You can't remember what Morton's Demon never lets in.
Indeed it does - it takes millions of tries each and every single year, during the time frame of billions of years. And with a selection process that is able to weed out ever so slightly less successful models.
Prov 11:14
Where no counsel is, the people fall: but in the multitude of counsellors there is safety.
What a help the word is! All glory goes to God!
Yeah, because just think about how lost God would be without "science".
We can imagine a lot of things, some clearly impossible, some plausible.
What is the "intelligence" in planets creating perfect spheres? It's the need of things to go downhill; when everything is as downhill as it can be, it's a sphere. What is the "intelligence" in turning moths dark brown when pollution goes up, and turning them white when it goes down? Nothing, unless birds eating only the bugs they can see constitutes "intelligence." The need is merely that the birds don't want to starve, and eat moths, which they locate by sight.
Are you tripping too hard over "imagine?" Should I have just said "think of?" You tell me you don't see how the Old Man of the Mountain could have formed or been destroyed without design. I can think of ways in which both could have happened without design.
But let's stay with "imagine." You say something can't happen without guidance. I imagine otherwise. I give you a scenario which is all physics and chemistry, no intelligent being stirring the pot. If it's on one of these threads, your next line is "What's the PROOF of that?"
ID-ers could just skip the whole first step, the attempted proof by failure to imagine, but then I guess guys like Behe would be out of business.
Yup, they do, and your point that they did was your inability to answer the following question:
So what parts can we have life without?
Post# 34.
The facts in those articles are all pretty essential to life. So yes, they could not have arisen piecemeal. As I have often stated there are quite a few essential life functions. They all have to be present for life to exist. They could not have arisen piecemeal.
You see the problem with evolutionists and why evolution is not science is that they think that the different functions of life are not related and thus you can build things up like a house of blocks. You cannot. You need numerous parts to have life be life.
Nothing you have the wit to value, and it was already gone.
Let's hope not.:-) This is still America as long as Americans stand for freedom and the pursuit of truth.
