No , my point about looking in the mirror was that some people, like myself, just find the fact that we exist and are such incredibly designed beings as possible evidence of a higher intelligence.
I don't want you to change any of your views, that's not for me to want. I'm just having a...
And maybe the evidence of a higher intelligence is discernible but you just don't see it. Look at yourself in the mirror, literally. Maybe the evidence of a higher intelligence will be staring back at you.
I'm not claiming there is or is not. But I do see evidence in our very existence that...
Yea, I have studied biology in college as well. That means nothing to me. Some of the most brilliant scientists in biology still believe that a higher intelligence may exist. In fact, their very studies led them to consider this a possibility.
How do you know an intelligence didn't design the circumstances of the environment or didn't design selective pressure ?
If there was a higher intelligence, it would be just that, an intelligence higher than yours or mine. Why do you think you would understand the reasoning and mind of a higher...
As I read your discussion it made me think. In regards to a tree or sun existing outside of the mind, this is a philosophical question which an answer may be paradoxical. If there is no mind to sense the sun or tree, does it still exist ? It would still exist , but only to a mind that is present...
Yea, I get lazy when writing. The thoughts in my head travel faster than my patience to use paragraphs and I just keep writing continuously as I am thinking. I'll use paragraphs next time I write a lengthy response.
Some great insight and research as always. I agree with some of your points and views but disagree with others, surprise - surprise ! But that is fine. I just don't find it a fact that fundamental laws can't be designed. That is your view based on what you believe through your research and...
Your understanding and questions are completely reasonable and valid. They make perfect dense to me. You are not wrong in your understanding of these matters. There is no right or wrong. There is only your understanding and your view and no one can invalidate or negate them,
For your information, I was directly conversing with him but he won't answer my responses .
My conversation was with someone else, not with you or him.
But thanks for the wonderful insight.
What you see as laws of nature I see as design. When you see a tall building do you see a structure or a designed building ? It is a designed structure created by a designer. And when I see nature, all species of animals, the stars, the planets, human beings...I see designed structure that , to...
1.) You claim that the only option is that there is no cause for existence. That is simply a view that you derived at, it isn't an absolute truth. It is just another opinion of yours. We don't know or may not be able to understand the nature of a possible ID or the paradox of who designed the...
I don't agree with any of what you just said, again. It is most definitely a logical matter to me. It is completely logical to view our existence as being designed by an ID. It a is also a matter of reason. It is perfectly reasonable to believe in the possibility of an ID, that's why people do...
This guy is hung up on this FLYING SPAGHETTI MONSTER . It seems to be his go to argument in his lack of understanding in this matter. I see he wants you to answer his ridiculous question yet he won't answer my variety of questions in response to him posting the same question to me about this...
I would say that the fact that anythings exists at all can reasonably imply that there may be a Designer behind it.
Again , you tell people they are wrong or that there interpretations are wrong. I don't agree with many of your statements and views but I never am so arrogant, bold, or...
No , there is no evidence that an ID exists. But I don't understand the Flying Spaghetti Monster analogy. Unless FSM is just a different title of an ID. In reference to an ID , who may be behind our existence , what part does the FSM play ? I'm not putting a physical description of a randomly...
