Detecting design or intent in nature

[Heywood]

Woody, please quit with the "atheistic faith" bit. You've been told time and again that there's no such thing.

Faith is believing in something without any evidence to support it. The claim that evolutionary systems can arise naturally, without any intellect, lacks any observational evidence to support it. It is a faith based belief often held by atheists only because their world view requires it. It is appropriate to call it an atheistic faith based belief as far as I am concerned. You can tell me time and again there is no such thing as "atheistic faith", but I just don't believe that to be true.

Are you warning me as an admin to stop using "atheistic faith" or are you simply commenting as a poster here? If I am going to get sanctioned for using "atheistic faith" then I will stop using it. I'll have to bow to Rome. If simply want me to stop using because it you think it is wrong then you just need to get over it and ignore it. I get over and ignore crap you guys say that is wrong all the time.

We've never observed an intellect originating anywhere other than earth. But I blame that on our lack of action/ability to look anywhere other than earth.

Even if you find a million species, all pumping out your pseudo-evolutionary systems, it still won't prove Sky Daddy, or show that any intentionality is intrinsic to the fabric of the universe. That's because all those million species are going to be products of evolution.

Simple observation will lead you the conclusion that one of the things intellects do is create evolutionary systems. In my experience, only intellects create evolutionary systems and natural processes do not. In my experience, only intellects create cars and natural processes do not. Getting back to the original question of this thread is how does one recognize design? Its experience.
