Houses show evidence of design.
Rocks, puddles, cows, or trees don't. What is your specific point?The above ontological example models the zero premise to BB theory. It does so by applying the relative uniformity assumption that the alleged zero event eventually ontologically progressed from the compressed alleged sub-microscopic chaos to bloom/expand into all of the present observable order, more than it models the Biblical record evidence for the existence of Jehovah, the maximal Biblical god designer. -Attributed to Buzsaw Message 53 Moreover that view is a blatantly anti-relativistic one. I'm rather inclined to think that space being relative to time and time relative to location should make such a naive hankering to pin-point an ultimate origin of anything, an aspiration that is not even wrong. Well, Larni, let's say I much better know what I don't want to say than how exactly say what I do.

Ok then, why don't you agree that a house can assemble itself?
For anyone else willing to jump into this conversation. I would like to have this conversation with subbie. Him and him alone. I cannot argue with 2 persons at on time.

I said it was nonsense, why would I agree with it?

If you actually believe that houses can assemble themselves and are incredulous that anyone could believe otherwise, then please just stop posting in this thread. We don't do nonsense here.

Why don't you provide some evidence that this can happen? Because I am quite sure that evidence can be provided that houses are not self assembling. Edited by Theodoric, : db codes Edited by Theodoric, : No reason given.Facts don't lie or have an agenda. Facts are just facts

Interesting, you say that you do not agree that my house could have assembled itself because you said it was "nonsense".
...I have nothing more to say. Edited by SavageD, : clarification

Well, thanks for playing.

There was a time I came here and posted frequently, and each time I would give my reasoning as to how you could determine that something could be the product of an intelligent agent.
Each time I made a post it would seem that I would also attract "a lot of people" to my conversations. So, Whats wrong with asking to have a conversation with one person? Regardless, I see no point in revealing why "something" could be the product of an intelligent agent...It would only fall on deaf ears.

Typical creo tactic to not supply evidence.
Same avoidance, different creo poster.The above ontological example models the zero premise to BB theory.

SavageD writes: So, Whats wrong with asking to have a conversation with one person? Nothing. It's called email. Non-sensical statements tend to draw a lot of attention, not just here but anywhere. If you don't like all the attention then try to say things that make sense. I'm sure that when you apply for a building permit for your next house that you won't be telling the building department that the builder is the house. If you wouldn't speak this nonsense in public then don't speak it here, either. Capiche?

Then it would be a simple matter to cut and paste those previous posts, or even link to them.

I have trouble understanding why someone wouldn't just answer the OP's question. Same avoidance...It must be a fundamental part of ID to be able to identify designed objects. What is going on in their heads to make them post statements like "My house builds itself" rather than posting something like "You measure its complexity using a plexiometer". If someone asked "How do I tell what colour my car is?" I would simply post the steps required to answer this question.I would not post "Your car paints itself." If I were you And I wish that I were you All the things I'd do To make myself turn blue

There is no such thing as random, nor anything superfluos - else the universe would either not exist or become self destroyed. Random itself, or what is percieved to be so, is a subjective view: random is based on a law which allows it to go any way or manifold ways or unpredictably; such an event has to be factored in. This is the higher thought of it. Once, there was no random! We find that both random and predictable occured where once it did not. Here, one must ask - what caused the predictable and the random?
Further, a rock with free shape and form is NOT random. It is the result where wind and water smashes elements in multi directions, each impact predictable if we knew how to measure every single unique impact and its consequences. Every facet of the rock can be reproduced repeatedly in a lab if we could emulate the same conditions. It woud in fact be an anomaly of science if arock was not exactly as a rock. What we see as random and accidents must be factored in to occur. In the sme vein, the big bang could not go bang if this was not resultant from an intentionally designed set of laws. How so? We have no alternate to it - consider what can cause a bang; a number of factors come into play, primarilly that at one tme nothing we can point to as its cause; whatever we point to never existed at the BB point! A coconut falling on the head and killing someone is NOT random.

quote: Humanity's enigma is that science is based on reasoning; yet we have no reasonable explanation of this reasoning's appearance; it becomes science and anti-science meshed together - we cannot speak of science unless we acknowledge science never existed at one point, making the origins of this science an engma. Its like saying your PC comes from reasoned thought and actions, but reason and thought are random entities not resultant from thought and action. A kabala writings, the earliest science which examines Genesis, speaks of the origins of the universe by starting at the terms origins and widsom itself - which predate the appearance of the universe - consider if this was not the case! This premise involves ten emenations which spewed out of a source able to produce actions without interacting with other entities [no alternative to this premise exists] - once nothing else existed, including 'WISDOM' itself. Wisdom is a faculty which predated the universe and was established in the second emanation. The thought or will of a universe was formed in the emenation of wisdom - which never existed before. This gives a deeper meaning to the term: THE UNIVERSE WAS MADE IN WISDOM. Here, wisdom becomes a place or a station. Edited by IamJoseph, : No reason given. Edited by IamJoseph, : No reason given.
