“Intelligence,” OUT OF NOTHINGNESS!

RE: “Intelligence,” OUT OF NOTHINGNESS!
(May 19, 2014 at 3:46 am)Harris Wrote: No one quarrels on the idea that man (the designer) designs all manmade objects. Logically, this concept is sufficiently plausible to lead to the conviction that behind every intricate structure and complex function there must be a designer.

Nope: we have evidence that man made objects have designers, but we have none that natural things do, regardless of complexity. Snowflakes, crystals, and a number of other natural phenomenon are complex, but you're begging the question of you seek to insert a designer into their makeup despite knowing their natural origins simply because they are complex, as you haven't demonstrated that complexity is the sole domain of designers.

Quote:Mutation, how the evolutionist presents, do not generate the kind of changes that he predict, in fact most mutations are very deleterious, very negative to the organism and hardly get rid of. Those are the concepts when presented to an evolutionist he just kind of slips away.

Bullshit: humans are born with at least sixty mutations, up to a couple hundred, and the majority of them are benign if not beneficial. Ditto with other animals, where beneficial mutations or neutral ones are commonly observed. You're just talking nonsense, here.

Quote:Evolutionist publicise positive mutation to justify evolution. Positive mutation says there is something new and different. Something that would be selected for and not against. However, this is only a postulate not a documented evidence.

Wrong again.

Quote:The entire modern theory of evolution is based merely on this postulate. If that is true then let us see some example. Here we have difficulties because examples are absent. The only examples that are given by the evolutionists are the changes that bring resistance to manmade chemicals like antibiotics, pesticides, herbicides, etc. However, these changes only defend the existing order and function.

It's interesting that you say that when it took me all of five seconds on google to find eight examples of entirely natural evolution, of new traits, with observed evidence. It really does call into question how much you actually know about the topic you're commenting on at such length. Thinking

Quote:You are free to check whether I am quoting out of context or not. Here is another one;

“The six feet of the DNA coiled inside every one of our bodies 100 trillion cells contain a four-letter chemical that spells out precise assembly instructions for all proteins from which our bodies are made … No hypothesis come even close to explaining how information got into biological matter by naturalistic means.”

This quote is an argument from ignorance, as are many of the other arguments you've advanced here. Hardly surprising. Rolleyes
