“Well, you’ve been working on it half the night and I still haven’t seen any evidence for “ID.” All you’ve got is random quotes, vague blarney. You haven’t shown a mechanism that connects the supernatural to the natural, much less how such a mechanism would work. This isn’t about “PC,” its about evidence in the physical world, or lack thereof.”
Wow! Can someone really be that ignorant — and advertise it proudly on FR?
Let me start with a quote:
An honest man, armed with all the knowledge available to us now, could only state that in some sense, the origin of life appears at the moment to be almost a miracle, so many are the conditions which would have had to have been satisfied to get it going. —Francis Crick, co-discoverer of DNA and Nobel Laureate
And that is actually quite an understatement. We have no idea how life could have originated without ID. The simplest known living cell rivals the complexity of all man’s technology. Proteins are very complex and very precise, yet the apparatus that produces them is itself made of protein. How those proteins that build other proteins were made is a complete enigma.
Yes, I know that you can speculate until the cows come home about how the protein synthetic apparatus in the cell could have been built up gradually, but there is no evidence whatsoever that that happened. It’s all just wild speculation. Yet fools like you will take even the slightest hint of plausibility of such speculation as “proof” that it happened without ID as sure as proof that gravity exists or 1+1=2.
If you are in the mood to educate yourself on the basics, I suggest you also read up on how fine tuned the basic physical parameters of the universe are. It’s truly amazing. If any of several fundamental physical constants were different by miniscule amounts, the universe and life as we know it would not exist. Fools like you wouldn’t be pulling idiotic assertions out of their rear end — well, that would be the plus side.
