[Ichneumon]

When you can make a bat out of nothing but elements, color it, size it, set it's environment and design something for it to eat all by speaking it into existance, I think at that point you'll be in a position to compare notes with God.

...and yet, that's precisely what the "intelligent design" folks presume to do. That's the entire *basis* of their "analysis".

Thanks for pointing out that the ID folks are just winging it, by presuming to know what an ultra-advanced "designer" would or would not do, and presuming to make any conclusion about whether Earthly life matches what such a designer would design.

On the other hand, life produced by evolutionary means would result in life with a number of specific characteristic features, and that's exactly what we find. Why, then, do you not accept the most obvious conclusion, which is that life arose by evolutionary means?

Really. You mean Chaos produces order and is therefore predictable in the order it produces. Good. Perhaps you can predict the next 50,000 frames of static on my tv set? Oh, forgot, you were speaking in rhetorical terms - not actual science..
