So, now you’re equivocating definitions of the word “design”, which is another fallacy. Do you think it’s our first go-around with this terrible argument? I’ll give the intellectually honest answer to my own question: No, each individual snowflake is not intelligently designed by a god. We know how snowflakes form naturally. So again, we have stuff that looks intelligently designed that isn’t, like a snowflake. And, we have stuff that looks intelligently designed that is, like a piece of art in a museum. Therefore (again), the appearance of design is not a valid indicator of design, and cannot rationally be fostered as evidence for ID.

Quote:You just want the design argument, which is an inference from what's around us, to be turned on its head. Providing evidence of a designer per se won't even include design as a premise. Orderly laws around us - that make things appear to be designed - require an explanation themselves. And the most reasonable explanation is a personal entity, since it obviously produced personal beings.
Nah, I’m simply waiting for you to present a sound argument.

Lol, what? My point completely decimates the foundational characteristics of your god claim, and that’s your rebuttal? 😂
