And that "obvious purpose" is?

No, no, no Black, this is your baby, don't ask questions, offer explanations, provide evidence.
I am the Infantry. I am my country’s strength in war, her deterrent in peace. I am the heart of the fight… wherever, whenever. I carry America’s faith and honor against her enemies. I am the Queen of Battle. I am what my country expects me to be, the best trained Soldier in the world. In the race for victory, I am swift, determined, and courageous, armed with a fierce will to win. Never will I fail my country’s trust. Always I fight on…through the foe, to the objective, to triumph overall. If necessary, I will fight to my death. By my steadfast courage, I have won more than 200 years of freedom. I yield not to weakness, to hunger, to cowardice, to fatigue, to superior odds, For I am mentally tough, physically strong, and morally straight. I forsake not, my country, my mission, my comrades, my sacred duty. I am relentless. I am always there, now and forever. I AM THE INFANTRY! FOLLOW ME!

Well, you worthless little son of a bitch. Come back to the table when you have cards to play. This pretty much sums up my thoughts about ID.

@ Black How can you be sure that it wasn't, do you have any evidence?

Wasn't what? I don't follow.

Oh yeah, absolutely, lets start with those. So, this design then?

Might take me awhile to respond too, now that you have me thinking about reproductive organs-

Evolution - Vast fossil records and variation in billions of species around the world
ID - We think god did it.

Variation proves........ ?

You are like a child..

Okay you start with a hypothesis. You then begin to gather the evidence. Fossil records show a gradual process where by species change over time. You also have modern species with the same ancestry as those fossils which have millions of varying traits and species and we see the ones that suit their environment live to reproduce and passing the positive traits on. So we can see how it has worked up till now.

With the observations and evidence scientists are able to say that it is a theory because it is supported by overwhelming evidence.

Meanwhile ID you say "Look.. Stuff is here therefore god did it!"

If stuff wasn't here we wouldn't be around to have the fucking conversation!

There is no evidence for ID so its a Hypothesis aka an idea. And as with all ideas unless you give a good reason why your idea is right you should be ignored.

If not, how did they appear, work together perfectly, and how did the organisms know how to use them properly?
