Intelligent Design: Did you design yourself?

RE: Intelligent Design: Did you design yourself?
(May 28, 2014 at 6:36 pm)Artur Axmann Wrote: Is intelligent design a scientific theory?Yes.

No, it barely qualifies as a hypothesis.

(May 28, 2014 at 6:36 pm)Artur Axmann Wrote: The scientific method is commonly described as a four-step process involving observations, hypothesis, experiments, and conclusion. Intelligent design begins with the observation that intelligent agents produce complex and specified information (CSI).
Care to define this CSI?

(May 28, 2014 at 6:36 pm)Artur Axmann Wrote: Design theorists hypothesize that if a natural object was designed, it will contain high levels of CSI.

I'm going to assume you mean 'complexity' when you say CSI. And no, they don't hypothesize that, they assume it and completely ignore all the natural examples of complexity.

(May 28, 2014 at 6:36 pm)Artur Axmann Wrote: Scientists then perform experimental tests upon natural objects to determine if they contain complex and specified information.
What does that even mean? You still haven't defined what CSI is and yet you're telling us they test for it.

(May 28, 2014 at 6:36 pm)Artur Axmann Wrote: One easily testable form of CSI is irreducible complexity,
Oh, I was right, this thread is going to be fun.

That is so ridiculous, I cant even.....
They and you, don't understand evolution.

(May 28, 2014 at 6:36 pm)Artur Axmann Wrote: When ID researchers find irreducible complexity in biology, they conclude that such structures were designed.

All irreducible complexity means is: 'I don't understand how that came to be so complex'
That does not give you the right to call it god, the correct answer is 'I don't know'

'You can have all the faith you want in spirits, and the afterlife, and heaven and hell, but when it comes to this world, don't be an idiot. Cause you can tell me you put your faith in God to put you through the day, but when it comes time to cross the road, I know you look both ways.' - Dr House

“Young earth creationism is essentially the position that all of modern science, 90% of living scientists and 98% of living biologists, all major university biology departments, every major science journal, the American Academy of Sciences, and every major science organization in the world, are all wrong regarding the origins and development of life….but one particular tribe of uneducated, bronze aged, goat herders got it exactly right.” - Chuck Easttom

"If my good friend Doctor Gasparri speaks badly of my mother, he can expect to get punched.....You cannot provoke. You cannot insult the faith of others. You cannot make fun of the faith of others. There is a limit." - Pope Francis on freedom of speech
