Me:
Are you definitely saying that there are cases -- such as #9 -- where nature could look so much like design that it's impossible to distinguish between the two?

You:
Yes, but only for the specific reason that an intelligent agency can mimic chance and necessity.

So -- I want to be sure I understand your position -- are you saying that although intelligence can mimic nature, nature can't produce something that looks as if it were designed by intelligence?

While I think this is a worthwhile line of inquiry, and one that might deserve further exploration, I would beg your indulgence just a bit further and call a momentary time-out in this questioning. We have one final match before us, and then I intend to step aside for the free-for-all to begin.

So, if I may, hold that thought for a bit, and then I invite you to jump right back in, feet-first ;)
