    How Much Do You Doubt God's Existence?

    Yes really. iow: the explanation for how / why the evolutionary process occurs, is that those conditions are present. Just like the explanation for why the window broke, is the explanation of the rock being launched into the window when a truck hit it. It matters not to the question asked...

    Irony of the evolutionary belief

    These signs of manufacturing are evidence of carving and stacking of rocks. Not knowing fully in detail how the pyramids were built exactly doesn't take away the fact that the rocks are carved. We even know the quarry location. Yes, but they are not the only carved rocks on the planet. Nor...

    Irony of the evolutionary belief

    If they would do so naturally by simply following their orbits and physical laws, then it would be natural and by definition be coincidental. :shrug: No. I already explained this. Which physical laws are being violated for the universe being the way it is?

    Irony of the evolutionary belief

    I will not watch any video's with obnoxious apologists who make me want to rip my arm off just so I would have something to throw at him. So, is it that you don't want to support your claims in your own words, or that you can't? I noticed that later in the thread you were given a video of...

    How Much Do You Doubt God's Existence?

    Yes. Yes. It's the only thing the explanation has to tell. Why did the window break? => an explanation for the truck driving over a rock which sends it flying. That is the explanation of how the rock ends up in the window. We could go further and ask where the truck came from, where the...

    Is the evolutionary doctrine a racist doctrine?

    Those who would use evolution theory as a basis for their racism, at the very best are using a misrepresentation of it. There's nothing in evolution theory that says anything whatsoever of one species or race or ethnicity of being "superior" to any other. I don't know in how far this is...

    How do you detect "design"?

    In simplistic terms: evidence of manipulation. Like how we can distinguish a carved rock from an eroded rock. Erosion leaves a specific type of trace on a rock. So does carving. And we can tell the difference, because we understand the difference. This is how we can tell the difference...

    How Much Do You Doubt God's Existence?

    1. Doesn't matter to the process of evolution. Regardless of where they come from, evolution is what inevitably happens once such conditions are in place. This doesn't just concern life as we know it. Any type of thing that meets those requirements, will evolve over time. It's inevitable...

    The so-called global flood--evidence against

    Exactly. He just did the same when I pointed out to him how his flood beliefs requires evolution to go at a rate of several dozens of speciation events PER DAY. Evolution on mega super duper steroids. In the analogy to language evolution, he requires Latin to transform into spanish, french...

    The so-called global flood--evidence against

    You don't seem to understand. Small changes accumulating and achieving fixation in a population which in turn leads to speciation over time is how evolution actually works. This results in speciation events spread out over hundreds of thousands and millions of years. But your absurd belief...

    How Much Do You Doubt God's Existence?

    Give your best example. Who claims that?

    The so-called global flood--evidence against

    The hilarious part of this is that to get to all species we have today from that source in just a few millenia, not only do you need to believe in evolution, you actually need to believe in a SUPER DUPER MEGA evolution on STEROIDS. An evolution that happens at a rate many many many many many...

    How do you detect "design"?

    Sure, but that is not the problem I am addressing in the OP. Off course we can talk about the "design of life" in natural terms. But I'm talking about detecting artificial design. Design of unnatural origin. Done by humans, aliens or other designing entities, with purpose, intention...

    How do you detect "design"?

    The OP is quite clear in that the topic is people who claim to be able to detect design in other ways then by contrasting known manufacturing processes against known natural processes. Your post made it clear that you are not one of them. And while I indeed did not mention "intelligent...

    How do you detect "design"?

    Sure, but as I stated in the OP, this is always done by contrasting known processes of manufacturing against known natural processes. The question that is being asked is, how could you detect design when there is NO knowledge of manufacturing processes and NO knowledge of natural processes to...

    How do you detect "design"?

    I'm replying as I read. I look forward to reading about your real examples. But for some reason, I'm not holding my breath. Hypotheticals don't interest me. Having said that, you are wrong. The idea of detecting signals through SETI is fully based on how we humans create signals and send...

    How do you detect "design"?

    Cool, but that is not what this thread is about. It is geared specifically to those who claim that "design" is detectable in the makeup of the universe / life / what-have-you

    How Much Do You Doubt God's Existence?

    It didn't. That's the point. It manifests inevitably as a result of conditions. That's its causal explanation.

    How Much Do You Doubt God's Existence?

    Off course it does. It is what inevitably happens when you have systems that reproduce with variation and which are in competition over limited resources in an ever-changing environment. That's the causal explanation of why this process manifests. It's the inevitable result of these conditions.

    The so-called global flood--evidence against

    My go-to evidence against it, is two-fold. The flood story makes 2 predictions dealing with independent lines of evidence. The "independent" part is important, because multiple lines of evidence converging on the same answer is the best type of evidence there is imo. 1. a global flood layer...
