In response to a question as to the identity of a proposed intelligent designer in the thread Dogs will be dogs will be..??" Beretta writes:-
Beretta writes:
How about who cares which God, how or when. The fact remains that we have design, very clever, very intricate, very organized -so that tells me that there has to be a designer. Random mistakes over I don't care how long isn't going to produce carefully integrated design. Genetic mistakes only produce our genetic load and very occasionally something that may be considered to be an advantage though, in those few cases, the advantage comes about by loss of pre-existing genetic information.
When asked about testing for the existence of this designer Beretta argues that:-
Beretta writes:
[it can be done] by conceding that specified complexity and the genetic code needs a cause that is far from random. By realizing that a painting needs a painter, a bridge needs a designer and anything as intricately put together as the simplest of bacteria needs a designer.We don't need to see the painter to know that there is one.
I propose a thread to further discuss the nature of Beretta's designer.

Hi
I'd like to focus on Beretta's arguments if possible.
It's your call.
