That would make it EXACTLY like evolution.

Only in a narrow sense, on narrow terms, upon which any reasonable being would agree. The notion of an amoeba-to-man biological history is hardly as certain as atomic theory. The notion of matter organizing itself apart from intelligent design is a philosophical one.

Eyewitness testimony, as has been pointed out to you repeatedly, is NOT a very reliable method to do science.

It's better than nothing, which is what the philosophy of evolution has in attempting to support a 4.5 billion year old earth via eyewitness testimony and records written in human language. Interpreting a static record hardly qualifies as eyewitness testimony.

Why do you bother on these threads Fester?

It might be because 150 years of Darwinism masquerading as science merits a response other than silence. It might be because I find the subject interesting. It might be so I can learn the tenacity with which the philosophy of evolutionism clings to its place in the science classroom though it does not deserve a place there. It might be all of the above and more.

So basically, you believe that every single one of these...

...is personally assembled by God Himself. Or maybe that he delegates a little angel to oversee construction, I guess.

Matter "organiz[es] itself apart from intelligent design" every minute of every hour of every day, Chester. But you don't want to see that, and claim that the very idea is somehow a declaration of faith.
