I'm not saying that I believe if the design that is present was performed by intelligent beings, just that there is a design - which has nothing to do with God.
People seem to think that if they admit there is a design then they will be tricked into also agreeing with intelligent design - No they won't. Why?
Because a design doesn't necessarily imply intelligent design as a design can be achieved by random events too.
You're using the word design in multiple senses simultaneously.
Quote:1. A plan or scheme conceived in the mind and intended for subsequent execution; the preliminary conception of an idea that is to be carried into effect by action; a project.
Oxford English Dictionary
This type of design cannot be the product of random events; that's antithetical to the very definition.
1. Please explain how I'm using the word design with multiple senses.
2. I would suggest not to copy paste definitions out of websites. I was scrutinized for doing that in my very 1st thread here. Words like supernatural, atheism and perhaps design are better left alone without copy pasta.
3. I do believe a design can be a product of random events. If I'm wrong then I guess I believe in intelligent design.
