Evolution is part of the implementation of the design to an extent (there is some change over time).
Yes, there is. And scientists have found that the code which pairs signs with meanings continued to develop over time, at least early on.
I'm nothing like an expert on this subject, so if you want to delve into it at any depth, I recommend you look up biosemiotics or Howard Pattee.

None of the defenders of ID ever produce evidence for their claims. All they have is arguments from their own increduloty and ignorance.
On the other hand they oh so easily believe a magic thinguie created them. I believe it makes them feel special, chosen by a deity that is nothing but their own superego.

What "order of magnitude" exactly are you talking about ?
Provide a grading system for the orders of magnitude you are talking about.
Oh wait. You don't have one.
You have been asked time and again to provide examples of lower magnitude that don't require a designer.
As has been explained to you, also time and again, the process was not "random".

Atheism - Intelligence evolved from non-intelligence
Christianity - Fluid intelligence was created by a Source of super intelligence
Atheism
Non-intelligence > Intelligence
Christianity
Super intelligence > intelligence

So... following this logic, one needs also
Hyper intelligence > Super intelligence > intelligence
But then, too
Mega intelligence > Hyper intelligence > Super intelligence > intelligence
Which, by inference, leads to the dreaded infinite regress problem.

1. Define in detail what "super intelligence" actually is, EXACTLY.
2. Describe (using no temporal words or concepts) how intelligence works in a timeless environment.
Take your time.

Why do you need an infinite regress?
A is self-sufficient. You can go to B without moving backwards.

Not really an account though is it.
It just says god did some stuff but does not say how or why just that he did some unlikely things.
Oh and who was writing this shit down?
It doesn't give any provenance to the writing or how they knew the stuff it just goes straight into it and all of it contradicts what is actually known about how the universe operates. So forgive me if I find it silly.

Except they didn't. The argument is that the prophesies that "came true" were written after the events and all the ones that were supposed to happen later, didn't.
People like to change history to validate now. Look at Trump and the wall for someone trying to change the past to match the present.
https://infidels.org/library/modern/chri...aniel.html
Quote:Whenever critical scholars point out that Daniel's purported predictions were written after the fact, Christian believers routinely retort that they are merely showing a philosophical prejudice against the possibility of supernatural prophecy. Actually, it is not a question of philosophical presuppositions, but a question of hard evidence and inference to the best explanation. Daniel's "predictions" of events up to the desecration of the Temple in 167 BC and the beginning of the Maccabean revolt substantially came true--yet its predictions of a new invasion of Egypt by Antiochus and the Resurrection of the Dead soon thereafter totally failed. The author correctly "predicted" the rise of Alexander the Great, and the history of the Seleucid and Ptolemaic kings, but he fared far worse in his predictions that God would supernaturally slay Antiochus Epiphanes, raise the dead, and inaugurate the messianic age in 163 BC. The most likely explanation of this strange pattern is that these prophecies were first composed just before the time they started to fail by an author who had no genuine talent for predicting the future.
To cite a parallel example, the Book of Mormon prophets, who purportedly flourished between 600 BC and 400 AD, supposedly gave explicit predictions about Jesus Christ's career in first-century Palestine (Helaman 14 et passim), Christopher Columbus' discovery of America (1 Nephi 13:10-12), the Revolutionary War (1 Nephi 13:15-19), and Joseph Smith's prophetic career in nineteenth-century America (2 Nephi 3). However, the book is totally silent about events after 1830, the year the book was first printed. The most likely explanation is that the book was Smith's own composition, and a heavy burden of proof lies on Mormon apologists to prove otherwise. And the exact same reasoning applies to the prophecies of Daniel.
Moses wrote Genesis as inspired by God.
Daniel is a Book of inspiration from God and the future is foretold in detail with total accuracy. The Mormon book was not inspired by anyone but Freemason Joseph Smith.

Things are either designed or not. Either a Creator created them or it's a random event. Natural processes are just that. Un-directed processes.

Not when you have one primordial supreme super intelligence as the Bible claims.

Exactly, there is no infinite regress problem with a supreme being outside the boundaries of this universe.
