FeedIntelligent Design Roundup Friday
Friday, September 30, 2005 → by Danieru
The debate on Intelligent Design vs Evolution has been flooding through the blogsphere like some cleverly conceived primeval super-goo this week. Screw what I have to say on the issue, what about the rest of the world?- HAVE you ever really looked at Intelligent Design?
- IS teaching Intelligent Design even legal?
- COULD Intelligent Design be about to go extinct?
- NOT to mention...
...and just to be fair, here's a couple of links from ID advocates (may the Designer bless their tiny, chest-cavity-located, highly efficient blood pumps):
- ARE we suffering from a bout of Intelligent Design phobia?
- SHOULD we be comparing the natural and the unnatural?

Don't you find it the least bit odd to believe people who are willing to be ignorant and stupid enough to deny that they just created a program that evolves in an unfolding of events?
You can't really tell who or what created it, after he just got done writing the terms that the system will be guided to process? And he's supposed to be a philosopher of science?
It's laughable.

If that is true then the American Declaration of Independence and the Constitution are both "unconstitutional." That is, after all, the legal issue supposedly to be decided by the Judiciary. Yet when the Judiciary is saying that the very documents which define and ground the separation of powers to define its powers are "unconstitutional" then they have become little more than petty tyrants, dictating their own whims. They are textual degenerates, unwilling to be limited by text.
Will their copying errors and degeneracy will lead to a better and better fit? Actually, the Founders of America designed specific ways for the Constitution to evolve and unfold to fit into different circumstances in a guided way. It is designed to adapt. Yet apparently those who believe in Darwinism tend to avor a sort of viral textual degeneracy instead of the way things were designed to evolve.
I would like to now how you propose it is supportable to argue that the very documents that undergird American government are both "unconstitutional" for making reference to something more than Nature.

What is laughable is your ignorance of science. Have you not heard of scientific modeling? I suggest you crack open an intro to science textbook lest you embarrass yourself any more.

Yet what follows is a total nonsequitur and an appalling diatribe with no substance whatsoever. It seems your lack of knowledge extends beyond the realms of science.

MYNYM, I found replying to your posts pretty difficult (cos they make very little sense to me), but here goes:
"Don't you find it the least bit odd to believe people who are willing to be ignorant and stupid enough to deny that they just created a program that evolves in an unfolding of events?"
Erm, everything is causal. If the people making this program were to deny that then mercy be on their materialistically defined souls! The program to which they speak has been given a very base degree of rules from which to operate. Such as those inherent in self-realising systems, such as bacterium or even lower down the scale, proteins. The universe is functional in this sense even if you take life out of the picture.
Rule 1: Energy and matter are interchangeable
Rule 2: Opposite energy states attract, same states repel
Rule 3: Time and motion are relative...
and so on. From very few rules an interacting system can evolve, just as this universe did. all these programmers are doing is creating their own min-universe and watching events in it unfold. Chaos becomes order over time and thus proves that insane complexity can come from a seemingly inherent disorder (in fact 'disorder' is just a human perspective)
"Science, and government, are confined to naturalistic explanations."
I would damn well hope so. When the President of the most powerful country in the world can justify his decisions with the phrase "Because I believe it is the work of God..." and get away with it this world will have taken a turn towards insanity too far.... Oh shit, I see what I've done their. We are living in an unconstitutional nightmare of a world driven by belief, unseen forces and deluded fools who believe everything they do has been ordained by an imaginary God. I weep (at you)...
