Such people get quiet when you ask them for examples that have actually been found. Obviously we know that humans produce sentences and we have lots of examples of things humans have produced. Oddly enough, the list of things produced by humans doesn't include living cells from scratch chemistry, nor any fully functional computer simulations of living things. So the list of living things that resemble things known to have been designed is a null set. -------------- Any version of ID consistent with all the evidence is indistinguishable from evolution.

Since that is clearly one of the stupidest things ever said, we must determine whether Sean McDowell believes that he can preach in orbit without a space suit.   Does he believe this?  If so, then I am truly sorry for being so mean to him.  If he truly believes this, I say we send him up there to prove it to us meanie evilutionists. Does he not believe that he can preach in outer space without a suit?  But he said the entire universe is fine-tuned for human existence.  That makes him a liar. Take your pick.  He is either very stupid or very dishonest, or both.  Since you are the local expert on both, I suggest you take it up with him. ps by the way your husband is very charming.  I'm afraid he ran into the same problem you do, namely EVIDENCE.  was fun for a while though. -------------- You're obviously illiterate as hell. Peach, bro.-FtK Finding something hard to believe based on the evidence, is science.-JoeG the odds of getting some loathsome taint are low-- Gordon E Mullings Manjack Heights Montserrat I work on molecular systems with pathway charts and such.-Giggles

Umm, not so fast there, Skippy.  She has to post at least four times before it is a flounce-in.  Right now, we just have a drive-by  FTKing.

She's gonna buy the book "for the kids", and keep the Dembski rube-fleecing operation afloat until the next book. -------------- Flesh of the sky, child of the sky, the mind Has been obligated from the beginning To create an ordered universe As the only possible proof of its own inheritance.                         - Pattiann Rogers

The tags on it are a crack up. Poor Dembski. He has a pack of scrub jays hounding his every move. I love that. You will fail dembski . . . you are just a grown up version of the kid we tied to the leaky downspout during a torrential downpour. We enjoy picking on you because you're such an easy target.

And this guy is summing up ID like this: ID says that *ahem* non-trivial algoritmic systems cannot spontaniously arise. To realise non-trivial algoritmic systems, you need an intelligent designer. How does that compare what Dembski says in his book? PS: And ofcourse, I kept asking if he could actually start talking about biology here. And ofcourse, he won't do that, because according to him everything would just get confusing then. A lovely discussion. PPS: He sums op the theory of evolution like this: A bunch of just-so stories for wich there is A no evidence that it happend "that way" and B no evidence that it can happen. Ofcourse I'de love to respond to the bloke, but because he doesn't talk about biology and apperantly just about sci-fi (that's what it looks like), I have no idea what to say. Ain't those people lovely?
