The design of life. Is it an intelligent design? If it is intelligent design, is it conscience? And is this conscience "God"?
Life being pretty much everything.(Atoms, DNA, animals, plants, just all life) I could explain more but I'm sure you don't want to read a three page letter.
No. The human body is riddled with flaws. As my AP bio teacher once said if an engineer were to build our body he'd be fired for incompetency i.e extras tossed in like the appendix or extra stages of chemical reactions like glycol sis.
It doesn't matter what I wonder. What matters is what conclusions are supported by the evidence. ID is not supported by the evidence while Evolution is.
Life is not everything. Only living things are alive. Rocks are not alive. Water is not alive. Atoms are definitely not alive. And there is no need of a designer. Life can evolve into its current state all by itself.
No, such ideas are too silly to consider for a moment. ID is a silly beliefs system with pseudo-science, bad science and illogical attacks upon evolution.
Jo, life was not designed. It happened, pretty much like throwing spaghetti against a wall to see what patterns stick and what doesn't stick.
Categorically and absolutely, there is no intelligence in the design. You say you could explain more about atoms, DNA, etc. - but you are talking to a Ph.D. chemist here. Don't you DARE try to explain it to me unless you are ready to have your work corrected. And I WILL correct you if you post something that is a lie or a bad mistake.
Is ID possible? I don't think so. Of course, being human, I don't know everything either. But my mind and my gut tell me that ID is against the odds. By a huge amount it is against the odds. So big an amount against the odds that I have lived my life as though God does not exist.
Well yes, except that there is nothing that suggest that life was designed. Granted if you just take a cursory view (i.e. you really don't dig in to really understand life or the sliding scale of life to pseudo life to life like things to not living things), you might think that there is a "design", but realistically the more you objectively learn (being open to all possibilities and favoring none), the more apparent it is that there is nothing that remotely resembles any sort of design.
Atoms are not "life", well not in most definitions of life. Of course this raise the question of what life is. In some simple definitions, fire should be considered as "life" i.e. it breathes, it needs food and it reproduces. On the other hand, viruses are not considered to be "life".
Not intelligent design. There is nothing intelligent about genes which cause debilitating conditions if slightly 'faulty'. I don't see the intelligent design in bones made of the weaker metal - calcium - when strong metals like titanium are available. Death and deficiencies caused by our need for food and vitamins - why design bodies with such a need? The inter-dependence of flora and fauna, and the elements and us point to an adaptation - evolution.
Atheists, do you ever wonder?
