Is complexity an argument against design?

What method did you use to determine that He meant that literally?

Great you can quote the Bible, but the question was 'What method did YOU use to determine whether the Jonah story is to be taken literal or not?'Now, lets try this again. You said you take it to be a literal story, what method are you using to determine that?

So YOUR faith is your method of knowing that Jesus meant the story of Jonah to be taken literal?Im only asking because it seems to be the same method you apply to determine there has to be a designer, and the same method ID uses to invoke a designer. But you both lack the same thing and that is evidence, without that you have no argument.Therefore you don't know for sure if the story of Jonah is to be taken literal or not, and you don't know for sure if there is a designer or not, all you have is your faith that you are right in your belief.What you want from us is for us to adopt your beliefs and take YOU on faith that you're right.

And where exactly can I find something written by this beloved fello???

Were these multiple chioce questions or true/false questions?How much time does the Lord give for each question?Is it a written or oral test?Is it open book or do you just have to wing it? Was this the masterpiece that was supposed to convince us that you aren't applying any faith to these scriptures? Don't be so modest...Oh please, please, please, give us more instructions!Edited by Adminnemooseus, : Off-topic banner and note.Edited by onifre, : No reason given.

This statement is contradicting.You say that evolution hasn't been 'fully tested', as have most other other scientific principles...But then you say 'principles that we understand to a great degree of accuracy, and utilize'...So if you understand that scientific theories are understood to a 'great degree of accuracy, and it is utilized', then you should recognize the work done by Evolutionary Scientist and the different fields that support it and show the same respect for it that you show other theories.You simply reject evolution, and ONLY evolution, because of your specific interpretation of scriptures and lack of desire to truly understand the theory. This is of course just an opinion but I like the way you add 'no matter how much you declare it is not', that way no ones argument will ever satisfy.Show us proof for the Designer and then you may introduce him as part of the process, because if you don't show proof people will suspect you are just making up the Designer. As for now you have not done this, you just state 'God did it' and expect that to carry weight. It doesn't, 'no matter how much you declare that it does'
