I am a Christian; but I don't hold positions. Perhaps a better way to phrase it is that I'm not a skeptic.

Except for when it comes to evolution, lol. If you are a Christian, then you hold the position that a man was the son of a god, died, and then came back to life three days later to save our immortal souls, based on a two thousand year old book of alleged hearsay. If only you were as critical of your own admitted position as you are of observed and repeatable evolutionary biology.

Yup, if only I were as critical, then perhaps I'd be an atheist that still has the same issues with evolution.

Maybe you would, but at least you’d be rid of one unwarranted belief about reality. But, you aren’t going to do that, because you’re starting from the unwarranted belief and working backward from there.

You guys should just stick to preaching the faith. At least it’s honest work.

How, exactly, did you determine that?

I didn't determine anything, I'm just reminding you of what the word "god" usually means. It usually means an all-powerful being, all-powerful automatically means : doesn't need anything.

You have neither. You’re simply looking around at reality and saying, “wow!”. That’s not evidence or an argument. Why am I convinced cars are designed, Klorophyll? Because, there exists evidence of engineers, and engineering; design plans and the folks who wrote them, and evidence of how they wrote them; because I can walk into an automobile manufacturing company and watch manufacturing employees putting cars together using various parts; because when my car breaks, I can bring it to the repair shop and watch the auto repair guy diagnose and replace the broken part. You have no such evidence for tuning, or a tuner; for a designer or design. No mechanism; no nothing.

Okay. So if there was no way for you to walk into an automobile manufacturing company (let's suppose the latter is in some distant galaxy, casually sending us cars by some mysterious means science didn't discover yet) you would still be certain cars must be designed, right?

So we're left with two options then : infinite regress or a necessary first cause. Disagree?
RE: The code that is DNA
You saying that I have not defended my assertions is bogus, while Sungula keeps saying Tour uttered a strawman and then runs away
Oh and 40000 fly generations have produced nothing, thank you lenski
RE: The code that is DNA
I don't know anything about what fly experiment anyone is talking about. But I do take issue with Mister Agenda's linear approach to generations. If each generation produces x number of offsprings, then the number of trials evolution is being given to produce anything other than flies grows exponentially with each generation.

A mechanical device is obviously designed, a biological one, especially one as flawed as humans, not so much.

Even if there was a first cause, it doesn’t mean it was a god or your god. It doesn’t even necessarily denote an intelligence.

Everything we see in nature and the lab indicates a natural order to things that came about over billions of years, despite what books of myth say.
Dying to live, living to die.
