I'm glad we got that out of the way.
Quote:Actually, there is plenty evidence for a designer. Scientists have confirmed that there are people of various Religions who have worked miracles. Very seldom does it happen and few people will witness it. I'd say what happened at Fatima Portugal, the Guadalupe tilma, and the medical findings at Lourdes and eslewhere are evidence.
Hold on, man. References please, don't just assert this. Show me some mainstream, peer reviewed scientific findings on this. That point to god, not just "unknown cause," because that'd be an argument from ignorance.
As it happens, I'm familiar with the first two examples you gave; in Fatima, random witness testimony that was only reported and never recorded isn't exactly the best kind of evidence, and as for Guadalupe, as I mentioned before that hasn't been allowed an actual scientific investigation in decades, and even when there was one the determination was never that it was a miracle.
What do the people holding this thing back have to hide?
Quote:The beauty of creation.
The Earth's size and corresponding gravity holds a thin layer of mostly nitrogen and oxygen gases, only extending about 50 miles above the Earth's surface. If Earth were smaller, an atmosphere would be impossible, like the planet Mercury. If Earth were larger, its atmosphere would contain free hydrogen, like Jupiter.
So? Saying something is one way and if it was another it'd be different isn't much of an argument for anything unless you can somehow show that the planet being the way it is was made as a "success" state it could have failed to form in.
Quote:The Earth is located the right distance from the sun. Much closer or further away and we'd freeze or burn.
The earth is on an elliptical orbit, and its distance from the sun varies by many millions of miles depending on the time of year without ill effect.
Quote:our moon is the perfect size and distance from the Earth for its gravitational pull.
Again, so?
Quote:Also, when I bite into a strawberry it seems like that strawberry was designed to delight tastebuds.
Actually? It was evolved to delight the tastebuds. You do know fruits have a purpose, right? They're seed carriers; animals take the fruits and eat them, hence spreading the seeds when they pass out the other end. The fact that they taste and look good is an evolved trait to entice you to eat them and hence spread the seeds.
Quote:THe problem I have is that tor said is that DNA proves that our grandparents way back were single cell organism. DNA PROVES no such thing. Scientific theory is not proof so I wish people wouldn't state it like it is and then considering people uneducated idiots if they disagree.
The idea of a common ancestor is an inference made based on the information we have; we know evolution happens to every species on the planet, we've got constructed lineages of many species that show common links to other species in the past... why would we not then logically conclude that this principle, which is all we observe in nature, is also true at its largest possible resolution?
