		<description>jack,

you apparently [&lt;a href=&quot;http://bp2.blogger.com/_cqNbjz0gMoY/RejS_8Z5YMI/AAAAAAAAAX8/KmAQobaOXsI/s400/bunny4.jpg&quot; rel=&quot;nofollow&quot;&gt;cute bunny&lt;/a&gt;].

read it again you [&lt;a href=&quot;http://bp2.blogger.com/_cqNbjz0gMoY/RejS_8Z5YMI/AAAAAAAAAX8/KmAQobaOXsI/s400/bunny4.jpg&quot; rel=&quot;nofollow&quot;&gt;cute bunny&lt;/a&gt;] and you&#039;ll see that you have no case.

I have shown that order demands information. Your presuppositions [that there is no God] won&#039;t allow you to see the observable obvious.

		<description>Seeing as Sirius agrees with me that living organisms show the same evidence for intelligent design as the weather, I rest my case.</description>

		<description>I&#039;m not making a presupposition, if there is any evidence of design or that matter can exist without fundamental properties; that can then move to a discussion of the possibility of a designer. Without that evidence we cannot make the assumption that it requires design.

You still didn&#039;t prove that order demands information.</description>

Information is information, whether or not the implications of the term fit your presuppositions in this case.

		<description>&quot;No ADDITIONAL information. But where did the original information come from?&quot;
There isn&#039;t any original information, simply fundamental properties of matter. It&#039;s not actually information, but the word is simply useful. You have to establish that the fundamental properties of the universe require intelligence, you haven&#039;t done so. You need to produce matter with no fundamental properties in order to establish that such a thing can exist, only then can you make that claim that fundamental properties have been added by an external agent.

Occam&#039;s razor again, the simpler conclusion is that matter has fundamental properties, adding a designer add complications, we need further evidence before it can be added.</description>

		<description>Locksmyth,

Sirius Knott is in fact a pseudonym, but I assure you I am quite serious.

Now, of crystals, you stated that they &quot;are highly ordered yet require no additional information&quot;... wait. There it is. No ADDITIONAL information. But where did the original information come from?

Jack,

You presume that weather is natural is undirected, which is purest bunk from an observational standpoint. How can we observe weather PATTERNS if they&#039;re undirected. Weather follows its own program based on an intimidating number of factors, but the patterns are undeniable. Ask a meteorologist. They&#039;ll admit that their predictions aren&#039;t flawless, mostly because they can&#039;t account for all of the factors, but there are observable recurring patterns that make weather predictions reasonable. By and large, they prove right, unless I&#039;m planning a picnic. But we see seasons, weeather fronts obey rules of temperature and humidity, et cetera.

I&#039;m sorry, but you haven&#039;t demonstrated your case.

Nothing does not produce something. It&#039;s a simple rule of logic. 

Why do you refuse such easily observable truth?

		<description>Sirius,
I hope that your name betrays the fact that you are infact a parody.
Sirius Knott =&gt; Serious Not =&gt; Not Serious
However from your statements it would seem you are not, or your parody is too subtle.

Regardless I ask that you prove your assertion that &#039;order demands information&#039; crystal&#039;s are highly ordered yet require no additional information beyond the fundamental chemical and physical properties.
Life it would seem is in a similar situation, the order arises from the fundamental chemical and physical properties. ID proponents have never proven the requirement that order demands information.

We have an example of order arising from fundamental properties of matter (in crystals) so we can safely make the assumption that other instances of order require no external intervention, until evidence is shown for an additional party to be involved Occam&#039;s razor demands we exclude it from the theory.</description>

		<description>The point of the original post was that when humans create artificial systems that mimic natural processes, that is not evidence that the natural processes themselves are designed. There&#039;s no reason to believe that biological evolution isn&#039;t as entirely natural and undirected as the weather.

As for the origins of life, if you can bring any evidence in favor of intelligent design knock yourself out. So far you&#039;ve merely provided bland aphorisms like &quot;nothing cannot produce something.&quot; Calling the complex chemistry and geology of the early Earth &quot;nothing&quot; is simply denial.</description>
