When does design become intelligent? (AS OF 8/2/10 - CLOSING COMMENTS ONLY)

If you must draw a line between the first lifeform and its predicessor, then the DNA for that first lifeform would have been slightly different from the DNA contained in the thing that came before the first lifeform, thus the DNA would have came first.Although, the first true lifeforms probably came before true DNA, but that is beside the point.Edited by Catholic Scientist, : No reason given.

Not necessarily... I see no reason to assume the intelligent designer was too inept to employ chaos as a means of creating. Again, not necessarily. I see no reason to assume the same ineptitude that you proscribe to the intelligent designer. It started with just chemical reactions, those happen all on their own. Eventually, you get to self replication, which when imperfect, introduces new information.Its all very, very gradual.

You asked how it *could* happen and I told you. But I never expected you to learn or accept anything.You've never cared about it before. I guess when you lose the argument you can always fall back on that one.Let talk about the Big Band some more. That's always good for a laugh...

You said you had no idea how it could happen and I gave you a way it could.You're just exposing your dishonesty at this point.Edited by Catholic Scientist, : No reason given.
