Intelligent design? Really?

[Huggy Bear]

People mistake being "made in God's image" to mean the human body, when it is actually talking about the spirit.

Ahh those pesky word definitions just get in the way don't they..

An Image is a data pattern transmitted through the eye.

Does your "spirit" create an image that one can see and photograph?

No, it doesn't because it doesn't exist. .. Just like your god.

Yes, and that's the exact definition they had in mind when it was written in 1611.

when you say inefficiency, that implies wasteful. I'll need an example of what you're talking about.

I'll do you a favor and just ignore your very silly reply to me, and I'll list off a few here: the arrangement of human spinal nerves isn't set up for bipedal movement, for one. Doesn't it seem inefficient to just flat out give us the wrong kind of spinal setup? Giraffes have it even worse, with a laryngeal nerve that loops the length of their neck, rather than being a straight shot; that's the very definition of wasteful. Human eyes have a blind spot that octopus eyes don't, for no reason. Dew claws on dogs are pretty useless, for a created animal. Giant squid have donut shaped brains, with their esophagi running through the center; if they swallow something bigger than the hole, they get brain damage. Why do that?

Simply put, reality is too weird to have been designed by something as smart as you're claiming god is. And please, don't go to the same "mysterious ways," stuff that most christians do; squid brains are not, and never will be, an important part of a cosmic scheme.

this requires a much longer explanation than I feel like giving, but I will say this. I believe in evolution. It would be ridiculous to think that Noah took two of every animal on the ark. The bible says he took 2 of each sort, meaning group, or animal family and what what we have today is a product of evolution.

Why they evolved that way? no idea.
