Intelligent Design and Why I Don't Like It!

From now on I shall refer to intelligent design as I.D. because I don't like to dignify it with a name. So I.D. say every thing was created and design by on "Intelligent being".( Yes we know your talking about god you don't need to hide it.) Well people such as Dr. Behe a very respectable scientist say that things that are so complex in nature they could not have been created by natural selection. Well why not, something is to complex for your little brain to comprehend that god must have done it. So does I.D. have any so called proof. Oh what, they do,I just walked into that one. So one example that is used for I.D. is the microbial flagellum. Simple to some but it's is so advanced, it has approximately 45 different proteins to make it into a little motor. Well the I.D. crowd says."If we don't understand it then our answer is an intelligent being(God) did it." That is so simple, but hay wait a minute that sounds like Medieval science to me. But why should you listen to the ravings of a lunatic namely me. Well I'll tell you why because I'm right every signal time. This is possible because I like many other sane people trust science.


P.S. If I offended you I'm sorry this is just a dramatized opinion.

Sorry to learn about your opinion which I agree, contained some drama. Well I think your bias in this way, if you believe there is proof for intelligent design, what would that mean? It would mean evolution is false.

Antonio Snider-Pellegrini was the first to propose the theory of continental drift. He was a creationist who got the idea for the proposal from the Bible...

Now intelligent design is different, as it promotes the idea of "specified complexity" which is something like a language as well all know that languages were created by intelligence.

Cells have a language, cells also have transcriptions, and translations, and precise coding in order for the cell to function and survive. It's more highly advanced than any human made machine on Earth.

So would it be possible for two conclusions very much oppose of each other have scientific evidence to prove themselves? Do you believe intelligent design must prove itself at a higher degree than evolution would be required?

Would you have been willing to accept evolution to be false or did you make up your mind there is no alternative but an unthinking process being able to create miracles?

Who wrote this? I can probably guess but I won't point fingers...yet. Anyways, I'm writing this from the completely opposite point of view. However, I see why some people believe that evolution is a fact, with that said, some of the theory just seems like circular reasoning, but more of that later.

What we need to notice is one uncanny resemblance between Evolution and Creationism ( not intelligent design as a whole). This is that they are both RELIGIONS. That's right you heard me, both are religions. So technically, we are being taught a religion in school...

OK, cut the drama and get over your bias that is slowing your brain down to the speed of one outrageous thought per year, I mean come on.

Now I'd like to turn the tables. How do scientists accurately date rocks? They use radiometric dating. Now, I know that not all rocks can be dated like sedimentary rocks, but others, say metamorphic (from lava basically) can be dated. This method is the accepted tool for dating rocks, but it's also seriously flawed. In 1993, Dr. Steve Austin picked up some volcanic rock that had formed on Mt. Saint Helens in the 1980 eruption. Remember, the rock samples they took were about 13 years old. He took the samples to a few independent labs and asked how old they thought the samples were. The dating he received was a colossal overestimate. The youngest labs dated the samples was 350,000 years old while the oldest was 2,800,000 years old. The samples were only 13 years old! How then does a method of dating be wrong. The only option is that this method is wrong.

One final question before I stop:
Why is there something instead of nothing?
Think this over and you just might come face to face with the reasoning of God.
