Surge, you're a pretty smart guy. Maybe you can do what no else so far in this thread has been able to do. Present an observation of the implementation of an evolutionary system which did not require an intellect. If you didn't observe the system being implemented but only believe it was implemented sans intellect as a matter of faith....that doesn't count. Faith based statements do not falsify proposition 1, only actual observations.
All it takes to falsify proposition 1 is one observation. Can you find that observation? If you can't find it can you be honest enough to state that no such observations are known to exist?
I'm sure you are familiar with what a control is in the scientific sence. If I take one batch and split in two, A and B. I do not do anything to A, and change something to B. If B develops a new ability that A does not have, then my change caused B to change. This is basic exeperimental setup with a control. At no point in the experiment do I have to observe how B developed the new ability. I only have to point out that a new ability exist that is not in the control group.
This is what happened in the nylon eating bacteria. You have the same bacteria, one is the nylon waste water and the other is in not. The one in the waste developed the ability to eat nylon. The one that wasn't in the waste doesn't have that ability.
