What does "formerly applied" mean? I'm not trying to be difficult, your use of words is very strange to me. I've never heard anyone use "design" without some sort of intelligence doing the designing; it's a verb. At least some sort of agent.
What is the noun associated with the verb "design"?
"A design" usually means the result of an agent doing a design. Even if the agent isn't sentient, there's still an agent or else there is no verb.

I don't know what or who that agent is.
That's why I stick with just "design".
(AHA! So you do agree that there is a design)

If by an unconscious Big Bang spewing out plasma randomly you mean design, then yes!
But you are not using the term correctly.

Did you even read rob's post? Or did you cherry pick the last sentence?
"There remain four irreducible objections to religious faith: that it wholly misrepresents the origins of man and the cosmos, that because of this original error it manages to combine the maximum servility with the maximum of solipsism, that it is both the result and the cause of dangerous sexual repression, and that it is ultimately grounded on wish-thinking." ~Christopher Hitchens, god is not Great

Its looking like that.
There has yet to be a creationist/design proponent that I have met that has shown even a high schooler's understanding of evolution, and usually that's intentional. (I was going to make a design pun here, but pool might cherry pick that, too.)

Jesus christ, who cares if god does exist..still doesn't have anything to do with evolution. These two conjectures of yours, that god exists and that ID is really, really real...they aren't connected. You don't have to belive in ID..just because you believe in god.....and if you could demonstrate ID, which you can't...you still wouldn't have demonstrated a god. Have a little fucking respect for your own beliefs, and stop turning your god into a running joke, shitposter.

Quote:Formerly defined parameters for execution. -> Design
"This is how particles interact,period." -> Design
Do you understand what I mean now?
Formerly in the sense that the parameters were fed before the execution.
Or to speak in normal tongue - "This is how particles interact,period" existed before the big bang

"This is how particles interact" existed both before the particles existed, and before the event that determined how they would react existed? GL with that.

"This is how particles interact" existed before the big explosion. It makes sense because before the big explosion there were particles and they'd have to follow the "This is how particles interact" for the explosion to take place in the first place
