There's nothing intelligent about the 'design' of the universe. Galaxies are slamming into each other, come on.

Another dismissal?
discipler... with all due respect. The link you sent me doesn't actually provide for a test.
I mean - "Specified complexity found in the laws of the universe may be another." - "
Prediction of Design Met? (Conclusion) - Yes"That's the kind of thing someone says when they're trying to confuse someone. It's so vague it's laughable.
Again. Where's the test? How can I, me, with only high school science, observe this in action?
Another question for you, assuming for a moment that ID is in fact, true.
To whom would you attribute the design to?
A god? Or an extra terrestial civilization?

What a ridiculous argument...
I'll give you a conundrum...
If you have a bag of chex mix and it is shaken softly for an indefinite amount of time, will the different pieces ever sort out into layers??
- ScottTheRobot0
Yeah, that's what I thought.

Ok, warland...
First, as for testability, etc...

http://www.ideacenter.org/conten…Secondly, if you are asking me personally, I attribute the design to the God who has revealed himself in Jesus Christ. There are numerous reasons why I arrive at this conclusion and it's really a discussion in itself. That being said, the majority of scientists who embrace intelligent design theory are theists but don't necessarily claim that it's the God of the bible who is responsible for the design of the universe.

Hey, if I designed the universe I'd probably take a break and slam a few galaxies into each other too..that'd be cool..* makes galaxy smashing together noises

white savages have been designing, defining, and enslaving human beings in mass quantities forever. very, very, very, very simple to understand: the lens through which you view a creator or god is no more true than the limitations of your skin color and culture or lack thereof.

hehe. Actually, the issue of colliding galaxies and such (issues which fall under dysteleology) do not demonstrate lack of, or bad design. It's presumptuous to say that because disasters and seemingly inefficient things exist in nature, that there couldn't be a designer. The fact is that A) we can't see the whole picture and B) if the designer had his hand in every situation to prevent negative things from happening, we'd all be robots - there would be no true free will. Additionally, from a theological perspective, we live in a "fallen" universe which is subject to decay.

So Discipler when is the apocalypse coming - soon? When I see you and all the other fundamentalist Christians disappearing en masse, maybe then I'll believe you. But I won't be sorry.
