All around you, you can see complicated items, which have function and purpose. They can be proven without a doubt to have been created by intelligent beings.

Well, you can't say "without a doubt", but you can say that there's strong evidence for the claim.

Please present your evidence which supports the conclusion that the most complicated and purposeful items known (living things) have been spontaneously constructed by time and chance.

You're assuming that living things have an inherent purpose.

Some living things do. In your case this may be debatable.

Yes I can say "without a doubt". You are using a device right now which is the result of intelligent design. That is a provable fact. Intelligent Design is something that is possible and exists in the Universe. Simple FACT. You're assuming that living things have an inherent purpose.

I'm not assuming anything. There are countless "mechanisms" on living creatures which have a provable purpose. Again, you are using such "purposeful" mechanisms right this very instant. Your EYES. They are highly complex, and have a PURPOSE and FUNCTION. They are not simply complex structures that occured by random events and are just THERE. They have a FUNCTION and a PURPOSE.

Show me one thing in the Universe, which has a provable FUNCTION and PURPOSE, which can be proven to be the result of random events.
