Intelligent Design is NOT Creation[ism]

You've confused my arguments with your strawmen. I never asked you to "back up to the beginning"; only to provide positive evidence that chloroplast gene expression mechanisms were designed, per your assertion that they were.You have not done so. Your only response has been to ignore the question and change the subject. Is this really the best you have, ID man? All I asked you for was positive evidence that the chloroplast gene expression mechanism was designed. I'm sure that I can't provide evidence that it was designed, but then, I never claimed it was designed.

Fled?The hurricanes were so bad, that's where he woke up afterwards!

How can that be a fact, when we've never ever "detected" design except in cases where we already understood fundamental qualities about the designer (for instance that they were human)?The only designer we've ever detected isn't avaliable to be the designer of the structures you're talking about, because they predate the evolution of that designer. We've never been able to detect unknown designers from nothing but their purported "designs".

Well, we certainly didn't come to the conclusion that humans made them based on any aspect of the items themselves. Moreover, restricting the possible designers to only humans meant that we could easily come to conclusions about their manufacture and use.In other words, it was due to the a priori conclusion that the designer was human that we were able to determine the purpose and function of their design. So yes, knowing that they were human was crucial to the analysis and detection of their design. No, we know that humans designed and built it. That knowledge does not come from any aspect of Stonehenge, however. Right, because we know humans were there to build it.In regards to the evolution of life, humans weren't around till the end. With no other designer avaliable, we must conclude that no design occured - that the only remaining possibility, no matter how improbable you may find it, is the truth; all other conjectures are impossible. What aliens?

The full articles aren't generally avaliable online; you usually have to go to the library (you know, where books are kept) to dig it up.Since we always give full bibliographical citations, however, it should be trivial for you to look up the article yourself. You can hardly claim we're "hiding" something.
