I think I see the problem now. What I believe regarding a designer (God) has no bearing on ID theory. A rock is not designed - an arrowhead is designed - DNA could be designed by space aliens. ID is not concerned with who designed – it tries to determine if something is designed – which is why I gave the examples of SETI and forensic science.
OK, now I'm confused. In the previous thread you pointed me too you said:
Ultimately I believe there was a designer to all...
By all I assumed you meant rocks too.
Or do you think the rock designer is different from the designer who injected specified complexity in biological information systems.
I don't want to belabor the point but it's at the heart of the debate. If everything's designed the whole concept of detecting design is silly.
And I suspect that like you nearly all ID proponents believe God created everything.
Or is it that the designer left his fingerprints on some natural elements but not others?
Is what we're doing looking for things that are designed in a way humans would do it?
Isn't that just a form of anthropomorphism?
