The designer manipulate matter. That's what design is about - first the design, then manipulation of matter to realize the design as live beings.
I only want to know, how is design implemented? Like all designers known to mankind do, that is by a work force manipulating matter with material tools/methods - or by his own mind power alone, i.e. magic?
The latter is of course a way of doing thing unknown to human designers so I think it is a reasonable inference to say that Intelligent Design is something pulled from somebody's a$$. |
Joey doesn't understand the difference between a design and the implementation of a design. He dismisses requests for identification of mechanisms by asserting that design *is* a mechanism. |
But Joey's hero... Michael Behe stated, under oath, that there is no mechanism.

| Quote | | As for your example, I’m not going to take the bait. You’re asking me to play a game: “Provide as much detail in terms of possible causal mechanisms for your ID position as I do for my Darwinian position.” ID is not a mechanistic theory, and it’s not ID’s task to match your pathetic level of detail in telling mechanistic stories. If ID is correct and an intelligence is responsible and indispensable for certain structures, then it makes no sense to try to ape your method of connecting the dots. True, there may be dots to be connected. But there may also be fundamental discontinuities, and with IC systems that is what ID is discovering. |
