Personally I think it is more intelligent to design things that can evolve. But I want to know your views".
Why? Why not design non evolvable things? What is the rationale?

What is the rationale?
Why? Why not design non evolvable things? What is the rationale?""
The author wants to design only those that can evolve( change) and he considers this to be intelligent. My only question is does it take more intelligence or less intelligence to design NON EVOLVABLE things.
What is the advantage of designing only evolvable things compared to non evolvables?

Re: What is the rationale?
Answer is simple. I do not want to use the word, CREATION though it conveys more meaning. I will only use the word INVENTION. For any invention of evolvable or non evolvable, it always requires intelligence.

Re: What is the rationale?
Why should it be adaptable? Is it because, it fits in the theory of Evolution?

adaptation
Is adaptation an acquired characteristic or is it inborn? In the genetic make up, all the information is preconstructed. When ever there is a need, then the adaptive mechanisms take over. For example, if we live in a cold place and move to a hot place like Phoenix, our thermostatic mechanisms trigger sweating response.There is no need for micro evolution.

Re: What is the rationale?
Why are we looking at lineage? Why cannot we design only one species? Is it because we want to prove Evolutionary scale? Adaptation to the environment has been beautifully observed through the ecological balance. Each species is dependent on the other one. The entire animal kingdom is an example of adaptation. Such a complex process could not have evolved. They all ought to have occured at once everything in its own rightful place and function. This is so amazing. This makes lot of sense to me.

Re: intelligently designing evolution
Here we go again"
"The Designer May Have". Why cannot some one come and say with real proof that this is how it happened?
