The universe shows intelligent design. I call Him God, as He declares Himself to be in the Bible. With all due respect, you may call the intellegent designer whatever you may wish.

Where does the universe show any intelligent design? Show me verifiable scientific evidence for that assumption.

Well... "Where does the universe show any intelligent design? "

How about the 15,000 chemical processes that happen in each human cell every minute.

Or How about DNA!

Or, how about the fact of the moon's orbit and that with out it, we would have no tides and the resultant O2 benefits and ocean cleaning that results.

Or how about that if we were just 3% closer to the sun, or 3% further way from it, we could not exist.

Or how about the tilt of the earth's axis which allows for the varied climates that allows us to habitate so much of the earth's surface and that with out this tilt, we would have no seasons for growing and that the equator would be too hot for habitation and the poles would be too permanently cold.

Or how about the very thin layer of ozone which filters out the radiation that would normally kill us.

Or how about the human eye. Now there's one for you 7,000,000 rods and 15,000,000 cones that are able to convert light to an electrical signal, send it to our brain, interpret what has been seen, flip it rightside up and enable us to move about in time and space. And we have two of them, which work in concert to focus faster than any human manufactured optics developed so far and are able to discern depth of field. Wanna know what the greatest minds in science have to say about how that "evolved"? Allegedly, an ameoba crawled onto the beach, got a sunspot and it "evolved into an eyball". Wow! itsn't that special! I guess that explains it all huh!?! But how do they explain two freckles evolving the same way? Strange huh?

How about the human brain? Science is centuries away from uncracking the full workings of the human brain! And it's still faster than any super-computer ever made!

Or how about the concept of "mass"? It used to be believed that "mass" would be found in the atoms, but with the advent of the electron microscope, there were found to be great spans of nothingness between the electrons and the nucleus and that the electrons contained no mass. Then it was theorized that the "mass" would be found in the nucleus, but oops!...when the electron microscope was advanced to be able to look further at the nucleus, guess what? They found that the nucleus has no mass!!! Go figure! So what is it exactly that causes us so much pain when we stub our toe, if there is no mass? Don't ask science, because they still haven't found what constitutes the "mass" in the universe around us. Again, this from the "best minds in science"!

Or the balance of centrifigal force verses gravitational pull, that keeps this blue marble from either falling into the sun and burning up, or from being thrown out into the blackness of space to freeze up like a giant iceball (being a radioastronomer, I'm rather surprised that you could miss that obvious last one!).

Every one (and a million others) of these systems are required for life to exist on this planet. If one of them fails, life perishes.

Well, that is a short list of the things around us that point to intelligent design with a purpose. I don't need "evidence" to support what is obvious in observation. The truth is that there is more about the universe that science doesn't know that it can ever hope to know.

"The heavens declare the glory of God; and the firmament sheweth his handywork". ("handywork", in the original language, lit. "his fingerwork"...He did it all with his fingers! How cool!) Psalm 19:1

"For by him were all things created, that are in heaven, and that are in earth, visible and invisible, whether [they be] thrones, or dominions, or principalities, or powers: all things were created by him, and for him: And he is before all things, and by him all things consist." Colossians 1:16-17

You also asked;"Show me verifiable scientific evidence for that assumption."

The burden of "proof" isn't upon me, it's upon you, for I freely admit that my position is based upon faith in God, as revealed in His Word, confirmed in the universe around us and by the tesimony of His Spirit upon me, not scientific fact. You however trust in science, that evolution is fact. So you are the one that needs to substantiate your argument with scientific fact, for that is the methodology that you have chosen to substantiate your views and upon which you have placed your confidence. Since I don't reason by your same principles (science), I am not subjucated to you reasoning. I need only rely on the Word of God and what His Spirit writes uon my heart; then walk by faith! Turn to Him and be saved!
