Re: One step would be to define what ID isn't
What are the experiments?
Praying and asking god for an anwser
and what are the hypotheses that are being tested?
That science is wrong when it comes to dating, and evolution.
What is the null hypothesis?
There is none, god is always right it says so in the bible go and read it.
Seriusly
ID and science are like water and oil.
Science does its best to disprove its own theories
ID does its best to ignore science, when it comes to disproving its own theories
Science accounts for all known facts
ID picks and chooses the facts that they deem relevant
Scientific theories change when new evidence comes to light
ID ignores new evidence that would require the bible to change

Re: Hypotheses
Why will no one answer this question, why will no one agree or disagree initially that the IDs methods are the exact same as the SM in the form of Observation, experimentation evaluation and experimentation
Well most of us disagree, IDs observation is if it looks desighned then it is no parameters are used for what actualy is desighned or not, so it is based on personal objectivity only. Experimentation evaluation i have yet to see any ID experiments and evaluations of this experiment that does not involve magic to fill the holes in id logic.
Here is the question in another form, if the other refuses to be ansewred. Are these the basic tenets of the SM, Yes or NO?
Yes they are but ID does not use them.
If we do, is that a scientific approach, Yes or No?
Yes please do it, please make an observation define what you see, why you think you see that, then desighn an experiment that would prove your claim, evaluate this experiment and then i will provide one that disproves your claim so we can dump ID please play by SM rules if it is disproven it goes in to the trashcan.
One can simply test the prediction that order and law, will occur if a given enough amount of time and tests are conducted, which makes it a "Logical consequence of the hypothesis being correct", as you suggest
Well yes until i provide an experiment whitch using the same starting conditions always produces a diferent resaoult.
Please demonstrate which part of my process is not science in action
All of it
Not a single post has attempted the answer to such a simple question, Why?
Almost all posts in this tread did in their own way.
there is nothing speculative about IDs approach and you are being dishonest by not answering the question
Give me an example of a theory made by id and i will point out your speculations.

Re: Design vs. non-design
Observation: everything falls down when you drop it.
Evaluation: some one must push those things down
Experimentation: lets make a airoplane smooth and aerodinamic so nothing can grab it and make it go realy fast so they cannot catch it if the plane does not fall we prove that someone is willfuly pushing it down.
Conclusion our experiment worked and it proves that someone is wilfully holding the plane down when it goes fast it cannot hold it anymore do to its shape and it flies.
Prediction: all such shapes fly if they move fast enough.
ID is about the same BS as what i have written above.

Re: Design vs. non-design
Wrong what you have described above is simply a conclusion, the same as Macro-evolution and any of the other unseen and unwitnessed conclsusion derived by the SM
Unlike macro evolution i can disprove mine in 5 seconds.
Would it be unreasonable to assume or conclude that aliens planted a seed in the oceans here to form the life the way it is
No, as long as you have some evidence to support that conclusion. Show me your 4billion old piece of plastic that came from the mothership.
Would that conclusion be unreasonable?
Whitout any evidence it is as unreasnoble as the conclusion that everything was made 5 seconds ago the way it is now all our memories this forum, light in transit ....
You have to do better than that above to demostrate that ID is BS
No you will haveto do better to demonstrate ID is not BS.
You havent even got started
You are right im waiting for you, i cannot debunk something if you provide nothing to be debunked so far you said ID is the same as SM and that is all you provided no evidence to why?, how?, they are the same. If they where the same they would agree in everything well they dont so they are not
Usualy ID-ists say well life is to complex to be made by a natural process so it must be desighned.
That is poor logic an I beam is verry simple and it is not made by natural processes alone man has to use those processes to make it so it is desighned. Old Faitful a geiser in yelowstone is verry complex and you can set your watch to it is it desighned or made by natural processes
Give me something and il get started on debunking it.

Re: ID is not science
Would you, thats YOU C, please demonstrate why any of the initial chaacteristics that I have present or any test that I may conduct to observe Order, law and harmony in nature are not scientific principles.
No one is arging against order, law or harmony. We are arguing that those are not in the slightest evidence for an inteligent desighner.
Example of order forming: When you throw dice long enough you see that there is order in how many times a number drops comapred to other numbers that is order forming though there is no evidence that there is an inteligence behind the dice telling them what number they should drop on.
A2+B2=C2 in a triangle its a law still no evidence of a inteligence telling the longest side of the triangle to be the root of (a2+b2)
Harmony well if you are refering to animals in nature the more food availible to herbavores the more herbavores the more herbavores you have the more carnivores you get, it works backwards too a harmony still no sighn of an inteligent being controlling it.
Inteligent desighn has always failed because it presumes an inteligent being controling everything, or desighning life WHITOUT any evidence that would point to that conclusion other then the bible.

Re: Still just empty assertions and claims.
You witness change and natural selection in the available evidence, we wittness clear order, law and harmony
And you presume order, law and harmony requires a desighner because???

Re: Question everything
In response to your latest post abbout an experiment being showed in poste 131.
Wrong I have done this many times now, both here and in other threads. It uses a simple process to observe, test, measure evaluate and study detailed organisms both great and small.
Would you mind doing it again one more time for me cause i cant find any examples.
It tests and evaluates thier structures, such as DNA, to study its organization to produce a living thing that operates in a logical and harmonious fashion, based on the previously observed order in its substructure
I hate to dissapoint you but there is no logic in the development faze of lets say a human, Gills are made and then unmade, a tail is made and then unmade.... logicly a small form a human would be made and then grown whit none of these energy wasting illogical steps.
This is a scientific observation and investigation of the natural world to come to the conclusion of obvious or even appearent design, now watch, not a bit different than any principle applied in the so-called SM
Sorry i cant evan find what you think is pointing to desighn much less conclude it is desighn.
How is this not scientific and how is the conclusion unjustified logically
Well logicly if i would desighn a race to look like me for all eternety i would make it in a way that it could not change, though every species can change dna mutations are happening all over the world in every species even humans.
If the order you say was so fundamental then why all the bad mutations. Like all of the genetic desieses we humans can have.
If there is so much harmony in our bodies what about auto immune desieses when ones own body attacks itself.
My guess is that all you can do is disagree and that is all you can do
YES BECAUSE YOU HAVE SHOWN NO EVIDENCE ONLY WILD GUESSES WHY SOMETHING COULD SHOULD BE!!!
Please explain how you would prove any conclusions concerning evolution, where the evidence is not now available
How much evidence did DARWIN have (well more then ID cause id has none) and he hypothesised evolution and it was later refined and proved.
Please expalain why any priciples of science we employ are any less or better to come to the conclusions you have arrived at
Because ID usualy starts whit an unproven assumption to support its theory and then uses its theory to support the asumption.

Re: ID is not science
Where did you argue that order, law and harmony are not evidence of design
Above and wherever i find them posted now will you tell me WHY DO YOU PRESUME THEY NEED A DESIGHNER?
Lord help us, no one is this simplistic. What would the dice do if no one threw them?
They would wait for an erthquake and fall on their own now stop avoiding the question.
Can the lines in the triangle be any more or less than they are, do they change and become something else, working in harmony with other physical properties
They are triangles evolution has nothing to do whit triangles. It has all to do whit laws though. And there is no law saying because a2+b2=c2 there cannot be any evolution it says that at least this law has no desighner controling it.
No, the harmony in the substructure right up to that you describe, that forms another animal with teeth to eat another animal, not the results
So what are you saying heare that evolution made them your grammer has me confused.
design cannot fail because it is not based on a designer, but the evaluation of natural process, doing what they do
Um now i am realy confused is there a desighner or no or what do you presume he actualy did. Snap his fingers made the big bang and then waited 15 billion years so the erth would form then made the first cell and waited some more for humans to arive so they could worship him. Usualy ID says a desighner desighned it all.
What form of ID are you preaching?
You are confusing presuppositions and conclusions with what can be logically and physically deduced
What that the harmony in nature is so complex it had to be desighned why why could it not acure naturaly?? Whitout any aid from an inteligence??
If design fails for the reason it cannot produce a designer, which is a conlcusion, Then macro-evolution and nature, by soley natural sources fails for the same reason, because it cannot produce any evidence for events not now available
Sorry to dissapoint you but there is plenty of evidence for macro evolution i still haveto see ANY evidence for a Desighner or that anything in nature actualy is desighned.

Re: Applying The Scientific Method
1. The universe earth is full of order, diverse elements, operative forces and complicated complexity, all indicative of intelligent design
Order: does not point to a desighner it was shown that order can spawn on its own
Diverse elments: Huh?? well yes they usualy form in stars no desighner needed
Operative forces: huh?? so your saying gravity and the like so gravity is caused by mass and that proves a desighner how?
Complicated complexity: Huh?? So complex things cannot be complex on their own they need a desighner for them to be complex. An simple things can come to be because they are simple like an I beam it is perfectly simpla an I shaped metal beam nothing complex abbout it though i see none acuring in nature.
And the geiser in yelowstone:
The workings are complex at least to the complexity of the i beam and they formed on their own.
Snow flakes verry complex compared to the I beam and abundant in nature and still no simple I beam.
Complexity and simplicty is a flawed argument to support a desighner.
2. LoT1 implicates eternal energy. LoT implicates ultimate equilibrium absent from a working manager, designer.
I dunno what you mean by lot.
3. No model of the BB has been formulated void of pre-existing ID and pre-existing energy, space and time.
Well no because that would be guessing, stabbing in the dark..... Because we have no evidence nothing to show us what could have been.
4. Biblical Record depicting an eternal intelligent creator designer infinitely operative in an infinite Universe is more thermodynamically compatible with LoT1 and LoT2 than BB finite Universe theory.
Why not the greek record, or hindu, or that it happend by the laws of nature.
1. The Biblical record will ultimately be vindicated and corroborated by supportive observations.
Te biblical record gets slaped in the face whit every new discovery that has anything to do whit its record i dout the exsistance of god would be any different.
2, The Universe will continue to be infinite.
Not unless there is a big rip, or a big chill.
3. Space is unbounded and the universe will remain infinitely.
And what is pointing to this conclusion??
4. The Universe will infinitely remain orderly, managed and designed intelligently.
Oh can you predict when he will come to erth i would like to have some of that water turned to wine.

Re: Question everything
Physicist Michael Poole said about this, "Big Bang is scientific shorthand for a 'singularity' in which the ordinary aws of physics are unlikely to have held. Time and space came into being with the Big Bang. This is what scientists talk of as 'origins'."
Yes
If time space and matter have not always existed than one would be led to believe that something created them. Sounds kind of religious don't you think.
I do not think it is religius, almost all religions say that the world/universe was created, Though SM differs there is no evidence that a god or an inteligent being created it. Science: we know it was made we are not sure about the process that made it. Religion: we know it was made it was definitivly our god. See the diference?
ince the evolution theory is a religious one and you believe it can be supported through the scientific method you must believe religion can be supported through the scientific method. Is Intelligent design not a form of religion.
Um since when has evolution become a religion?? What makes you think it is? Religion: our god made it all. Science: this is what we know happened with the evidence at hand, this is what we do not know yet. Evolution: This is the evidence we have and it points to this.
Where is the religion part in evolution or science.
Inteligent desighn is a religion yes it presumes a desighner and uses the desighner to support its theories and then uses its theories to support the desighner ignoring all other evidence a clear sighn it is a religion.

Re: Question everything
No, again, design is a conclusion of observed evidence. It doesnt mean design is the source, it means it is a logical conclusion of the available evidence of obvious order.
You still do not get it you base your conclusion on the base that order needs desighn to be order. You have not put one argument forward that would say or point to that. Until you do it is more logical to assume that order can spawn naturaly whitout the aid of inteligence.

Re: Applying The Scientific Method
So claiming that order can start on its own and demonstrating it are two different things, perhaps you could conduct one of those complicated, very involved in depth SM test to prove to us that order is not designed and that it in every place starts on its own.
Ok lets say chance and order are opposites. To the naked eye they are a coin toss can only be heads or tails and there is no way to predict what the toss will be. So one would think coin tossing has nothing to do whit order though throw a coin long enough and a pattern emerges a 50:50 pattern the more times you throw it the closer to 50:50 it gets so there is some order in coin tossing. Was there a will needed to toss the coin in a 50:50 pattern or did the coin fall in a 50:50 on its own and would do the same in a random vibration generator.
I would say order in the coin tossing spawned on its own our will for it to land on heads or tails in a 50:50 ratio had NOTHING to do whit it.
especially the beginning of things
After the big bang spawned matter order as we see it is only a natural occurance, atoms rubing one a nother causes static electricity, static electricity pulls the first few together, when enough are together their mass atracts more trough gravity when enough are atracted the first stars are borne all fallowing simpla natural laws. Evolution also follows the same natural laws after the first cell was borne it was only natural that mutations accured, and by the same chance as the coin toss some of those mutations benifited the cell to have a better chance at survival and mythosis, the more time you have the more mutations accure the more mutations acure the grater the chance of a benifitial mutation, benifitial mutations have a better chance of being passed on because the offspring have a better survuval chance of those that do not have this mutation. All of it following natural laws and order spawning from chance i see no need for a desighner willing dissorder to become order.
because we already know the SM is superior to all other forms of investigation and it can answer all questions, even the ones where the direct evidence is no longer available, correct
Correct because we have TONES of CIRCUMSTANTIAL evidence, And some normal evidence too. ID has no evidence only an assumption based on flawed logic.

Re: Applying The Scientific Method
No I don't. Read me carefully. Note that word, "evidence." Where there is evidence there should be science.
And there is
There are some IDSM scientists applying the SM who's chances of getting peered, studied in academia, researched by conventional science.
Well whos fault is that creationism, and id got such a bad rep in science circles?
or aired in the public media are near nil.
O dont worry the media loves to air people who claim that bananas are desighned for the human hand by god, that we should see new life forming in penut butter if evolution where true, that evolution does not explain the origins of matter and energy so its not true ....

Re: Applying The Scientific Method
Why do the SM scientists such as National Geographic's Robert Ballard and other secularists have no interest in either falsifying the alleged evidence or verifying it?
Because most of what they get is called PRATT point refuted a thousand times. And they do not want to take the time to refute it the 1001 time.
