Otherwise I suggest concentrating on information content. The information in even the simplest organism would take about a thousand pages to write out. Human beings have 500 times as much information as this. It is a flight of fantasy to think that undirected processes could generate this huge amount of information, just as it would be to think that a cat walking on a keyboard could write a book.

OK, so how is that inconsistent with evolution? Directed evolution - intelligent design - with a framework and method of operation set up that allows for evolution?

Fundamentally, ID will always come back to faith, and that makes it untestable, and thus not science. It can be philosophy, which IS important to keep in mind when doing science, but it is not science. I don't simply pray my circuits into working...:)

Now if you'll excuse me, I'm off to watch more snow fall (damn Global Warming all over us this weekend!).

The same can be said of evolution...it is a faith statement. It is not testable. Evolution is a metaphysical statement about the origin of species. It is not science!

You examine various species of animals today, and try to guess where they actually came from...but there is no known mechanism for new species arising through random mutations and natural selection.
