A rock is not designed - an arrowhead is designed...

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?

Again, what I believe regarding a designer (God) has no bearing on ID theory. - See Intelligent design (again from yesterday)

In the previous thread I also told you ID proponents like Berlinski and Denton are agnostic – and Behe (and others) believe in common descent.

Hey, and also in that previous thread you said you believe human conscience and consciousness ultimately emerged from mindlessness. I’m curious how you trust your own thoughts to be true? Also, where do you think our Constitutional rights come from?
