Ultimately, everything is subjective, because observation depends upon the objective accuracy of the observer's measuring instruments. However, if...
Irrelevant. What matters is what the evidence actually shows, not the reason why you begin your research. If you had some evidence of design, you...
Your first paragraph is false, because if a scientist were to accidently stumble upon a physical message obviously intended for an extrinsic...
I disagree. The fossils do more than merely "look" like they descend from common ancestors. The fossils, are radioactively dated to progressively...
Re your first paragraph, if something "looks" designed, you are presuming this because you have some advance evidence to support your speculation...
You mean that if someone handed you a granite block, dug out from under layers of soil which had obvious signs of not having been disturbed for...
It doesn't matter how it looks. It matters what evidence exists to support the hypothesis that something which looks designed, is designed. If...
I didn't respond to your original post -- you responded to mine, so the obvious implication is that you wanted to debate me. Now, you're...
You keep coming back to this argument as if it were insurmountable. To me, your argument makes no scientific sense. You want to infer a designer...

Baron: 1. How many complaints re Z have been received? 2. How many complaints are required to ban Z? 3. If we accept that some number of...
Actually, I'm just playing according to the rules which you have succinctly demonstrated by your conduct over the past couple of years....
Occam's Razor. All things being equal the simpler solution is preferable. Inferring a creator means that you must BELIEVE that most complex...
No, that wouldn't be my position at all. The existence of something does not automatically demonstrate that it was caused by an intelligent act....
Until such time as I can find evidence of a designer, no designer exists -- not as you would have it, the other way around. Do you have some...
I haven't read this thread, nor do I intend to. Has teleologist produced any empircal evidence of a designer? Such proof would be jaw-dropping...
Iron Pyrite forms cubic crystals. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Image:Cubicpyrite.jpg They look like golden dice without pips. I don't infer design...
This is totally non-responsive to my prior post. However, assuming you're attempting to raise this as a new issue, then your response here is...
How many ways would you like this argument destroyed? 1. You presume something you know is false as a means of hypothesizing it as true. No one...
