Who cares? You may as well ask us what kind of ice cream we like, for all the relevance it has to the subject. What, now "legitimate science" to you must include fortune-telling?

But okay, I'll play along… I.D. would predict that humans will never evolve into any other species. And oh yeah… Darwinist evolution will be completely abandoned within the next 20 years. How's that for a prediction? (he, he)

This has been answered numerous times, but I'll answer it again, and then you'll continue to claim it has never been answered and the I.D. is "untestable":

I.D. could be disproven, or at least "non-supported", if no similarities could be found between the things that humans with intelligence produce and the systems which are found in living organisms. I.D. can be "tested" by making elementary comparisons between living organisms, the complicated integrated systems found within them, and man-made (intelligence) machines and the complicated integrated systems found within them.

There are so many similarities, so many comparisons, that I can fully understand why Darwinists wish to pretend we've never answered this question.

One example is DNA, which is widely accepted to be a system of language, built upon a common set of rules or conventions (universal genetic code) which carries instructions for what proteins to produce and when in order to build and operate a living organism.

We know quite a bit about this… every complex system that intelligent man creates—from buildings, to cars, to airplanes—requires a set of instructions (utilizing language) for building, operating, and maintaining them. Man is intelligent, these are things intelligence produces, and within the living cell we find precisely the same thing (albeit in a different form). Therefore, the hypothesis that living organism were designed by an intelligence is supported, and supported quite well.

Done. Now, let the pretending begin.

Hypography?

Hypography [n.]: A combination of "hyperlink" and "bibliography" - ie, a list of links to electronic documents. Comparable to discography and bibliography, but not cartography.

We have been online since May 2000, and aim to be the best place to find and share science-related content of all kinds.

Share the love!
