"What do you consider to be the most likely origin of the designer"
I believe in intelligent design and science and one science law seems to answer this question:
Energy can not be created or destroyed and all energy will eventually return to it's source.
When you break down life and all...
Do you believe in spontaneous organic life from non living elements?
If you walk back the Evolutionary theories to their beginning at some point you have to deal with this question.
Even if that first life in the form of bacteria came from some other planet hitched to an an asteroid or meteor...
No what we see from your posts and all the attacks here is that you are very scared of Intelligent Design so as soon as I post you try to hijack it to stop any discussion.
BUT that will not stop me and I will bring you into the light if I have to drag you kicking and screaming from your caves.
See and that shows why this discussion was needed- people like you that can not grasp simple facts:
We have been designing organism for a long time through cross breeding and inbreeding species like dogs, horses, cats and any domesticated animals. It is is intelligent design not natural...
Dance in circles much?
Guess what- without an origin to that life there would be no evolution and unless you believe life evolved from non living elements spontaneously you got a big problem.

How about you stop trying to lump ID into creationsim and the we can have some objective discussions about the origin of life that your evolution theory needs .
Unless you want to tell everyone how life evolves from non living elements?
No I am not favoring ID and ID can and does work with evolution as I made clear in my OP.
Evolution does not answer the question of the origin of life. ID does and may be the answer to life on this earth or future planets.
Your alternative to that is spontaneous generation or transpermia or...
"Purposefully being foolish"
Now you explain how I am being foolish because this forum says it is for the discussion of evolution vs. creationism and yet all I see is anytime someone brings up an idea of an alternative to Evolution you and the evolutionsts here jump all over it trying to hijack...
"Evolution has superior explanatory power"
Great then explain to everyone here how evolution happens from life that did not exist before?
Explain where that life came from that is evolving as you say?
Your theory does not address the origin of that life and without that piece your theory...
I made that clear- ID could address how life originated on this planet. That and evolution working together fills in that big hole that spontaneous life from inorganic materials leaves.
You must first accept that Intentional design is a fact before you can look at how it may have been used.
No- the court case is an example of how creationists have tried to hitch a ride on Intelligent Design because it is a factual science and the result is now people like you try to lump them together.
ID is a fact and is done every day.
"designed by a higher pre-existing intelligence."
No- that is Creationism and to lump the two together is an immature trick to avoid the fact that Evolution does not address the origin of life.
