This is exactly what I mean about a waste of precious time. Ho Hum. Because a computer is intelligence. Coming up with a design on a computer program is not simulating evolution. If man has to help in the outcome of a design, it is not evolution. What part of this don't you guys understand? Who designed the antenna?

Having an antenna design is only a small part of the equation. Ah, but it is the central, key, most impotant part of "the equation" that blows apart your entire belief system in design Irrespective of the computer involved, the materials used to construct the system, the engineers who constructed the systems, the intelligence involved in determining what the designs were useful for, the fact that the antennas did not construct themselves... ... nowhere in all of this is found the information that carries the design of the antenna. Where is the source of this information??? It is exactly the same source as the entirety of evolution. It is the environment. If you wish to preserve your belief in the necessaity of a designer, you would do well to run away at this point and try to forget the above, as it is the death blow to Intelligent Design. Enjoy

Then you should know without me having to point out such a simple truth. I write design software for a living. Your computer uses chips designed using software that I helped write. I specialize in the areas of logic simulation and timing analysis. I am intimately familiar with how both computer hardware and software work, and I will not steer you wrong.Would a computer or a computer program exist without an intelligent mind such as yours? yes or no? Although you have been asked to address how you tell when something has "intentional purpose," you've never answered. A watering hole on the Savannah has the purpose of providing water for the animals in the area. How do you know whether that purpose was "intentional" or not? Is it just a case of you can't explain "intentional purpose," but you know it when you see it? If so then you need to develop some scientific criteria for establishing when something has "intentional purpose" or not
Does your heart have an intentional purpose?

Who designed these stalactites and stalagmites?
Religious belief does not constitute scientific evidence, nor does it convey scientific knowledge.

The source is a computer program designed by an intelligent mind. Wrong - the design of the antenna does not exist in the computer programme.
Would the antenna design exist if you took intelligent man out of the equation? Yes or no? Irrelevant - I have already addressed this in my previous post - from where does the antenna design originate?
Is information alone enough to create a material system? yes or no? Irrelevant - I have already addressed this in my previous post - from where does the antenna design originate?

Did you not understand it?Are you debating dishonestly? Or were you unable to defend your position? I am thinking that it is a combination of all three.

Because I am not interested in debating a chapter of information. That's why.

The antenna was generated by a computer program.
Irrelevant - I have already addressed this in my previous post - from where does the antenna design originate?
Maybe its irrelevant to you but not to the truth. Would the antenna exist if intelligence was taken out of the equation? Yes or no? That is the relevant question.

No. I seem to be the only one around here able to grasp the relevant questions.

All design comes from the same source. God

Hi ICDesign,
You ignored much of a long post. We don't want to lose track of the progress we made. The points you're ignoring are:
About computers:
ICdesign writes: Then you should know without me having to point out such a simple truth.Would a computer or a computer program exist without an intelligent mind such as yours? yes or no? Of course hardware and software are the products of intelligence, but I never said otherwise and that wasn't your point. Your point was that a simulation of a natural process means that that process is itself intelligent. I explained that this was false because otherwise it would mean that anything simulated is intelligent, like the weather and aerodynamics and soil erosion. Evolution is a natural process just like the weather and aerodynamics and soil erosion. We observe the evolutionary processes of descent with modification (mutations and allele mixing) filtered by natural selection in all life, and this becomes especially clear in breeding programs where people decide which pairs produce offspring instead of the environment. So do you now understand that simulating a natural process doesn't mean the process is intelligent? --Percy
