[Ethan Clive Osgoode]

I did not say chance events point to the designing mind of God.

Ya, you did. You said they were teleological. Surely you don't believe that chance events are designed by aliens.

So, does intelligible order in nature point to design, or is it just chance events that point to design?

The flagellum developed from a type II secretory system, as was apparently God's plan

Does the flagellum manifest teleology, or is it just chance events that manifest teleology, according to you?

I asked you if you considered it, a question you still have not answered. Do you think that if something is “random” that means it is not directed by God? How do you reconcile that view with Prov 16:33?

The flagellum manifests how protein structures can be coded for by DNA that is subject to mutation leading to variation, and that this variation can lead to a structure that was used to secrete toxins into other cells, into becoming a motility structure. This manifests the grandeur of God’s creation to me, because I am a Christian, so I consider the flagella and everything else to be a manifestation of the will of God.
