A Creator is Evident

[streetpreacherj]

Everything we look at in nature, in the universe, is an intelligent design, Created. Logical reasoning 101, there must be an all knowing Creator or God.

To streepreacher ...

There is absolutely no evidence or proof for your theory. It is a conclusion lacking any evidence but if it makes you feel better the by all means "go for it" as long as you give others the same right to live with their beliefs.

In many ways humans disprove your theory of intelligent design, especially the human mind as it relates o emotion over intellect.

There is actually very little in the way of 'intelligent design' in nature and especially in the universe.
If one was to truly think realistically and logically it is all too obvious.

Yes, everything found around us was created, so to speak - by millions and millions of years of change, growth, survival, death, mutation and evolution.
The universe, and the earth itself are constantly changing in, realistically, a rather violent manner.
Earthquakes, volcanoes, fault lines, explosions, collisions, births and deaths of stars and organisms.

Logic, based on scientific proof, suggests that - no, nothing simply happened randomly - but rather evolved from one form to another in order to adapt and fit in to it's place....a place that is ever shifting.

That's the amazing part of our world. To suggest that it was all simply designed this way by some higher power actually diminishes the wonder.

The only part of your post that I disagree with is that without energy to hold it together everything we see in nature would disintegrate back into chaos. To a large extent that is what happens when we disintegrate after we die.

Evolutionary advances are a matter of nature making 1000 DNA reproduction errors which results in on one mutation designing a plant or animal that is stronger or more adapted to the world at that moment in time. That mutation then takes over from previous mutations until the next "natural selection" DNA life determining event occurs.

How about the dragonfly... probably the most advanced flying creature on the planet and possibly the first. Kind of like saying you can make a Bugatti before a Model T.

There are a lot of species of plants and animals that didn't ever do a whole lot of evolving or changing because the form they were in, worked. But, it's certainly not that they haven't changed.
Perhaps, in form and shape, they appear very similar, they are far from the originals.
Scientific studies have shown that for many so called 'living fossils', their actual DNA has changed dramatically.

The design of a Dragonfly worked, it helped it survive and continue it's lineage...but today's insects are hardly the same as their prehistoric cousins, who were a foot and a half long and had a wing span of more than two feet. So yeah, a bit of evolution there.

The same holds true for all 'surviving' insects and invertebrates ...although very similar in shape and function, they are far from the same critters. We no long see eight foot long Millipedes or Centipedes that exceed three feet in length.

It's really not so difficult to believe, or understand, why certain species remained so similar to their ancestors. Their form and function happened to work well and they were able to adapt to changing climate and landscapes with very little evolution in their form.

Not magical design....just science.

Indeed, sharks and crocodiles are also good examples of this.

I don't actually recall saying anything contrary to this Donald ?

[Hmmm]

Move along folks, nothing AMAZING to see here, just in accident according to really smart people.

[Farmmaa]

LOL...that's funny, really.
Because nature and the universe is full of wonder and beautiful things...and yes, even patterns and shapes....it must be evidence of a magical creator.

I find it sad that people can not find the magic in the beauty of our world without having to reason that some powerful being in the sky created it.
Try to just find it amazing because nature is an amazing thing.

Wind currents, biology, botany, physics, chemistry, weather patterns, astrology....everything that created these patterns, shapes and layers...science.

[Farmmaa]

Was this divine creator high for this one ??
Or, is it your idea of perfect design ?

[Farmmaa]

And, more evidence of perfect celestial design here on earth...

And, lets not forget the species like Pandas and Koalas who can only survive on one type of food source....that was a great design right there.

Imperfect Design- http://www.iampleasant.com/2013/12/the- ... evolution/

Really crappy Design plan -

Not such a great Design -

Another big designer screw up - Cover 3/4 of the Earth with water. Make almost 98% of that Salt Water. Provide all land creatures with a lousy 2.5% 'fresh water' supply...oh, but wait - only 0.37% of that fresh water is actually potable.

It is really amusing when people suggest that the earth is such a perfect design that there just has to be a creator.

If there was...he really wasn't all that good at it.

That seems to have worked since there's been Pandas and Koalas... so what's the problem?

Before man came along, what was the problem with all the water... were there mass overpopulations of dehydrated animals wandering around?
