DNA Proves Existence of a Designer
RE: DNA Proves Existence of a Designer
I gotta applaud Khem for being really patient and giving this guy every possible chance to dig himself out of the hole of his own making.

It's a very strange argument we're being presented with:

"I can't imagine any way life couldn't be designed, therefor it is".

Even if we removed all of us from this scenario, if this guy's imagination somehow managed to improve, would that make it possible that life becomes retroactively not designed?

Like Khem says, he's fighting himself, and reality, at every point. I don't know if life is designed or not, nor do I care. But I know (with high confidence) that it isn't designed in the way he thinks it's designed.

(PS: DNA can't "show" life is designed when it's already being assumed that everything, including life, is already designed. It's a doubly broken argument.)

No, but I've never seen a 747 reproduce, either. Have you? Since the entire theory of how we got DNA in the first place is based on replication, analogizing it to something that doesn't replicate itself is just an invalid analogy. If we saw 747s giving birth to other 747s, the question of the origin of the 747 would not be a simple matter. What other argument do you have that isn't flawed?

You're really, really, not. What existed prior to the initial expansion is highly speculative, and there is no scientific consensus on what was actually the case, merely multiple competing hypotheses that all fit with what we already know and have math that works. They ought to call it hypothetical physics instead of theoretical physics.

How did you determine that what you're presenting is the most widely accepted science regarding the Big Bang?

You've been educated on how this is a straw man over and over, and you keep trotting it out. How are we supposed to take that as anything other than dishonest? Making a mistake about our position (or rather, the position of physicists) once is understandable; and doing it over and over after we've explained what our position actually is (conditions prior to the moment before the initial expansion are currently unknown) amounts to trolling.

.....lol?  Why a "100 year practice"?  Why not fifty or two hundred or eleventy three.  Is there some significance to one hundred.  What happened in 1918 that you think is relevant to your participation on these boards?

So, CDF’s argument amounts to:

“The world is designed by god because, duh. Also, I’m not obligated to explain how he did it, so don’t ask.”

I can’t believe he hasn’t convinced anyone yet!

At least those facts are facts, while what you call facts are opinions.

I've seen RNA construct itself.

Around here, being reduced to claiming that you're right over and over is considered a pathetic admission that you can't back up your claims.
