Here is my beef with the theory of evolution in a simple nutshell. I don't see evolution (macro) taking place in the world in which I live right now today. What I see are species reproducing after their own kind only. Furthermore, if evolution took place in the past their would have to be thousands upon thousands of transitional forms among the millions of fossils we have uncovered in the past century and a half but their are none that the scientific community agrees are truly transitional. I just don't have the tremendous blind faith it takes to believe such a theory.
In my opinion Intelligent Design is a fact not a theory. True science follows the evidence wherever it leads so lets look at the evidence closest to home for each of us, the human body. When we examine the human body we find complex systems working together that enable us to do very amazing things such as walk, talk, hear, eat, think, heal, etc. Now each of these systems are extremely complex are they not? Complexity requires forethought.
As an example lets take a very simple view of sight. First of all how would a non-thinking source even know that we needed to see to begin with? Much less create the vast network that works in harmony to produce the ability to see. I mean come on people, think about it. You have the sclera made of a tough material that acts as an outer coat with all the blood vessels running through it to deliver blood. (how would a non-thinking source know it needed blood?) You have the cornea as a transparent dome that helps the eye focus as light makes its way through. ( how does a non-thinking source even know a focus is needed to see clear?) Then we have the iris that has muscles attached to change its shape to control how much light goes through the pupil. Again, all of this is design that requires thought. DESIGN REQUIRES THOUGHT!!!
Then we have the anterior chamber as the space between the cornea and the iris that is filled with a special transparent fluid that nourishes the eye and keeps it healthy. How bout the retina? Talk about genius design on display? It holds millions of cells that are sensitive to light. It takes the light the eye receives and changes it into nerve signals so the brain can understand what the eye is seeing! Come on you guys, HOW COULD A NON-THINKING SOURCE build this kind of extremely complex system, put all the right parts in the right order and integrate it with all the other complex systems the body has to offer without the ability to think? What about the simple aspect of the eyeball being perfectly round? That is design all by itself! Their is much more that I could say about the genius design of the eye and sight but I feel like I have proven my point!
