Direct quote from AAA out of the most recent "Intelligent Design" thread back in November:
"It isn't without evidence. Did you read the last response where I listed many intricate systems? Can you honestly tell me that it doesn't at least give the appearance of design? Even Richard Dawkins acknowledges that life gives the appearance of being designed for a purpose. He just thinks that this is an illusion. It is not irrational or an assertion to say that the appearance of design may be due to the fact that it was designed. Why do I have to do mental gymnastics to avoid the obvious conclusion to try to find some other answer that may or may not exist?"
He knows exactly what he's doing.
Yep. And that's why I mock and condescend to him. And rather enjoy his "innocent" protestations.
I have no patience for people who refer to a generic chapter title, and use false equivalence arguments that have been debunked here (and everywhere else), and who disrespect the work of those scientists and authors by misrepresenting the claims they make.
People like this deserve nothing but scorn.
You're the one who thinks there is no evidence of design in nature. If you don't like their chapter titles, then take it up with them. They don't believe in intelligent design, but don't laugh when I say scientists think it has features of design. If they didn't want their chapter titles to be repeated, then they shouldn't have called them that. Are you seriously going to tell me that life doesn't have features of design?
