Ever thought that Evolution is a part of Intelligent Design?
​
Of course. For most Christians and other Theists, what we learn about evolution or cosmology or geology or any other science is simply "How the designer did it."

Re: they need to give God more credit
In one way the ID'st are right, these are 'complex things' that couldn't have just appeared without the direction of an intelligent designer... what the ID'sts are missing though is how the 'direction' of an intelligent designer works (at least for life as we know it on our planet):
​
Sorry but so far No One has been able to show any such 'complex things' that cannot be explained.
​
that deep in the blueprints of the dna of the first organisms on earth were instructions created by an intelligent designer for these organisms to *evolve* into complex things...
​
Sorry but No One has been able to show any evidence of that.
​
for example, why would so many 'intelligent' species here on Earth, such as chimps, dolphins, and humans, share similiar instincts, such as social hierarchies, etc?
​
Sorry but there are many explanations for such things that do not involve a designer. In addition such things can be seen at almost every level of life.
​
There are no signs of direction in any of the evidence beyond the fact that is you begin with ultimate simplicity the only possible evolution at that point is more complex.

First some tips.
On each message in the lower right is a LGRB (Little Green Reply Button). If you use that instead of the General Reply button found at the lower left it will link your reply to the message you are replying to, and, if the other author has reply notification turned on, send that person a notification.
​
The LGRB is your friend.
​
logic says that there is some kind of intelligence behind the evolution of life on earth.
​
Sorry but that has never been shown.
​
our intelligence, and our technological discoveries are too complex.
​
Again, No One has ever been able to provide any evidence in support of that assertion.
​
the question we should be asking ourselves is: is there an actual Biblical God directing all of this? or is this the part of an original 'design' taking part on numerous planets across the universe?... designed by entities other than a Christian Biblical God?
​
Why?

Re: There are no instructions
Well, at least initially there was a definite trend towards increased complexity. When you are a single celled organism there ain't many options 'cept stay the same or become more complex.
​
However, I do not know how someone would actually compute that life today is more complex than say, life one million years ago.
