while failing to even work out what can be called evidence for design? When-oh-when will ID/creation attempt to stand on it's own merit?
