John Paul, of course, started a new thread on this topic because I had shown how he was in error in using Stonehenge as an analogy about inferring desing without knowing about the Designers.
Others have refuted JPs attempts to 'prove' his point, but I want to re-emphasize something which JP simply ignored:
The 'designer's' of Stonehenge left a history of their work.
The history of Stonehenge - the order in which the earlier incarnations existed; their structure; the source of their raw materials; etc - is there to examine.
I asked for some examples in biology for a comparable 'history' for the ID of some biological structures/entities.
I got nothing but the usual run around.
That JP cannot see that is a given.
That he simply starts a new thread saying the same stuff over and over when rebutted/refuted is also a given.
Does make for fun postin', though...

John Paul:
Of course you did no such thing. If you would have read my response to your nonsense you would know that.

I wrote no nonsense, so your quip is meaningless.[b] [QUOTE] slp:

John Paul:
No, the builders left a history. Please present the evidence that the builders and designers were one in the same.[/b][/QUOTE]
The usual nitpicking BS. Are you now going to tell us that aliens 'designed' it? Or perhaps your 'Intelligent Designer' really 'designed' life, but someone or something else carried out the instructions? [b] [QUOTE] slp:

John Paul:
That is a lie but lying is a typical response from you. You should read the responses to your pap (in the other thread) so you wouldn't look like such a fool. (see post 86 slp strikes out, again)
[/b][/QUOTE]
I enjoy reading your emulations of me - using words that I use and so on. Mimicry is actually quite a compliment.
Oh, you mean quotes form "Julie Thomas" - a pseudonym, by the way? And questioning my age?
Since, as others have noted, you lack the ability to understand most of what you link to, I don't see any point in even trying to dissect this nonsense. But you never give up, do you?[b] [QUOTE] slp:
That he simply starts a new thread saying the same stuff over and over when rebutted/refuted is also a given.
John Paul:
That is demonstratebly false. No one has refuted anything about inferring design without knowing the designer.
[/b][/QUOTE]
If you say so...

This has degenrated into John Paul's usual personal nit picking nonsense.
I am officially quitting this thread and this topic in the interests of avoiding the requisite point-by-point refutation that would ensue (and be denied, of course.).
You win JP.
Stonehemge is a prime example of how to infer Intelligent Desing in biotic reality.
Perfect analogy.
You got it.
