The irony is, if a paleontologist finds some stone that looks like it has marks of carving or shaping, it is evidence for the presence of someone who did it.

Sure. Because we can tell the difference between stones shaped by human hands and those shaped by natural forces.

If you find some form to electromagnetic radiation (as in SETI project) you ascribe it to higher intelligence.

Because we can tell the difference between natural electromagnetic phenomenon and intelligent transmissions.

When you find a bacterium in the mud, when just about all forces of nature are against it...the answer is,....

We have only ever seen life-forms created by natural forces. There is no evidence that any lifeform has been created through intelligent design. So, it is logical to conclude that all lifeforms came about without intelligent involvement.

Name one..........please.

And how can you say "there is no evidence that any lifeform has been created by intelligent design?".........don't you mean that you haven't been informed of such a lifeform? Not that "there is no evidence." (That's a pretty absolutist and pre-set statement coming from someone who claims to want to know the truth about things).

You are buried in your belief, and no amount of evidence or logic or reasoning will change this.

One either sees intelligent design in the world, or they don't. Who was it that said, "All I have seen has brought me to believe all I have not seen"?

It is profoundly sad when you see a person who is determined to believe they rose up out of the primordial soup, and that their lives have no transcendant meaning.

What are your answers to: Why are YOU here? Just because things bounced together? No rhyme or reason. Just pure happenstance.

It is this kind of mindset that slides sometimes slowly, but with ever increasing speed into the abyss of foolishness and depravity.
