So, one more time...what makes you think that you're more like a 747 than a rock or dna? All three are designed items. One item is the type of designed item you need to make your case; the inference from design. Why, in your estimation, are you more like that item than the other two?

Also, he appears to be assuming his conclusion by just stating the whole universe is designed. Given that, he's precluded any possibility of having something non-designed to compare to.

What would a non-designed universe look like, I wonder? One where almost 100% of it was lethal to its life forms I suppose.

No such thing.  That's a fairy tale for atheists.  You can't get everything from nothing.

Not a problem for evolutionary biology, regardless...as it;s what happens to something.

So, one more time...what makes you think that you're more like a 747 than a rock or dna?  All three are designed items.  One item is the type of designed item you need to make your case; the inference from design.  Why, in your estimation, are you more like that item than the other two?

Again, the human body is like DNA, highly specific and complex both, like the 747 and unlike the dumb rock.

Complexity and specificity are uninformative..the dumb rock is also designed..remember? I;m asking you a fairly simple question..and it;s completely within the remit of the limits of your faith. I don;t see why an answer is impossible to tease out.

Do you or do you not believe that you are designed just as a 747 is designed, and -not- in a way similar to how a rock is designed?

He is like Rik, but with less sophistication and specificity. So perhaps he is more like a rock to rik’s donkey.
