Intelligent Design: Did you design yourself?

[Heywood]

Lol. That's it? Copypasta from an Intelligent Design website claiming ID is science?

The point of the quote was to define the concept we are talking about. If we are talking about the concept of the selfish gene....wouldn't we quote Dawkins book, The Selfish Gene?

Your criticism here is utterly ridiculous.

Mycoplasm Laboratorium is a living thing that has certain features that are best explained by an intelligent cause.

It's also laboratory created by humans. Funny you can't seem to find a similar example in nature.

I don't need to find a similar example in nature to prove the concept that certain features of universe are intelligently designed. If abiogenesis is created in a lab, you don't need to observe it in nature to say it exists. You don't need to observe it in nature to be justified in looking for it in nature. Are atheists so afraid of the possibility of an intellect behind creation that they are compelled to try to shut down the idea of looking for evidence of such an intellect?

YWho is to say the bacteria flagellum wasn't designed? Just because a pathway was found that showed it could have evolved doesn't mean that it did evolve.

Except we have substantial evidence it did evolve.

Where is this substantial evidence? Have we replicated its evolution in the lab? If so I would be very interested in reading about it. Right now, as far as I know, only a pathway by which it could have evolved has been suggested. I wouldn't call a proposed pathway by which it could have evolved to be substantial evidence that it did in fact evolve.
