question to those that do not believe in intelligent design?

Question

How does the Planets stay within theyre orbits? Whydoes the Oceans & Seas stay in theyre bounderies? How do animals know when it is time to awaken from hibernation & know when its time to sleep again? How did the inner space stars & planets get that way? What seperated the salty water from not salty water? Howcome female animals have a different pregnacy time? Why is there a sunset & a sunrise? How has that come about? Why is weather the way it is? Like how were the seasons established? How did we get to have colors for our skin? What keeps the Moon in place & why is the sun in such an exact spot that were not fried?? How come the sky is the blue that it is? Why do each & every animal have its place with its own charecteristic? Why do you not believe in GOD but believe what man has told you???

Answer 1

I can explain how the planets stay in their orbits and it's not by spirtual string. Can intelligent design explain why galaxies collide? I can explain hybernation, I feel sad that you cannot.

You know what. Your argument is not strong. I would be wasting my time going any further.

And I can't believe you don't know why the sky is blue.

Answer 2

The answers to all those questions can be found in what people like to call "an education". Get one and try it. I will even help you out a bit:

How does the Planets stay within theyre orbits? - Physics.
Whydoes the Oceans & Seas stay in theyre bounderies? Again, physics, but particularly gravity.
How do animals know when it is time to awaken from hibernation & know when its time to sleep again? Biology and maybe some chemistry.
How did the inner space stars & planets get that way? Physics - though it's pretty advanced stuff.
What seperated the salty water from not salty water? Geology (Rivers come from rain, the seas are salty from all the minerals washed into them)
Howcome female animals have a different pregnacy time? Biology.
Why is there a sunset & a sunrise? Because the earth rotates.
How has that come about? Physics.
Like how were the seasons established? Because of the way the earth rotates. See more in physics.
How did we get to have colors for our skin? Biology
What keeps the Moon in place & why is the sun in such an exact spot that were not fried? Gravity, and coincidence.
How come the sky is the blue that it is? Refraction of light.. Physics
Why do each & every animal have its place with its own charecteristic? They don't. Some do, some do not.
Why do you not believe in GOD but believe what man has told you??? Because I never met god.

Answer 3

1. Gravity and actually we are slowly spinning into the sun though the reate is so slow. Explain God's plan in that one?

2. The oceans and seas have little things called coasts. There's only so much water so it occupies the given volume. When the volume increases they will overflow their coasts and flood peoples houses.

3. I'm not a biologist but I'm sure it has something to do with animal instincts. Humans at one point had them too.

4. Get what way exactly? And what do you mean by inner stars? the stars of the galaxy or is there more than one star in this star system? The inner planets formed from the materials of old stars that supernovaed. I suggest reading A Brief History of Time for more information or any astronomy text book would probably do too.

5. Fresh water, it's called fresh water. And when ice melts that's whats left behind. Where does the Bible mention a little thing called the Ice Age?

6. Again I'm no biologist and I'm really not sure if you're meaning gestation periods or breeding cycles but I'm sure someone with more information can answer that.

7. Earth rotating. That means it spins in a circle.

8. The weather is a pretty complex thing but it has a lot to do with wind currents and surface temperatures. Also there's greenhouse gases to consider.

9. The seasons come from the tilt of the earth and its path around the sun. That's called an orbit. For the a given hemisphere the summer months are when it's tilted towards the sun and the winter months are when it's tilted away.

10. There's a compound known as melonin. People with dark skin have more of it.

11. Again gravity and as far as the sun goes statistically speaking the odds of the whole universe not having a planet like ours is really small. So basically it was just a matter of where in the universe we'd be not if in the universe we'd be.

12. Light passing through the upper atmosphere is scattered but because of blue light's wavelength it passes through, hence the blue sky.

13. Why are animals unique? Because otherwise they'd all be the same animal. Why do they all have a place? Well anymore they really don't because man is taking over.

14. Because if he was real he made people like you who go on tirades without the facts and without using a little thing called spell check.

Seriously if you are going to go on a rant ask questions that aren't so easily answered. Read something other than the Bible. It's a great guide to living but there's a lot better science out there. I hope this has been informational. Peace.

Answer 4

1. Gravity keeps planets circling around. Inertia stops planets from ending up in the sun.
2. Once again, gravity is important. Also, land typically is higher up than the ocean. Finally, the ocean is not staying put, due to global warming.
3. Instinct, the same thing that makes babies breathe cry when they are first born.
4. The big bang is the prevailing theory, some people also believe that the universe expands and contracts.
5.Rain water is not salty, it gets filtered in the sky.
6. Female animals are (mostly) the only animals that have ANY pregnancy time, which explains why their pregnancy time is different from male animals. If you mean why different species have different pregnancy times: that's just evolution
7. Our sun is another pleasent by-product of the big bang, the sunset and sunrise happen because our earth spins while it orbits the sun. At times the sun is not facing us, and at times it is.
8. Weather is the way it is because of our atmosphere, exposure to the sun, and more and more because of global warming.
9. Seasons occur because of earth's orbit around the sun, distance from the equator, and certain natural resources that cause weather patterns.
10. We have different colors because over time different groups of people were exposed to different levels of the suns rays. Africans got a lot of sun, and developed pigments to filter some out. Europeans got less sun, and developed pigments to absorb sun.
11.Moon is kept in place by gravity...
12. We are not fried by the sun because we have a really nice atmosphere, and are pretty far from it.
13.The sky is blue because of reflections between the atmosphere and our eyes.
14. Almost every animal has a place because the world has evolved that way. Some don't have a place and die out.
15. I do not believe everything that man tells me
God is just another idea that man has told me about
The answers I gave make sense, blaming and crediting god for every last detail does not make sense.

Answer 5

Let me begin my answer by stating that I am a man of faith, I do believe in God and that God created all things.

Having said that, your question comes across as intended to support the idea that God created everything in the exact manner described in the Bible, that evolution is not true, that scientific knowledge cannot account for the phenomena that you allude to. I must say that this does nothing to further the position of religious beliefs in society, only comes across as ignorant (sorry) of scientific realities and makes faith seem for the simple minded only.

Many of your questions can be answered with a single word: gravity. This covers the planets, the oceans satying in their boundaries, sunset and sunrise, the moon staying in place.

The oceans are salty because they do not flow but rather water flows into them, letting salt accumulate but not filter out as it does from rivers and lakes. You can see that seas that are bound within continents also accumulate salt (the Great Salt Lake and the Dead Sea, for example).

Animals awaken from hibernation, have different gestation periods, different colouration (including humans) and all their other characteristics because they EVOLVED that way, in order to survive best in their various environments.

My point is this: God is not the answer to HOW things happen or HOW they work. Science is quite capable of figuring out those blanks. God is the answer to why, what is the purpose of life.

The childish view of faith that interprets scriptures literally and denies science when it contradicts their literal interpretations is what leads to the nonsense of "intelligent design" (in the sense of the political code of that phrase, meaning creationism) because such people cannot accept both evolution and God. Evolution is merely the HOW of God's act of creation.

Let me ask you: if you believe in the Bible as LITERAL truth, then how did Noah get all those creatures together for the ark? Did he and his family travel the whole world, at a time when travelling anywhere took months, to bring back elephants, bison, reindeer, grizzly bears, polar bears, crocodiles, llamas, kangaroos and all the other animals that populate this world? What an enormous undertaking. It would have consumed years and years of labour, tremendous resources (what do you feed your grizzly bear during the long trip back) and encyclopedic knowledge of the planet's fauna that even today's scientists do not possess. And, if Noah did not travel that far (a clear impossibility) to gather all that diversity, you are saying that these animals have diversified further since leaving the ark, meaning they EVOLVED.

Let the Bible be about morality and leave science to the science texts, please.

Answer 6

Study REAL science, physics, read Darwin's evolution theory, and try to imagine what millions of years actually means. Natural selection does not only make sense, is not only proven with dozens of ancient artifacts, but we exploit the very thing every day when breeding. It answers all those questions..

And just because everything seems to fit together so nicely does not mean that everything is perfect (as evolution is a thing of all times and continues as we speak), nor that everything was created in 1 day.. if you look at the world today as a snapshot, of course it is amazing. But when you see it develop over millions of years, under the very simple rule of natural selection, basic laws of nature, and know a bit about chaos theory, it all makes perfect sense. And had the laws of nature been different, no problem, then eventually things will have chrystalized into different life forms and existence.. who knows how long there was nothing until there was something.

Simple rule of probability is that no matter how small the chance is, eventually it will happen, and who knows how long there was nothing before all the necessary elements came together to create molecules from atoms, one more complex than the other, some forming complex molecules and chemical factories, before the first bacteria or amoebe existed, there were intermediate steps all the way, with an occasional leap.

Today we have midgets, people with down syndrome, 6 toes on each feet, sheep with 6 legs, nations with more very tall people than other nations, and they are getting taller all the time, albino's, New species of bugs and sea life discovered every single day, .. things are in motion, things change all the time, it's called evolution.

Answer 7

The only reason you came up with intelligent design is that Creation is no longer defensible even for the biggest bible hugging pseudo scientist.
Real scientist proofed your theory was wrong and so you found a new one.Religion has always claimed everything that was not yet explainable by science.As we speak scientists are working hard and they will proof you wrong again.Maybe it will take some time,we can not just imagine or make up a theory, but they will proof intelligent design is not possible and evolution is the only real science in this field.
I can already see what you will say then:God created evolution.So if your smart,try too learn it now already,cos you will defend this position in the future.

Answer 8

1. gravity
2. gravity and fluid dynamics
3. instinct
4. gravity (again)
5. fresh water that flows into land with salt deposits becomes salt water.
6. because they have different life spans and varying degrees of biological complexity that requires different gestation periods. (btw not all animals are pregnant - some lay eggs)
7. the sun doesn't move, the earth rotates every 24 hours, creating the illusion of a moving sun.
8. see above
9. weather has to do with converging high and low pressuse systems.
10. there are seasons because the earth has a 17 degree angle of declination in relation to its orbital plane, thus different hemisphers of the planet receive more sunlight (thus warmth) at different times of the year
11. skin pigment, races close to the equator have more to protect them from stronger solar radiation.
12. gravity, all gravity.
13. the sky is not blue, the atmosphere is reflecting blue light, so we see it as blue.
14. because they are all different species and have different needs for survival.
15. Why do you believe the men that tell you God exists?

Is that all? Let me know if you need more answers.

Answer 9

Questions, questions, questions...the easy no brain answer would be to hazard a guess that God makes it all possible and leave it there, it's for people who have little curiosity and just want any old answer that is quick and requires no effort on their own part.

The other way is for people to make scientific observations and find out what the real causes are. If you care to look up the science on these topics you are likely to find some good sound scientific explanations for why things happen the way they do. This will take a little effort...why not start googling and see what you can find out!

Answer 10

You ask a lot of questions, each which deserves its own proper answer.

I know that the 'intelligent design' uses one answer to cover them all (answer: an Intelligent Designer!). This answer may seem appealing to you since there is only one answer to memorize, but if you honestly want to know the true answer to each question, you will need to study many subjects in science, such as:

- orbital mechanics
- basic geology
- the role of hormones in regulating biological circadean rhythms
- physical properties of salt water (i.e. density)
- basic astronony (there are no inner space stars)
etc...

Good luck in your education, and I hope those questions were yours and not just copied from some ID web site.

Answer 11

the physical laws of the universe dictate everything that happens. Intelligent design is an attempt to use God to explain what science deduces happens. It is not science.
I happen to subscribe to deist theory, which states that God set it all in motion from the beginning, perhaps that God is even that "First Cause" that set off the Big Bang, but after that, God is up there watching what we do, to see how we screw it up.
Above all, let take a deep breath and relax.
