No a crystalline is the result or design of an already existing order in the form of its substructure, molecules, etc
Dawn, where you're in trouble here is that you're obfuscating/confusing the role the Biblical designer. All existing order in the entire universe has been designed by Jehovah, including all forces and observed phenomena, including the formation of crystals.

....but but but DB isn't advocating for a biblical designer, Buz. DB is an IDist...... They claim there is a difference.
Ah, thanks, Hooah. I forgot about that. No wonder Percy's point pevailed over DB, the deist. The unique Biblical model remains the only logical and prevalent alternative for the enormity of design observed.

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).
Oh, so according to the Online Dictionary we have some deists on this board who are disquising themselves as pseudo-ID creationists. Interesting.
Online Dictionary; #1 Noun definition; deist:
deist - a person who believes that God created the universe and then abandoned it
freethinker

I agree and I am saying the samething you are from a more basic level. I dont need the conclusions 0f design, evolution, ID and creationism to demonstrate a point so simple it cannot be missed unless one is being deliberately evasive, such as our friends here
You're not saying the same thing as me. You contradicted yourself in the same sentence. Percy asked if crystalines were an example of design. You said "No.....," when in order to be consistent with what follows......"crystalline is the result or design of an already existing order........," you should have said, "Yes....."
The difference in yours and mine is that mine implies that the ID agent designed the order of the substructure, molecules, etc for crystals to form. Without the designer, no crystals. I would have answered, "Yes........"

Taq writes:
So there is nothing we could ever show you that you would consider not designed, correct?
How could one differenciate, relative to crystalline, for example?
Taq writes:
The problem is that this type of Design conclusion doesn't help us explain anything. Crystals form because of physical forces and chemistry. That explains everything we need to know about how crystals form. However, you add "because the designer made them that way" which adds zilch as far as an explanation. Design is superfluous at best.
Design is not superfluous. To be superfluous would be to go beyond what is required or sufficient. In order for the designer to order crystals, the designer would have to put in order the chemistry and forces necessary for crystals to form.
Jehovah, the designer of the first man did not simply speak energy and matter into existence. He used the elements in the soil from which he formed and designed the man. It took some time of day six for him to do that and it required rest after his work was finished. He didn't simply speak life into the man. He breathed life into the man from himself.
What I'm saying is that the whole Universe enchilada was designed by Jehovah, the Biblical ID. That includes all forces and the order of chemical reactions.
Where did the energy come from? All existing energy was infinite and thus compatible with 1LoT.

Omni, Jar, Dwise and Ringo; One answer fits all. The evidence for ID creationism lies in evidence of the existence of the ID creator by observation of phenomena supportive to that entity.
In the first place, the Biblical example of the creator did involve energy, matter, work, plan and process as per Genesis one where energy was applied to matter and work on the matter was effected over a period of time. It was not just a matter of zapping things into existence by fiat command.
Secondly, Evidence has been debated relative to scientific research, fossils, living alleged extinct things, archeological research, social/curtural phenomena, fulfilled prophecy, and history etc. relative to the existence of a higher intelligence than that observed on itty bitty speck, Planet Earth, by relatively teeny little pea brain human creatures.

After all your posts and all your words, your evidence still amounts to "it looks that way to me."
You had better reread. My evidence amounts to the evidence of a designer. Once you establish the existence of the designer, you have the evidence for design by designer.
Omnivorous writes:
I can replicate and verify the scientific evidence for evolution; there is so much evidence, though, that it would take a life-time.
I can replicate and verify the scientific evidence of a designing designer. I can take a pile of sand, mix it with the right stuff and build a set of steps via work. That's because humans are intelligent designers, modeled after Jehovah, the Biblical god who took elements from the earth and designed things via work. The universe is full of evidence of design. Chaos does not tend towards order/design, just as sand and assorted elements do not tend toward designed functional objects.

All you can do is point and say, "If you believed what I believe, the world would look designed to you, too."

Re: Purpose
Percy writes:
Purpose implies intent, and there is no purpose or intent in science, unless the science is human psychology.
That's assuming there's no designer. This thread is about debating evidences of such. If a designer can be shown to exist, purpose and intent becomes relevant in science, does it not?
Percy writes:
Speaking of psychology, the only practical information I can see emerging from this thread is a better understanding of the relevant pathologies, if someone were inclined toward exploring in that direction.
Pathology: Online Dictionary:
1. The scientific study of the nature of disease and its causes, processes, development, and consequences ...
I'm not sure what you are alluding to here.

Are you being ironic? Are you perhaps spoofing Creationist idiocy with this post?
This is a Russell's law situation where I literally can't tell if you are presenting a Creationist argument authentically or if you are deliberately posting something dumb in order to make Creationists look stupid.
So far, nothing but meanspirited condescending personal attack.

When asked for evidence of something, you can't say that the evidence in support of your claim is the "evidence". You ACTUALLY have to give someone the evidence.
If evidence for ID is the evidence of ID then ID doesn't exist because there's simply no evidence. Period.
Nuggin, you have posted three strawmen.
I know that you've been absent for a spell. Welcome back, by the way, if I haven't already said so.
Unlike your strawmen examples, the EvC archives are rife with cited evidences of an intelligent operative designer in the Universe, whether or not you are inclined to acknowledge them. .

Does Purpose And Intent Relate To Science?
ringo writes:
I want Dawn to show us an experiment that will demonstrate whether something has been designed or not. How do you tell whether a pile of sand is designed or is just a function of the shape of the sand grains? How do you tell whether patterns in snow were caused by the (more-or-less) random motions of hundreds of skiers or by one artist?
The difference is that intelligently designed things serve the purpose and intent of the designer, whereas your example/model has no purpose or intent.
Design things which have purpose and intent tend towards ordered complexity relative to the purpose and intent of the intelligent designer whereas random design does not.
Thus ID creationists view purpose and intent as relative to science research.
