INTELLIGENT DESIGN??? |
Religious types claim that the universe would need a God creator and that
God always was. It is more logical to conclude the Universe always was.
There is physical objective verifiable evidence for the existence of the
Universe. There is absolutely no objective verifiable evidence for the
existence of ANY Gods.
Christian's favorite evidence for the existence of their god is the old
canard that the Universe could not just happen but had to have a
designer/creator. They refuse to consider the more logical and scientific
process of evolution. If it was designed/created by some god, this god has
to be even more complex than the Universe, and using this same logic, would
require that god would also have to have a creator. Who or what created god?
Many religious types claim the Intelligent Design of the Universe is proof
of god.
Intelligent design!? Consider reality. The Universe shows no evidence of
intelligent design! If any real God wanted to create intelligently designed
people he would design humans that did not steal, curse, and kill others,
cause wars or sin in other ways. Why would such an all powerful perfect God
create such imperfect creatures and such a grossly imperfect world??
First, let's look at the human body.
The openings to our breathing air and swallowing food and water are so close
that it often causes choking (and sometimes fatal!) Why aren't there two
separate openings that do not conflict with each other?
The lung design is equally quaint and inefficient. The same tube acts as the
both the
entry for life giving oxygen and the exhaust pipe for the spent air. This is
the equivalent of an auto engine designer putting the exhaust pipe through
the carburetor manifold!
And why include a non functioning body organ like the Appendix to, cause
serious problems including death?
The penis is used to dispose of foul bodily fluids and to deliver wholesome
sperm to fertilize women's eggs for the birth of new humans. Likewise the
female's vagina is used as a sewer line and for delivery of new infants. Is
running a sewer line through the middle of a creation organ logical or
intelligent?
There is no evidence of intelligent design but only for random mutation and
natural selection. If it works it is reproduced. If it doesn't work, it
doesn't survive. If an omniscient God created man he certainly would have
created a more logical and efficient design.
Why does this all powerful creator, all loving and caring intelligent
designer, create Plagues, Tsunamis, Tornadoes, Volcanic Eruptions, Wars,
Cancers and hundreds of debilitating diseases and serious body malfunctions?
Why does he permit millions of both young and old to starve to death or die
of miserable diseases? Why punish millions of totally innocent children in
this horrible way?
Why does this all powerful and caring god permit totally "innocent children"
to die at birth? Or worse, be born lacking eyesight, a fully developed
brain, deaf and dumb, missing limbs etc.? Why are some born idiots and
others with super intelligence? Why are some born into wealth and others
pauper poor? Why are his human creations designed to deteriorate into a
miserable and devastating old age?
Why did this all powerful and loving creator create things like sharks,
jelly fish, octopus, lions, tigers, rhinoceros, poisonous snakes, stinging
and poisonous insects, poisonous plants etc.? Why did this caring benevolent
god create animals (including man) that need to kill and eat other animals
to survive?
World War I claimed 9,000,000 lives of people of many religious faiths.
World II indiscriminately claimed over 20,000,000 lives of people of all
ages and religious faiths, plus a vast destruction of property and more
millions maimed for life.
The recent Asian Tsunami has claimed 270,000 lives; men, women and innocent
children of all religious persuasions. 100,000 of these were totally
innocent children!
The recent earthquake in Pakistan and India killed over 70,000 innocent men,
women and children of many religious persuasions. Over 2,500,000have been
left homeless with a harsh winter approaching.
There were three major epidemics of the Bubonic Plaque - in the 6th, 14th.
and 17th centuries. The death toll was over 137 million men, women and
totally innocent children.
The influenza of 1918-1919 killed at least 25 million men, women and
innocent children indiscriminately.
Diseases like malaria, AIDS, tuberculosis, etc. maim and kill millions
indiscriminately every year. More millions die of starvation and
malnutrition.
These afflicted the young and old, atheists and those of all religious
persuasions INCLUDING PERFECTLY INNOCENT CHILDREN.
This all loving and all caring god also hates perfectly innocent animals and
afflicts them with many painful, debilitating and fatal diseases. Presently
a Mad Cow like disease is infecting millions of Sheep, Deer and Elk. It has
been determined that these wild animals are being infected because infected
animals release the disease causing prions in their urine on the grass which
other grazers then eat. Up to twenty percent of these animals have become
infected with this painful wasting and fatal disease.
Perhaps this loving and caring god is actually a cruel, heartless, mean and
torturing tyrant. If he treats us so cruelly during life, why do you think
he will let us enjoy peace and happiness in his eternal Heaven after death?
If there is a god that created the Universe, he is obviously not an
all-caring and benevolent god. Nor is he an "Intelligent Designer". The
objective evidence is that, if there is a god creator, he has NO concern
about the welfare of the creatures on Earth.
The Christian god belief is about as credible as belief in Santa Claus, The
Wizard of Oz and Aesop's Fables.
This is understandable because the Earth is but a speck of dust in the
unimaginably vast
Universe, of billions of Planets and Stars, that is over 20 BILLION LIGHT
YEARS across.
The objective evidence is that NO GOD CREATED MAN but quite the contrary;
that MAN CREATED GODS!

It is impossible to tell if the body is perfect or not without knowing
the intension of the supposed designers. You are trying to nail the
jell-o to the wall to point out that it is useless.

If I claimed to be 30 feet tall, wouldn't you consider the burden of proof
to be on me? Or would you just believe me without any proof?

It is impossible to tell if the body is perfect or not without knowing
the intension of the supposed designers. You are trying to nail the
jell-o to the wall to point out that it is useless.

So if I buy a car, and I bring it back because of imperfections,
the car-company can get away with anything,
because I didn't know the intention of the designer???
Are you a car-salesman by any chance:)

Do something today about the Darfur Genocide
Peter:
I was actually willing to do that, if I had any hope of succes I would
act.
But I have great fears my option are limited.
I could donate of course, or sign a petition, but would that actually
help?

Top posting non-sequitur. So, again, you are wrong about judging the
design without knowing the designers' goals.

Matt,
If you have a science background and can debate evolutionists, please
subscribe to this newsgroup
sci.life-extension
There are lots of evolutionists at that site and it appears that I am the
only advocate of creation science and ID that subscribes to that
newsgroup. I could use your help.

I doubt it. A quick look shows that there is more insult than I like.
But I also don't see any evidence that you have bothered to look at
