Did God really create mankind with intelligent design?

Question

Let's talk about homo sapiens and God's "intelligent design" of this creature.

What are you doing with your appendix lately?

How are those wisdom teeth working for you? Had them pulled yet?

Ever notice that more than half the folks that you talk to complain of back problems? That engineering is obviously not designed to withstand the effects of gravity.

How about facial and body hair? Is that just to give people something to shave when they're bored?

Note that belly button hole on your stomach? Couldn't that have been designed to heal up and be smooth, or is it's purpose to give us an extra place to pierce?

Seems like a lot of people die of cancer, heart disease and various illness. Is that just faulty plumbing and wiring?

If boobs were designed with ideal shape and size and to be non-sag, gals wouldn't need boob jobs.

And I won't even get into bald guys. Who designed them?

The only arguement that I see for intelligent design might be Angelina Jolie.

Answer 1

I don't care if someone wants to believe in intelligent design. I just think it shouldn't be taught as a science. Primarily because it doesn't even meet the definition.
The definition of science is a body of established knowledge that is used to examine, analyze and predict natural phenomena.
With examination and analysis, those who support intelligent design use exactly the same methods evolutionary scientists use. The only difference is they add God to the mix. They find evidence of God, because they put Him there.
And with prediction - how can you predict the mind of God?
Many people misunderstand the scientific method. It's not to prove a hypothesis, it's to disprove all other possibilities. Leaving only one possible explanation. Intelligent design starts with a hypothesis and then focuses solely on proving it.
Michelangelo once said that when he sculpts, the finished sculpture is already inside the block of marble. He's just removing everything else. That's what REAL scientists do. They remove everything else, until there's nothing left but the truth.

>>ddead alive: Don't talk to us like we're children. Your arguments are skewed, presuppose too much and often completely ridiculous. Not to mention the quotes taken out of context. Though I don't believe the same things you do, at least I have enough courtesy and respect not to insult your intelligence.

Answer 2

Yes God Did Create with Intelligent Design First God Cant do ever thing For us we have to learn to Do that by our self As a little kid you Need little so you need small teeth but as you get older you need more then little teeth so your teeth come out and
if you eat the right stuff stay away from pork and be a vegetarian like god said you wouldn't have back problems and you would not go bald because Food that Vegetarians eat prevent cancer prevents heart sickness and in the bible god does not want you to eat fatty foods and you need facial hair to protect you so god design us perfectly but we dont care for ourselfs

Answer 3

"Bang: The theory of Evolution of the Coca Cola Can"

Billions of years ago, a big bang produced a large rock. As the rock cooled, sweet brown liquid formed on it's surface. As time passed, aluminum formed itself into a can, a lid, and a tab. Millions of years later, red and white paint fell from the sky and formed itself into the words "Coca Cola... 12 fluid ounces."

Of course my theory is an insult to your intellect, because you know that if the Coca Cola can is made, there must be a maker. If it is designed, there must be a designer. The alternative, that it happened by chance or accident is to move from the intellectual free zone.



Here is another:

"The Banana: The Atheist Nightmare"

Note that the banana...

1. is shaped for the human hand.

2. has a non-slip surface.

3. Has outward indicators of it's inward contents. Green - too early, yellow - just right, black - too late.

4. Has a tab for removal of it's wrapper.

5. Is perforated on wrapper.

6. Has a bio-degradable wrapper.

7. Is shaped for the human mouth.

8. Has a point at the top for ease of entry.

9. Is pleasing to the taste buds.

10. Is curved towards the face to make the eating process easy.

To write that the banana happened by accident is even more unintelligent than to write that no one designed the Coca Cola can.

Test 1.

The person who thinks the Coca Cola can has no designer is:

A. Intelligent

B. A fool

C. Has an ulterior motive for denying the obvious

Now the document that I am referring from states that the eye has 40,000,000 nerve endings and focuses it's muscles approximately 100,000 times a day. and that the eye has a retina that contains approximately 137,000,000 light sensitive cells.

The document continues and states that Charles Darwin stated:

"To suppose that the eye could have been formed by natural selection, seems I freely confess, absurd in the highest degree" Agreed... it does not have the reference recorded so I do not know if this statement is true or false. But let me get to the point at hand.

If man can not create the human eye then how can anyone in their right mind believe that it was created by chance? In fact... man can't create anything from nothing... we just do not know how to do it. We can re-create, reform, develop... but we can not create one grain of sand from nothing. Yet the human eye... is a mere tiny part of the most sophisticated part of creation - the human body.

Again... another statement which I would have to research and verify if this person actually made this comment:

"George Gallup; "If I could prove God statistically; take the human body alone; the chance that all the functions of the individual would just happen, is a statistical monstrosity."

Now this statement concerning Albert Einstein. This is confusing... why would this man contradict himself? If he stated this... then every other statement that has been quoted at this forum is invalid because the man appears to be speaking from both sides of his mouth. In this statement Einstein is quoted to have said:

"Everyone who is seriously interested in the pursuit of science becomes convinced that a spirit is manifest in the laws of the universe - a spirit vastly superior to man, and one in the face of our modest powers must feel humble."

Test 2:

1. Do you know any building that did not have a builder? Yes? No?

2. Do you know any painting that did not have a painter? Yes? No?

3. Do you know any car that did not have a maker? Yes? No?

If you answered "Yes" to any of those statements... please give details:_________________________________________



Third analogy:

Could I convince you that I dropped 50 oranges onto the ground and then by chance fell into ten rows of five oranges? Logically, anyone with an intelligent mind might conclude that someone put them there. The odds that ten oranges would fall into a straight line is mind boggling. Let alone ten rows of five.

Test 3

Yes or No 1. From the atom to the universe is there order?

Yes or No 2. Did it happen by accident or must there been an intelligent mind?

3. What are the odds of 50 oranges falling by chance into ten rows of five oranges? _______________________________

To declare that there is no God is to make an absolute statement. And for an absolute statement to be true; one must have absolute knowledge. Here is another such statement: "There is no gold in China."

Test 4 What would I need to have for that statement to be true?

A. No knowledge of China?

B. Partial knowledge of China?

C. Absolute knowledge of China?

"C" is the correct answer. In order for the statement to be true, I must know that there is no gold in China.

Likewise; to state that there is no God and to be correct then you are stating that you are omniscient. You must have absolutely certain knowledge that there isn't one.

Let's say that a circle contains all the knowledge of the universe. And let's say that you have an incredible understanding of one percent of all that knowledge. Is it possible that the knowledge you haven't yet come across, that there might be ample evidence to prove that God does indeed exist?

If you are reasonable, you would have to admit, "Having the limited knowledge I have at present, I believe that there is no God." In other words, you don't know if God exists, so you are not an atheist. You are an "agnostic." You are like a person that looks at a building and doesn't seem to know if there is a builder.

Test 5 The man who sees a building and doesn't know if there is a builder is:

A. Intelligent

B. A fool

C. Has an ulterior motive

In summary: There are plenty of things that we have faith in that we do not fully understand. Most of us do not have a complete understanding that when you turned your computer on as to why it worked. You took a step of faith that turning it on... that somehow that it would work. You accept the unseen electrical waves that appear right in front of your eyes when you type your comments here. We do not see the reason for why the messages appear... because the powers that be are invisible to the naked eye. For them to be manifest, we need a monitor... so we can enjoy the experience of this forum.

God is not flesh and blood; He is an eternal Spirit. Immortal and invisible... like the computer waves. He can can not be experienced unless the monitor is turned on. One should approach the Bible in the same way as the monitor. If it works, enjoy it and if it doesn't, forget it.

Or do you have an ulterior motive? Could it be that the "atheist" can't find God... as a thief can't find the policeman? Could it be that your logic is clouding your good judgment?

Answer 4

GOD MADE HUMANS PERFECT, is it not perfection to have blood so you can be alive? without blood you cant live. Who makes blood?

i can give you millions of examples, but i made my point.

if in today's world as in the past, there are engineering problems in genetic production of a human it has much to do with humans doing it not God.

When the nephilins, a mix of Angel (fallen angels() and women or men got mixed with fallen angels it created monstrocities , that which many times are read to children as stories of a giant (goliath) or one eye person, or strange animal-human like creatures those in fact did exist and because of this I am mentioning. God put a stop to that, he sent the great floods. (remember Noah's arc? well its not fiction) that is the reason why the entire earth perished so taht God could save the human race and get rid of the nephilins or half fallen angel and half human. GOD GOT RID OF THEM.

TAKE HEED PEOPLE !

Answer 5

I believe God created all humans with their own special beauty!! It is people who look for perfection. Jolie's boobs sag too just look with an open eye at the love scene with Banderas!! I love bald men they seem more macho than some guy with gel flaking on my sheets and pillow cases. As for cancer, heart disease, back pain Etc. Who chose to believe the sneaky evil guy? Duh!!! God created a paradise. We chose to get greedy so it stands to reason we caused our own suffering. Stop whining and looking for outside perfection, each of us has a special something glowing from inside!!! Even Angelina Jolie!!! Stop drooling over her boobs you can't have them she belongs to the man she chose to be with. How typical to covet what is not ours!!! Can't you see her real and lasting beauty?!!! Which is she adopted and loves two lost children from third world countries!!! I suggest you get up off you miserable duff and go volunteer to help someone less fortunate than youself. Eat healthier, quit somking, and take a walk, it relieves lower back pain. I suffer from the most painful and destructive form of arthritis. My bones are degenerating slowly and crumble away, yet my life is happy,serene and full of joy and gratitude!!! I 've had a spinal fusion and a total hip replacement.Every step or movement keeps me in a state of chronic pain!!! It's no big deal though cause I know GOD gave a man the brains to become the surgeon who helped me be able to stand upright and walk to the best of my ability!!! I know GOD gives me faith, hope and courage to face life on lifes terms. To reach for the stars in my every endeavor and if I fall down to pick myself up and try again!!! Stop blaming God for what's wrong in the world, take responsibilty for our own shortcomings,and help someone everyday maybe you will find your inner beauty. So your whiny,criey,opinion is? Sorry If my answer offends your poor sensetivities!! Get a life dude!!!

Answer 6

Yes. The answer can be found in the complexity of man's most basic component, a living cell of his body. In it are the triggers, if you will, that dictate our differences as well as our similarities. Most importantly, our uniqueness. No one ever exactly like you existed, exists, or will exist again. There's only one of each of us.

Answer 7

If no body ever died, where would we live? That wouldn't be very intelligent.

Let me ak a question, where did the gas ball that exploded and created life as we know it come from?

Answer 8

well it was scientifical. some thing made a reaction and that created man kind. but then u can also look a tis as god did creat man kind. i also wa puzzled over this untill i asked my history teacher and he explained it to me. i am a christian i just believe that mankind was created through a scientific reaction

Answer 9

i think the question is did man create god with intelligent design dont you

Answer 10
