Detecting design or intent in nature

[helyott]

No. If something has evolved it is always present in the genes and it is easier for it to emerge again later.

You still get people with tails and full body hair for example.

Here is an article that gives an example of what you are talking about:

reverse evolution found in seattle fish

Knowing that our dumb as cow descendants will have non-manifested genes for smartness is not much comfort to me.

Reverse evolution doesn't mean anything.
It isn't scientific to say that.
Evolution don't have a goal.
It s a concept.
It s a way to explain why there are so much variabilies in "nature " and in human being too.
Why ? Evolution is the constant adaptation to an environnement.
Why are you different from your sister or your brother ? Variability. Is is programmed ?
No. It s just the consequence of a kind of reproduction that can be found in nature.
Some organisms are cloning themselves some of them in some cases can clone themselves, others can reproduce themselves only why sex.

When you claim that an evoluting system can't be created without intelligence. It s not a proof.
It s a claim. Only a claim. You can say it all the time it isn't a proof.

lots of people believe that human kind is the top of the evolution.
But, in fact, if you look at the tree of life, each living organism is as evoluted as the others. http://smanteau.fr/wp-content/uploads/20...age_57.png

lot of people will answer that it's a joke, a tree can't be as evoluted as a human being.

But, trees and plants have more genes than human beings.

Does "evoluted" means adapted ?
Does it means recently appeared ?
Does it means just born the day before ?
Does it means intelligent ?

But when you pretend and repeat time after time and claim that your hypothesis isn't unreasonable, it s a joke. Your are not able to have any true example of what you are telling is true.

There is no analogy betwen life on earth and life simulated on a computer. Life on earth is to life simulated on a computer what a bird is to a plane.

Analogy isn't reality.
It a metaphor.
But with metaphors we don't catch truth.
