DNA Proves Existence of a Designer
RE: DNA Proves Existence of a Designer
Quote:Disagree
Don't care 

Quote:Truth be told in that post.
Nope fallacies

Quote:The machine under the pump is irreducibly complex so it is no longer just an assertion.
Nope an assertion it remains and a fallacious assertion at that .
Seek strength, not to be greater than my brother, but to fight my greatest enemy -- myself.

Nah, I;m riding it out.  IDers are some of the only religious folks I feel much sympathy for on account of their religion.
I am the Infantry. I am my country’s strength in war, her deterrent in peace. I am the heart of the fight… wherever, whenever. I carry America’s faith and honor against her enemies. I am the Queen of Battle. I am what my country expects me to be, the best trained Soldier in the world. In the race for victory, I am swift, determined, and courageous, armed with a fierce will to win. Never will I fail my country’s trust. Always I fight on…through the foe, to the objective, to triumph overall. If necessary, I will fight to my death. By my steadfast courage, I have won more than 200 years of freedom. I yield not to weakness, to hunger, to cowardice, to fatigue, to superior odds, For I am mentally tough, physically strong, and morally straight. I forsake not, my country, my mission, my comrades, my sacred duty. I am relentless. I am always there, now and forever. I AM THE INFANTRY! FOLLOW ME!

That's not actually how "musts" work...but..no, for the third and final time, protein transports also have precursor systems in mechanical and chemical translocation.  I know you have google.  Why don;t you do yourself a favor and look it up?

Now....at some point I'll run out of answers....and then the internet will run out of answers..and then the guys with silly letters in front of their names will run out of answers.  "I don;t know" is not a synonym for irreducible complexity, last I checked.

So I;ll ask again, why do you think there are any things x when you can;t provide a single example of x?

The bottom level of the machine we find is irreducibly complex.  Same goes for me regarding running out of answers and the Internet running out of answers,...

You;re butchering ID now.  Being at "the bottom level" doesn;t make anything irreducibly complex by default..and the only "bottom level" in evolutionary biology is the point at which organic chemistry becomes life..far....far....faaaaaaar bellow structures like flagellum or transports, and still farther below the precursor trans, and -their- osmotic precursors.

The only way for something to be irreducibly complex is for the removal of a single item in the system to cause that system to fail. We know of no such thing. Behes own conjecture in that regard was based on a single reference (opf a single sentence)..that he misunderstood and misquoted, and was corrected for by the author at length.

You;re butchering ID now.  Being at "the bottom level" doesn;t make anything irreducibly complex by default..and the only "bottom level" in evolutionary biology is the point at which oirganic chemistry becomes life..far....far....faaaaaaar bellow structures like flagellum or transports, and still farther below the precursor trans.

That's not what I meant.  I meant the bottom level of a functional machine.

The "bottom level" of functioning life is the moment that it becomes life. Whatever caused that reaction....that would approach the notion of irreducible complexity...however, it;s chemistry at that point...so all this machine nonsense would be inapplicable even if you managed to get it right. This is how we know that irreducible complexity ois a failed idea. It;s not that Behe et al picked the wrong examples or candidates...the notion itself is fundamentally bankrupt.

You could ask me "what;s under that...then?"s all night and nothing about that will change.

Romans 1:20 "For his invisible attributes, namely, his eternal power and divine nature, have been clearly perceived, ever since the creation of the world,[a] in the things that have been made. So they are without excuse." Information in DNA, molecular machines, the fine-tuned universe, the Big Bang theory, living system body plans, consciousness,.... His attributes are perceived in the things He made.
