Intelligent Design

[GrandizerII]

What's the next number in the following sequence?

2, 4, 6, 8, 10, ?

12, right? How did you know? Because you saw a pattern there and kept going with it. There was no reason for you to think "no, the pattern needs to change now, so the answer is 13 (for example)"

Now think about this regarding evolution on the macro scale. You didn't see ancestral apes evolving into homo sapiens or some other "macro" species evolving into another species, but we do see clear patterns in this world shown that clearly suggest that macro species do over time evolve into new species through various generations.

Whatever pattern you see in "micro evolution" shouldn't all of a sudden without reason be stopped so that macro evolution never happens. That's just forcing an obstacle here it has not been shown to the case that there is one.

That could easily be used for the intelligence design argument. We see qualities typically associated with things we know to be designed present in life. Should we then dismiss the logical causal link because we cannot prove it?

Those things we know to be designed by mankind, you mean, not by some god whose existence hasn't been established. But we know, most organisms on this planet weren't designed by mankind. So think about my post again please, and tell me what is the obstacle stopping macro evolution from being the extension of micro evolution.
