Your argument is stuck at the hypothesis stage, and needs experimental proof. Who and where is the designer?


If I may comment on that, ID will remain in the hypothesis stage forever, there's no way we can prove something or experiment on that level. The designer is there imo, who and where he is, is also something we will never know, unfortunately.

Agreed. The ID hypothesis is a non-scientific conjecture. It cannot be confirmed or disproven by science. The difficulty is in getting ID himself to see that intelligent design is not science but more like a philosophy or belief.

If there were a supernatural designer, then ask yourself "why did she make so many mistakes"

ID states - "You have no proof that one species has changed into another."

I would like an answer. Is there ANY proof?

Don't agree with the foundation of ID's argument. But the question is valid.


First, evolutionary theory does not state that one species changes into another. This is an incorrect statement of how the theory works. Evolutionary theory states that when external selection pressures are applied to a population, it will select for a sub population with mutations which adapt it to that selection pressure. For example, wolves and chihuahuas are derived from the same species. Chihuahua were selected by humans to be small, annoying and cute over many generations. They look entirely different and would not be mistaken for wolves. Chihuahua evolved from wolves, but wolves still remain a separate species. Wolves DID NOT change into chihuahua. And, given the small number of mutations and time period (several centuries) required to get from a wolf to a chihuahua, its not hard to see that when this process is integrated over millions and billions of years, that it is possible to derive all of the currently known species.
There are plenty of other examples – bacterial resistance to antibiotics, rapid evolution of flu virus, the entire fossil record, showing a general progression over time from simple, single cell organisms to complex species we see now, the ability to relate species through their DNA sequence (e.g. many bacterial genes are similar to human genes) and unravel the exact sequence of change/duplications etc which give rise to new organisms. In fact, the ability to sequence the entire genome of 3 homonid species, homo sapiens, neanderthals and floriensis, who all lived at approx the same time, is a direct demonstration of the how small changes in DNA sequence can give rise to discrete species.

There is no proof that there is gravity but that doesn't prove anything. I do know ID doesn't answer any questions he just throws out words such as the gods created gravity because no one can prove they didn't.

Nobody claims that one species can directly change into another. Evolution Theory maintains that a species can evolve into a slightly different form, and if these small evolutionary steps continue. You will eventually have two, or more completely different species.

The original species probaly would have lived millions of years ago. see A cross between a panther and a squirrel: 55-million-year-old fossil reveals shared ancestor of cats and dogs for a newspaper report.

Yes, I deny that.

I have given you the Father of Intelligent Design a man from uc Berkeley. I have given you all the people who along with this man started the movement. Not my fault the thread was removed and you never read it.

Don't you realise that it is just a ploy to fool people into thinking there is a designer or God controlling life.


Don't you realize As Much Science as The Kiddies Can Bear can been taught Right Alongside a Course in I.D., say, part of A Humanities Class.

You ARE a very intelligent man.

It's called genetic drift.

What I have stated is true.

Most of Darwin has been proven, proven even by my standards.

But this has not been proven. Yet taught as the truth...

You ask the wrong questions.

What is perfect in this universe? Is the universe perfect?

Correct, My point exactly

If I accept this premise: then I must conclude there is no infallible being--hence no infallible Creator.

ID is a mistery, no one can grasp. The truth that is taught is mostly 'stories' we can learn from and that teach us the ways of life to say it simple. Some truths did come out, and were proven though but mostly imo, the books written on ID have to be seen in a 'figurative' way, but very interesting!

I find what you both have said here as a false premise.

I find the Causal Agent infallible. It is not a teaching of Intelligent Design.

I've taught science in quite a few Catholic schools and to be honest it is the same science that is taught everywhere else. i.e. actual science.
