The Problem with Christians

[Jenny A]

Imagine the blue prints for a skyscraper interleaved with schematics of huts and wooden trusses misspelled or misdrawn, with notes to ignore the interleaved material.  Because that is how genetic blueprints work.

Why it's almost as if the design of living orgaanisms is needlessly complex due to common decent without the ability to remove past mistakes, features, or instructions except gradually through many generations.  

Actually in programming and prints for machine controls, I see this quite often.

And that is because of reuse of instructions right?  There  is a common descent of the prints and/or instructions.  Add that the included extraneous material goes back a millennia or three and is gradually  corupted over time in lineages (not cross the board based on  time without reference to relationship).  And add,as you chose ignore that  innovations outside each lineage are not transferred between lineages and decent is obvious.  

Lack of a designer is obvious for other reasons.  Suppose various machines, a sewing machine, a roto tiller, an air compressor all began as pedal powered.   The gas motor is later used for sewing machines] but ]sewing machines retain a useless small pedal system and contain blue prints for a working pedal system.  The roto tiller also retains pedals but becomes electric and never uses gas engines.  The newer air compressors become wind  powered but only after first being electric. All have inoperative pedals and the air compressor has an inoperative electric motor.  Designers don't work that way, but heredity does. 

Or as in my example, that you chose to ignore,  suppose TV screens never did away with vacuum tubes and gradually perfected them but computer monitors developed other technology that never spread to TV screens?  Add that computer monitors retained useless little non functioning vacuum tubes even as they became LED.   Would an engineer include vacuum tubes in a flat screen monitor?  Hooved mammals still have five toes hidden away.  You still have a tail bone but no tail. Is that a thing a designer would do?

Human designed machines show evidence of reliance on previous  innovations, but pass that knowledge from application to application.  Self oiling machines s[/size]tart with locomotives,  but designers transfered the idea to all kinds of enigines gas, steam and electric, not just new trains. Though new radios are sometimes designed to look nostalgic, the nostalgia is tacked on not hidden away in deep design.  Old timey radios may have knobs for show, but they don't have non functional knobs hidden away inside next to solid state tech.  Biology innovates but knowledge does not pass outside of descent lines.  Useless parts from the past retained in newer designs is the norm and that norm is not for show, it's under the biological hood deep in bone and tissue. 

If there is a designer of biology, he is curiously unable to transfer ideas from one family of animals to another and inordinately drawn to retaining inopperative physical references to old designs within the same family.  And he includes many parts which can be disposed of without loss of function.
