Every post you make in this thread, CDF, is therefore, considered by me, to be cannon fodder.

And for your information, CDF, the definition you provided,  doesn't fit either.  At least not in the context that I meant.

But you already knew that. You were just looking for any excuse to stray away from answering the  questions put to you.

Oh i admit that's a concept i had not considered

What question do you have now?

Just one. Why can't you honestly answer the questions that others have asked you.

I've answered the questions to my ability.

I have a question for you, CDF.

Please tell me about your life, since as way back as you can remember and put emphasis on your beliefs and upbringing, along with formal education.

Also, are you representing some sort of institution, or do you do these forays into forums on your own just for fun?

Damn... those were two questions...

But certainly not to the best of your ability.

I am 39, I have 3 older sisters.  My mom passed away 11 years ago.  I was raised Catholic and I went to Catholic high school.  I always believed in God but then I struggled with that belief in college for a short time to the point I was almost a deist and then I studied DNA a bit.  I earned a bachelor's degree in mechanical engineering (BSME).  I worked for the US government for 15 years as a mechanical engineer, design team leader, and systems engineer.  I served as a facilities engineer and a combat tank engineer.

I do not represent anyone but myself.  I do this because I enjoy discussing this with people.  It is my favorite topic to discuss and this a great outlet to discuss it.  I also like to serve the Lord and do my part to teach the truth to others.

There are so many questions and articles I don't always have the time to dig in deep and research the absolute best response every single time in this discussion forum.  None of us do.

The problem I see, seems to be that you refuse to have an open mind to anything which does not fit your views on either ID or DNA.

While you are so hard pressed and determined to tell those here who have and still actually worked in the field of science that deals with DNA, that they are wrong, it comes off as incredibly insulting. Given that it's not even your line of work, I fail to see why you don't at least take some time to respectfully look at the evidence presented to you by people considered professionals in the respective field. It is, after all, what they do for a living.

But you don't even try. Right out of the gate, you insisted that you were right and everyone else was wrong. So tell me, if you love discussing this so much, why didn't you go to college and enter a profession where you would be directly working with that which you say you love so much?

I didn't know much about this while in college.  That was 10 - 15 years ago.  I started really looking into ID after I graduated.  I don't intend to insult anyone's intelligence or the field they work in.

He has admitted that his whole premise is mere assumption when he said a non-designed universe is impossible. It's a simple question which generally stumps anyone going on about ID. I think the nearest thing I got to an answer from someone was that a non-designed universe would be "simpler", but no explanation was given as to what exactly that meant, or why it would be the case.

You can't get a universe from nothing, not even a simple universe.  This one is super-symmetrical/fine-tuned and definitely designed by a Creator.
