Is the whole world missing something, or has someone considered this yet:
Ever thought that Evolution is a part of Intelligent Design?
If we ever shoot probes into outer space with the chemicals / basic organisms to possibly spread life from our planet to other planets (outside our solar system), we better send organisms that can naturally adapt (evolve) to changing conditions... and in the dna carry the blueprints that will direct these organisms to evolve one day into intelligent life, possibly even evolve into humans or a human like species... guess what? we humans back on earth (now eons in the past) just became intelligent designers

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):
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...
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?

God vs. Aliens
logic says that there is some kind of intelligence behind the evolution of life on earth. our intelligence, and our technological discoveries are too complex. whether it was God or aliens who shot out probes into space with the basic chemicals / organisms to create life (as proposed in the first thread) evolution probably isn't an accident
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?

Re: logical, but
I'll try to ask some questions that might get me to understand this much better.
The only "direction" that is embedded in DNA is to reproduce, making new packages of DNA (organisms). After that mutation and natural selection accounts for the diversity of life -- according to evolution, which you now posit as being "part of Intelligent Design" and which would be included when you take the concept to it's logical conclusion.
Are a species 'instincts' embedded in DNA? How do instincts get passed down? Insects don't have much of a brain but seem to know exactly what to do with themselves, for example honey bees, ants, and caterpillars/butterflies.
I'm trying to understand this better as I think what I'm trying to say is that in my opinion, it seems that one theory could be that basic organisms somehow are programmed with instructions (whether it's an accidental programming or done by an 'intelligent designer') to evolve to changing conditions. then, through selection, by pure chance an intelligent life is able to to evolve to the point that it can ponder it's own existence and debate it.
so to understand the board better, evolution vs. intelligent designer (is that the same as 'creationist'?), is the basic question did life develop on earth 'by accident' or did another entity / entities play a roll in it?
