OCD - Obsessive Compulsive Disorder

Since you are willing to allege that there is something "wrong" with my noetic equipment you should at least be able to give an account, in purely Darwinian terms, of course, of the notion of dysfunction in the first place. Something not functioning as it ought to at least implies that it was designed for a purpose that is not being fulfilled. And if as in the Darwinian paridigm there isn't any such teleology since there is no designer, how do you account for and justify this idea of dysfunction or 'disorder'?

The ultimate fallacy of the Creo's is they want physical proof, and when they are presented with it they scream liar and break out with scripture...

Behold, the poster child of ID:

• Water-cooled rotary engine
• Driven by proton motive force
• Operates at 6,000 to 17,000 rpm
• Can reverse direction within 1/4 rotation
• Runs in forward and reverse
• Can self-assemble & repair
• Only 20 nanometers wide

I haven't called you any names, and I have broken out any Scripture. All I have asked for is a Darwinian explantion in the professional literature of what I see as an engineering marvel. Insisting on documentation of a Darwinian scientific explanation for such a phenomena when one is loudly and frequently purported to exist is not evidence of a compulsive disorder.

Cordially,

Touche' (sp). If you are OCD, at least you keep it fed. So what is the engine? I'm all ears as long as this isn't heading toward Moses and the burning bush.

Sorry, there is no official description of the evolution, but this one meets the stated ID criterion as a possible explanation:

Perhaps you'd care to tell us where it is wrong.

I've always wondered what kind of Designer would make His signature piece something whose sole propose is causing agonizing deaths in children and infants. Seems satanic to me.

Behold, the poster child of ID:

Poster of one more failed attempt by ID. You didn't provide the argument but those arguments have been thoroughly debunked.

That's fair enough. So I would like to see your professional articles, or if that's outside your professional area, any professional articles on the origin of the bacterial flagellum.
