Intelligent Design

[AAA]

I think that you simply need to deny the design at every turn, and the qualities in nature and life that look like a designed product. It looks designed. Why can't I settle for it happened well enough to do what it does? Because what it does is unbelievably complex and it couldn't just happen. It isn't a lack of understanding the theory of evolution.

That is exactly what you don't understand. Perhaps you never took a good look at the history of life history, as paleobiologists understand it, but from what they can see they believe our planet's 4.5 billion year history is quite more than enough time for life to evolve and become just as it is.

It is one of the most basic concepts. I simply don't think it explains the complexity we find on the microscopic level in life. I could easily say that you don't accept intelligent design because you don't understand the structures and the way life functions, but I doubt that would sit well with you. Take a genetics course with the question of design vs. evolution in mind, then tell me you think neo-Darwinian evolution explains it well enough to satisfy your questions.

You say you are a student in your field now, and most of your elders there disagree. You need to listen to them more, and opinionate less.

It's not that I don't understand with their position, it is just that I disagree. It's not that the only two options are agree with evolution or not understand it. It can be wrong. Here's what I'm getting from what you are saying: Don't question any scientific theory even if it is on scientific grounds. You must agree with everything you are told and never look at the evidence for yourself.
