Unless an algorithm can be made, and a deterministic Turing machine created out of that algorithm, the concept of design remains a subjective property which only humans can judge, like the concept of beauty.

Thanks for your post. I assume you are correct here. But I would have to say that I think some folks are barely human, so to speak, in the regard of human discernment.

(The dullness of fallen humanity ought to be addressed, even if it is a lot like trying to teach pigs to sing. [I assume that this is why Diamond and others have been willing to elucidate the philosophical details of what is already obvious to us.]

My point is that the anti-creation bias which fallen sinners have is profound. It is a problem in everyone, but the most intelligent anti-creationists often prove to be the biggest idiots. [For example, there is a decided tendency for the highest-IQ folks to be outright atheists--despite the obvious fact that atheism is intellectually untenable.]

The whole things is funny to us Christians, especially to us Calvinists [Psalm 2:4].)

From a few of your recent posts addressed to me:

And if you will pardon a little teasing, those of us who do regard the fact of the Creator's existence as transcendentally obvious are inclined to regard you as mentally defective.

In short, I say there is no weakness in me. I would have to say that I am just more reasonable than you are.

As a consistent Calvinist, I feel compelled to point out that I regard you as unreasonable, as wickedly biased against truths which I frankly do find to be transcendentally obvious.

The fact is, you obviously hate your own Creator. And as a consistent Calvinist, I would urge you to consider the possibility, at least, that He hates you (Matthew 23:33).

I submit that we creationists are more intellectually honest than the non-creationists. We are more rational than the non-creationists.

My bottom-line point is that antichristian scientists are not at all reasonable. (This is why I specifically dared to point out that avowed atheists are complete fools. They don't have an intellectual leg to stand on--but the poor fools manifestly don't care about that.)

Although the historical Patrick Henry was not one of the Framers, he was one of the more zealous Calvinists in the Revolutionary period. And I'm afraid that he would not regard you as very wise at this point.

The reason I am quoting you at some length here is to provide a factual foundation for my firm opinion that you are an insufferably pompous, self-righteous, arrogant, insolent, and overbearing bore. Your contribution to the substance of this thread is zero. Please save your precious time and cease addressing your posts to me.
