the asinine cretin Posted May 16, 2012 Share Posted May 16, 2012 Darwinism can't overcome the information problem! The cell is too complex. It had to be designed. Bacterial flagella of the world, unite! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Phi for All Posted May 16, 2012 Share Posted May 16, 2012 Iirc, the ID proponents claim that RLN is a great design, because it develops like a river, going with the flow as the body develops from birth. Since God made the rivers, and they're so well designed, the RLN MUST be a great design as well! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
the asinine cretin Posted May 16, 2012 Share Posted May 16, 2012 Well, that would be a pretty silly use of the "design inference." I read a chapter from an ID book that was supposed to address instances of suboptimal design in nature and all it really did was weakly criticize a couple examples that were the easiest targets and then act like it had refuted to whole idea. Pull a silly "purpose" out of one's ass (e.g., the crappy design of the human eye keeps the retina warm), make some specious and/or trivial claims (e.g., junk DNA isn't really junk!); therefore, suboptimal design isn't a problem. I once wrote out a detailed compilation of evidence for evolution at the request of a creationist friend of mine and the response consisted of a bullshit "rebuttal" of one or two of the arguments (there were dozens) and then a "and the rest are similarly fallacious" dismissal. GTFO. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
