The premise of the theory is:

Your sad attempt at misdirection is duly noted. |
Why do you keep trying to use words, Gary? They obviously are too hard for you. Look at the the words you flopped in front of natural selection: such as. That indicates that natural selection is but one of a number of undirected processes that you think your "intelligent cause" is better than. You've offered zero evidence of that, but fine.
My point is that I am not talking about the things you think "intelligent cause" is better than. I want you to please list the "features" for which "intelligent cause" is not a better explanation. Your "premise" claims that "certain features...are best explained by intelligent cause".
Why only "certain features"? Why not all features? If it is all features, why the generalization "certain"? If it isn't all features, why won't you tell us which features aren't included?
Please answer these simple questions. The fate of Intelligent Design rests on your answers. |
Limiting the premise to only "certain features" made the premise relatively easy to test true.
If the premise had said "all features" then even gravity would need to have an "intelligent cause". In that case I would not have even bothered with it.
FYI, now in the news scientific hypothesis regarding "certain features of the universe":

Where or what is the "scientific hypothesis" in that piece? Do you not know the difference between hypothesis and speculation?
