"premises based on the actual evidence — as opposed to some imaginary simpler cell designer that has never been found."

Fixed it for you.

Oh, I see. So you don’t need no stinkin’ evidence of that imaginary simpler cell. If you can imagine it, that’s proof enough.

You guys with your double standards never cease to amaze me. I’m starting to realize that you guys are beyond the reach of reason.

By the way, the British astronomer Fred Hoyle was an atheist who was absolutely convinced of intelligent design and wrote books about it. So much for the canard that we need to find the “designer.”

One more thing about this notion that design cannot be detected without finding and identifying the “designer.”

Frankly, I am amazed that some people cannot see beyond this little ruse. If it were true, you could not determine that a car is designed until you find the designer.

OK, you say, we know about car designers. Fine. Suppose we travel someday to another galaxy and find the remnants of a lost civilization. Suppose we find evidence of advanced technology, but no sign of life because perhaps it was all vaporized in a massive nuclear war. According to your “logic,” we cannot determine that their technology was “designed” until we find the designers.

The whole notion that science cannot detect design without also identifying and studying the designer is patent nonsense. If you cannot see past this ruse, you cannot think their way out of a wet paper bag. I’d be downright embarrassed if I were that unintelligent. (Pun intended.)
