It's also factually untrue, so long as you hold on to the examples that you have, and this is by definition. You're also trying a bait and switch in this step, between the evolutionary system and it's implementation. Rework 1 and 3 to reference implementation rather than evolutionary systems, then provide an example of -that other thing-, if possible.
2. whenever we observe an evolutionary system come into existence we always observe an intellect involved in that implementation.
3. 1 and 2 suggest that evolutionary systems do not come into existence without the involvement of an intellect.
3 Doesn't follow from 1 and 2 -even if true-.
Quote:If I am wrong, it should be fairly easy to show that I am wrong by simply presenting an observation of an evolutionary system coming into existence without the involvement of an intellect.It -is- fairly easy, that's why I pointed this out to you many, many pages ago, and why many others have found many ways to explain the very same thing with a variety of examples through the entirety of the thread.
