What is your evidence for this?
The evidence that I believe points to design would be the fine-tuning of the physical laws, which in itself is not controversial; they are indeed fine tuned for a Universe that is hospitable to life. The controversial part is that there was a fine tuner, instead of it being by chance.
I find the argument that it was a chance arrangement unconvincing because the odds of that are virtually impossible; the odds of even one of the many laws being set to where they are at, let alone dozens all at the same time, is already greater than 1 in 10 to the 120th power, which is a greater than the number of particles in the Universe..the odds would be better to win the powerball lottery 100 times in a row.
I also believe the information in DNA points to a designer, because it is a digital code that has an alphabet, syntax, grammar, intended meaning, error correction and storage. The message also transcends the medium, meaning that the code can be transferred to another medium, such as a diskette, and then reencoded back with no loss of information. It is far more sophisticated than any code we have ever developed, and we know that information only comes from minds.
So I believe that these two lines of evidence are very persausive. I did not mean to try to absolutely prove this..DeistPaladin believes in a god so it isn't necessarily an area of dispute between us..but I'd be happy to discuss it further with you
Psalm 19:1-2
The heavens declare the glory of God; and the firmament sheweth his handywork. Day unto day uttereth speech, and night unto night sheweth knowledge.
