Recognizing complexity IS the problem. Rainbows are effing complex . . . . to 16th century people. For them a powerful Designer must have designed them.

Its not so complex now.

We've only recently decoded the human genome and are still in the early stages of space exploration. There are a lot of things about life and the universe that are complex and mysterious . . . . so far. But they wont be in the future. There is no need to postulate for the existence of a supernatural god.

Yes, a "God of the gaps" is lame.

We've just now decoded the human genome (this is a rhetorical question). We sent people to the moon 40 years ago and we are still only in the early stages of space exploration (another rhetorical question). I think your statements do more to reinforce my reasoning that life, matter, and energy (considering all of their multitudinous complexity and complication) cannot exist without God.

Life, matter, and energy is part of God.

Meaning?

Meaning is also part of God. So is evolution, and everything else a part of God.

We are still waiting for your explanation.

By all means, explain how Intelligent Design qualifies as a scientific theory when it is not testable, correctable, falsifiable, and does not make any predictions about the natural world or its phenomena.

There is nothing we can't do now that we want to. The restraints are entirely economic and political.

You did not answer the question.

Your question was meaningless. One word does not make an intelligent question.

Intelligent Design Is a scientific theory. It is falsifieable because it relies on the idea of a young earth. The Young Earth possibilty has been debunked. It relies on having a TOTAL lack of fossil evidence, but we have fossil evidence. ID is a scientific theory that has been falsified. If christians were scientists, they would have abandoned ID long ago just like scientists abandoned the flat earth model long ago. ID is dead.

You make questions regularly that you fail time and again to substantiate. I just proved that.

You do not have any fossil evidence linking any two species together, let alone the millions that should exist.

But that is why ID is no longer a scientific theory. Christians refuse to accept that ID has been falsified.

I have shown you at least two, but all you did was insult me in return.

I refuted those. You couldn't even tell me what two species they linked.

Prove it.

It would be a waist of my time, because you would only "refute it". I guess "refute it" means "ignore it" to you.

Why do you even bother addressing what he posts, he is taking the piss.
