| Quote | To XXXXXX’s essential question: Where is the demonstration that “It’s possible for Darwinian processes to generate life of any order of complexity”?
A demonstration would show a practical possibility. If the science of intelligent design is correct such a demonstration is not practically possible. |
Actually, this does not even logically follow. It would not follow from the conclusion that some organic forms are designed that all such forms are designed.
Worse, Dave has once again smuggled his conclusion into his premise. Dave argues that there is no practical demonstration of Darwinian or other natural processes originating and elaborating complex life. I maintain that life on earth is that demonstration. Dave may disagree, but he can't cite his a prior assumption that only intelligent agents generate complexity as evidence for that same assumption. Once again, whether evolutionary or other natural processes can originate life is an empirical question. And, once again, IDC theory has nothing to contribute to the resolution of that empirical question, nor any other empirical question.
Once again, he's barefoot in the same bucket of shit.
