Yes embrace intelligence. REAL intelligence. In other words, think intelligently rather than appealing to magic. Intelligent thought pretty much counters everything you have said.

The magic is believing that life can spontaneously arise from non-living things without ANY intelligent guidance.

Of course you can't see it and will not accept it because your whole concept of life is based on PURE imagination, pure speculation and ANCIENT PHILOSOPHY - magic.

A hocus pocus of life appearing spontaneously from a non-living matter - no intelligence required.

Now - that's magic - if not a silly idea.

So like I said:

Like I said - contribute something intelligent ...else

How about taking some of your own advice? Not only do you keep making the same logical fallacies over and over, you also keep insisting that evolution is a "blind chance event" even though you've been corrected on this numerous times. How intelligent is that?



So are you saying then that there's INTELLIGENCE involve in the Origins of Life?

That life has the Hallmark of Intelligent Design?

If so, why won't fellow evolutionists say so?

In fact they keep on insisting the opposite. Matter of fact you yourself said.




It's a very clear run-down of the challenges that have to be met in order to explain how the first replicator could have been formed by natural, unguided means.


"by natural, unguided means." - if this mean INTELLIGENCE then I stand corrected.

By I think NOT - unless you want to correct me and clarify your statement.

You can't really call it magic if your creation hypothesis has ZERO objective evidence behind it


In fact, nothing around us has ever been proven to be the product of some higher intelligence.

Also, not that I care...but I don't think you realize how ironic it is for you post the post the same picture over and over again

The alternative to intelligent design isn't "unguided blind chance events"


If you actually bothered to do some real research for a change instead of repeating the same argumentative fallacies over and over and over again you would realize that

I get what you're talking about ImaFungi, but this still leaves us the ultimate question of where the intelligence came from?

Is Nature that intelligent, that it's able to create life and consciousness? If so, then is Nature a conscious living "thing"?

Know what I mean? Does Nature able to feel pain, love, sadness, happiness, etc.. i.e. consciousness?

What say you?

I personally there is something of an intelligence that pervades the universe,,,, Just by thinking that all earthly life and there fore man, his achievements, aspirations, innovations, aesthetics is the product of many variables, but mainly,, the suns energy constantly pounding the earth,,,this energy was bounced and reflected around and if abiogenesis occurred,, caused simple atomic elements ( created in stars) to dance to life,.,.,. somethings going on here,,, somethings really special about energy,,, somethings really special about the size and scale of the universe,,.,. somethings really special about humans and what they can do.,.,,.

got it ImaFungi!

That is the ultimate question as far as life goes.

And as experience goes - as Intelligent humans we're capable of answering such question. Problem is, which one do we believe?

INTELLIGENCE or Luck (for a lack of word).

What does the evidence show?

make some sense man...don't rant.





I'm not ranting, I'm merely making sure your posts don't dumb down people given that all your arguments consists of the "god of the gaps", the argument from ignorance, and the argument from complexity.

Here's the link again because I think you STILL don't get what an argumentative fallacy is: LINK

Also, you keep on repeating the nonsense that the alternative to your creationism is "blind chance"...which is NOT what scientists say


You've been told before, but alas you simply ignore it and continue to repeat that nonsense over and over again...




And as experience goes - as Intelligent humans we're capable of answering such question. Problem is, which one do we believe?


The FACT is we don't know how it all started...so if you're a rational person you would admit that we "simply don't know (yet)" instead of filling a gap in knowledge with magic...like the goat herders 2000 years ago who claimed god is responsible for floods

this post:

So answer this simple question then:

If you say NATURE and the FORCES OF NATURE is the CAUSAL FORCE - the Prime Mover of Life NOT Intelligence, does this mean then that there's no INTELLIGENCE in Nature?

If NO Intelligence - does this mean NATURE is dumb? And was just lucky to create life by accident?

If by ACCIDENT - would you consider this then .... BLIND CHANCE EVENT?

what say you?

ps.

In order to stick to the rules - I will not address your link - since it's OFF TOPIC.

take it to the mods if you have any complaints.
