Intelligent Design: Did you design yourself?
RE: Intelligent Design: Did you design yourself?
As long as you cannot reliably and objectively define and measure "CSI" and as long as you cannot demonstrate the existence of an intelligent designer, it is still more likely that we have come about by natural means.

Quote:Now unless some new development happens, like we observe a new lineage of life emerge from natural processes, in the near future theists will be able to claim that our lineage of life is the product of intelligent design, because in our experience lineages of life only come into being via intelligent design.

The amount of wrong in this is painful. If they claim that, then they HAVE to demonstrate that there was a designer behind the appearance of life on earth.
Besides, we have examples of natural processes generating new lineages of life.

"Every luxury has a deep price. Every indulgence, a cosmic cost. Each fiber of pleasure you experience causes equivalent pain somewhere else. This is the first law of emodynamics [sic]. Joy can be neither created nor destroyed. The balance of happiness is constant.

Fact: Every time you eat a bite of cake, someone gets horsewhipped.

Facter: Every time two people kiss, an orphanage collapses.

Factest: Every time a baby is born, an innocent animal is severely mocked for its physical appearance. Don't be a pleasure hog. Your every smile is a dagger. Happiness is murder.

Vote "yes" on Proposition 1321. Think of some kids. Some kids."
