Intelligent Design: Did you design yourself?

[Heywood]

Now if I never observe a new lineage of life coming into existence via some natural process, but I do observe new lineages of life coming into existence via some engineer designing and manufacturing the initial DNA code for that lineage....I can conclude that the initial DNA code of a lineage is a designed thing.

All you've done is circle back to the same flawed inference. I've already explained why this doesn't work. If all you can do is repeat yourself, then I'm done.

I don't think my way of differentiating designed from undersigned is flawed. You haven't made a convincing counter argument to me that it is. My way of differentiating certainly does not require I know the details of every intellect who might create a thing I come across. I only need to know that intellects create these things....and that nature does not. How do I know intellects create these things....by observing intellects creating them. How do I know that nature does not create these things? By observing nature and seeing that it does not. Now I could be wrong....nature could do things when I am not observing or in a position to observe...so my judgments are not 100% reliable...but nevertheless it is good way to make judgments about the world.

Show me that nature produces new lineages of life and my argument crumbles.

You'd best quit your trolling, son. Just a little friendly advice.

I seem to recall it was people insulting Artur first....and then when he insults back you threaten a sanction?

Not very impartial.

edit: It seems Artur did insult BQ first. I was remembering Brian insulting Artur by calling him a dipshit...didn't see his uncalled for response to Broken Quill when I made this post. I'm not sure why Artur went after BQ but if there was no reason, he deserves to be called out on it.
