Atheistic Dogma- Scientific Fundamentalism

[Mr Greene]

So again, I posed a question to you all (particularly those who accused me of strawmanning) asking about your level of confidence (0-100%) that there is no intriguing evidence pointing to intelligent design and influence. Only a few have responded, both reporting 100% confidence.

Honestly, I am not convinced that any of you were justified in saying I was strawmanning. I don't think I was misjudging at all what it is that you think. In fact, the assumption I was making (and the comparison I made to my atheist friends) seems to be quite accurate at this point. I have not had a single one of those that shamed me respond that something they have experienced, read, heard, etc has made them question the possibility of ID.

I feel lied to at this point. Like I said, I'm 80% confident in ID based on my observations and the opinions I've formed of them. I don't care if what I shared does not sway your opinion. I wasn't trying to. They're my thoughts and ideas and I was hoping to discuss them with people who do not fit the definition of that "strawman". If I was right, thanks a lot for convincing me that it was possible to get the discussion I was looking for. Sucks to be shamed and lied to at the same time.

A bit of advice for the future, drop the "strawman", "strawman" shaming game at times when what's being said is true. It's misleading.

On the subject of ID, (Creationism by psuedoscientific BS) the principal line of 'evidence' put forward was 'irreducible complexity'.
This was a mildly distracting concept but found to have no real world application as amply demonstrated at the Dover Trial. As such ID has been effectively dead as a concept since Dec. 2005, no one seriously considers it anymore beyond the occasional random who tries to necro it back into unlife...
So yeah, ID holds no water.
On Dark Matter affecting changes to the genome;
In order to affect a change a threshold level of energy has to be supplied to the bonds within the DNA molecule. A prime example would be UV radiation mutating skin cells leading to skin cancer. Note that bright lights do not cause cancer as they do not supply the energy at the resonance frequency of the bonds within DNA.
Dark Matter is hypothesised to have little or no interaction with conventional matter, thus dark matter detectors are built at the bottom of mines to have any hope of detecting a reaction.
It seems extremely unlikely then that Dark Matter would have any discernible effect on DNA, much less act as an intelligent agent.
