Intelligent Design, Proof VI - Instincts

RE: Intelligent Design, Proof VI - Instincts
I cite every one of these "Intelligent Design" threads as proof of unintelligent "design." Surely a god wouldn't create followers that can only defend him through pitiful arguments from ignorance.
Even if the open windows of science at first make us shiver after the cozy indoor warmth of traditional humanizing myths, in the end the fresh air brings vigor, and the great spaces have a splendor of their own - Bertrand Russell

Muslim Scholar, in case you missed my post in another one of these thread, I'll repeat myself:

Compile your shit!

There's no need to spam pointless thread after thread. If you fail to comply, I'll do it myself and move the whole shebang to the Humor forum, where it belongs. Devil
When I was young, there was a god with infinite power protecting me. Is there anyone else who felt that way? And was sure about it? but the first time I fell in love, I was thrown down - or maybe I broke free - and I bade farewell to God and became human. Now I don't have God's protection, and I walk on the ground without wings, but I don't regret this hardship. I want to live as a person. -Arina Tanemura

This is another proof of intelligence
God gave instincts more to animals, because they are not fully responsible for their deeds (there is no reward or punishments)
On the other hand god made us responsible for our actions so we need to learn then act.

don't you see that instincts should be more sophisticated in us as we are more advanced, it is not the case.

I agree that this thread is not as strong as the others
I think it should be completed with real experiments where you raise a number of cats without seeing a Scorpion then test them with some with other pointing objects

I'm sure that they still act the same.

Give an example of a sophisticated instinct vs a non sophisticated instinct.

And also tell me why a human would require more sophisticated instincts in order to survive. Considering that as you said we have the ability to learn, learn things like how to use money and supermarkets, as opposed to hunting and gathering food.

It's like saying "well this is weird, we're more advanced than animals yet I can't run as fast as a cheetah and I'm not as strong as a gorrilla, god must exist."

You're just an animal that doesn't need to be as fast or as strong or have certain instincts that other animals have.


Are you ready for the fire? We are firemen. WE ARE FIREMEN! The heat doesn’t bother us. We live in the heat. We train in the heat. It tells us that we’re ready, we’re at home, we’re where we’re supposed to be. Flames don’t intimidate us. What do we do? We control the flame. We control them. We move the flames where we want to. And then we extinguish them.

Impersonation is treason.

More advanced then what? By what metrics? Which instincts should be more sophisticated? By what metrics?

No, numbskull, it's -your- baby...-you- should raise the cats, put -your- little hypothesis to the test, and stop babbling about it until -you- have done so. When you're done wasting your time, I'll be here to remind you that your experiment has wasted mine- and why. This thread is precisely as strong as the others, for precisely the same reasons.

Before YOU start on those experiments you should reconsider making prior assumptions such as the one you made above.
'The difference between a Miracle and a Fact is exactly the difference between a mermaid and seal. It could not be expressed better.'
-- Samuel "Mark Twain" Clemens

"I think that in the discussion of natural problems we ought to begin not with the scriptures, but with experiments, demonstrations, and observations".

- Galileo Galilei (1564-1642)

"In short, Meyer has shown that his first disastrous book was not a fluke: he is capable of going into any field in which he has no training or research experience and botching it just as badly as he did molecular biology. As I've written before, if you are a complete amateur and don't understand a subject, don't demonstrate the Dunning-Kruger effect by writing a book about it and proving your ignorance to everyone else! "

- Dr. Donald Prothero

If he posted it all together in one thread, that would be constituting spam, someone actually got banned for that. So either way Muslim Scholar loses.
