You -are- going to waste the next 30 pages whining about evolution, aren't you? How disappointing.

1 + 2 = 3
2 hydrogen atom + 1 oxygen atom = water
You don't get 3 if you 3 + 1 or 2 + 4, you have to 1 + 2 to get 3.
The same way, you don't get water if there are 3 hydrogen atom and 4 oxygen atom or any other combination, you need to have 2 hydrogen atom and 1 oxygen atom strictly = ID
Define ID. Because this isn't the definition of ID, define how you are defining it, and then recognize that it's not relevant to evolution or theism.

You'd better not try and chalk this up to that "curse of sin" nonsense, not if you want to play at science.
a-HIDEY-HO!!!
Why does God create a genome that can't improve? Well if He created one that was in need of improving, then you would be asking why didn't He make it better? Why bother with a coding system? because the fact that there is an intelligible system that we can observe allows us to conclude the designer's existence. If God designed each being individually, then there would be no observable coding system that demonstrates an intelligent creator. Why does the genome degrade? It has amazing capacities to maintain DNA's original structure. There are many enzymes whose purpose is to fix mistakes and mutations. It degrades when we stray from natural environmental conditions. We eat carcinogenic foods and don't exercise. Proper nutrition and physical activity increases the transcription of many enzymes and helps our cells to take care of their genome.
Mr. Hanky loves you!

So..provided I eat right and exercise...I won't evolve. Whew, thanks, I was worried for a while there....

So I eat crap and sit at my laptop all day and that's why I'm growing wings and feel like I'm flying?
Or is that just my extremely high mood (without drugs) + my cray-cray over-enthusiasm?

That's the very definition of FSTDT-worthy.
At the age of five, Skagra decided emphatically that God did not exist. This revelation tends to make most people in the universe who have it react in one of two ways - with relief or with despair. Only Skagra responded to it by thinking, 'Wait a second. That means there's a situation vacant.'

But who can the universe create itself?
How can intelligent creatures (such as humans) just come into being?
It just seems odd that we of all animals possess reason, free will and an actual choice making/thinking capacity.
If indeed there were no God, you'd think there we'd be smell dumb cavemen, same as 500,000 years ago ( or wheneverthe Flintstones took place!!) instead of the graceful human beings which we are today.

Great, this threads turned into a fail magnet. We've got an incompetent troll, an incompetent poe, -and- an incompetent ID'er.

Almost by design. But not so much an intelligent one.
