However, putting the pieces together in a particular order and loading a program that gives it rules to go by, allows it to do amazing things. How is this not relevant to our existence? How is this not relevant to intelligent design?If we dismantle a computer into its component parts, we do wind up with a pile of component parts. When they are assembled, we have a working computer. And yes, this is an example of intelligent design.
How is that relevant to your initial post, or my reply to it?
"Well, evolution is a theory. It is also a fact. And facts and theories are different things, not rungs in a hierarchy of increasing certainty. Facts are the world's data. Theories are structures of ideas that explain and interpret facts. Facts don't go away when scientists debate rival theories to explain them. Einstein's theory of gravitation replaced Newton's in this century, but apples didn't suspend themselves in midair, pending the outcome. And humans evolved from ape- like ancestors whether they did so by Darwin's proposed mechanism or by some other yet to be discovered."
