Again, I have never said intelligent designers did not use some evolutionary process.
I am not arguing that evolution does not happen. I am showing you that it may not occur the way you think it did naturally on this earth and could have been seeded by intelligent design.
Now I have walked you...
"Alien bioengineers would presumably be using ordinary chemistry and medical procedures."
You assume alien biongineers would be at the same level of scientific understanding and technology that you are.
They may have been around for billions of years before this planet was seeded and be so far...
"If life was seeded on Earth it happened awfully early in the game. The fossil and genetic records show a clear, biological evolution ober the past couple billion years"
Probably but not necessarily. The Cambrian explosion shows life could be seeded and generate quickly to an evolved form at...
Whether they believe that is what happened is irrelevant. They both proposed it as a possible origin of life for earth.
Neither denied that theory and it is just as logical (more so) than organic life forming from inorganic materials.
Abiogenesis is NOT Intelligent design:
Abiogenesis is the...
Oh that old game lol!
Where the original designers came from is not known and not relevant. The only thing relevant is if they existed and did seed this earth then every thing you think you know about evolution just went out the window.
In just the last 10 years we have made huge strides in...
" but the point is that we are the product of natural evolution."
That is just your assumption because that is what you were taught in school. I have shown you that Dawkin's and Crick both said intelligent design is possible. If you want to deny their experience in the matter that is fine by...
Already answered above:
Here we go again:
We genetically modify organisms all the time- is that natural?
We clone organisms all the time- is that natural?
You are still assuming an intelligent life form on another planet is at the same level of scientific knowledge that we are and have not...
A wordpress blog with no verified quotes and no links to a source.
Whether Dawkins walked back his statement after being pressured by the science community is irrelevant. He said it and has never denied it.
He did not say it did happen only that it could and implausible is not impossible.
It...
Here we go again:
We genetically modify organisms all the time- is that natural?
We clone organisms all the time- is that natural?
You are still assuming an intelligent life form on another planet is at the same level of scientific knowledge that we are and have not developed ways not natural...
We genetically modify organisms all the time- is that natural?
We clone organisms all the time- is that natural?
Neither of those processes are natural and yet they work and do create new organisms or replicas.
You assume intelligent life would be at the same level we are in our understanding...
We genetically modify organisms all the time. Is that supernatural?
We clone organisms all the time. Is that supernatural?
Neither of those processes are a result of natural selection.
You must be assuming intelligent life would not be way past our level of genetic and biological skills.
I...
"Life either originated through natural mechanisms or magical ones."
Black and white thinking. Can you see how intelligent life on another planet involved with the seeding of earth alters that possibility?
Is that just too much for you to grasp even though Dawkin's said it is a possibility...
1- No where did I say the designer had to be supernatural.
2- Evolution does not in any way explain the origin of life.
3- I understand a theory very well and there are several theories of evolution as you were shown.
4- There is no real consensus on any theory only one that has been researched...
That venue you keep denying would have to come from life on another planet and if there is life on another planet the odds are the same it developed intelligence and it could have been here millions of years before ours.
Peer review only substantiates a hypothesis. Many theories were peer...
OK- if you want to change the debate to your question maybe you should start your own post next time because I started this one.
Natural selection is obviously not sufficient to explain or it would not still be a theory and one of many such theories.
You are aware that there are many theories...
"By magic I mean any intentionality, guided development or design by unetectible entities/forces."
So you are saying that you believe life only evolved on this planet so there could not be other intelligent organisms out there?
If the odds are so against other life on other planets why do you...
"Evolution is an accepted fact of reality by all major scientific institutions and organizations."
Did you hear that people?
This kid that has no background in science has just declared evolution a fact and you all must just accept it. Only he can't even tell us of the several theories of...
