Intelligent Design: Did you design yourself?
May 28, 2014 at 6:36 pm
Is intelligent design a scientific theory?Yes.
The scientific method is commonly described as a four-step process involving observations, hypothesis, experiments, and conclusion. Intelligent design begins with the observation that intelligent agents produce complex and specified information (CSI). Design theorists hypothesize that if a natural object was designed, it will contain high levels of CSI. Scientists then perform experimental tests upon natural objects to determine if they contain complex and specified information. One easily testable form of CSI is irreducible complexity, which can be discovered by experimentally reverse-engineering biological structures to see if they require all of their parts to function. When ID researchers find irreducible complexity in biology, they conclude that such structures were designed.

No, IT/Creationism is a claim. Look at the many imperfections of the human body. It leads us to conclude that any such designer is incompetent.

No, it barely qualifies as a hypothesis.

I'm going to assume you mean 'complexity' when you say CSI. And no, they don't hypothesize that, they assume it and completely ignore all the natural examples of complexity.
(May 28, 2014 at 6:36 pm)Artur Axmann Wrote: Scientists then perform experimental tests upon natural objects to determine if they contain complex and specified information. What does that even mean? You still haven't defined what CSI is and yet you're telling us they test for it.

All irreducible complexity means is: 'I don't understand how that came to be so complex'
That does not give you the right to call it god, the correct answer is 'I don't know'

Why do the males of every species with nipples also have nipples? What purpose do they serve?
Why would God design the human prostate in such a way that ejaculation at least five times a week significantly reduces the risk of developing prostate cancer, then command humans not to masturbate, or have sex out of wedlock?

My understanding of Intelligent Design is that an all-powerful, all-present, always-existing magician in the sky created every animal on earth from dirt, perfectly, and created Man in His image. Is that correct?
Can you explain the theory of evolution in your own words, so that I know we're on the same page here?

Oh, great idea!
Why does the laryngeal nerve of the giraffe, stretch all the way down and loops around the aorta, just to go all the way back up the neck to the larynx?
Why did god make wisdom teeth?

Yes, I did.
At the age of five, Skagra decided emphatically that God did not exist. This revelation tends to make most people in the universe who have it react in one of two ways - with relief or with despair. Only Skagra responded to it by thinking, 'Wait a second. That means there's a situation vacant.'
