ID proponents: Is this the crux of ID logic, that if modern science can't explain it then, Goddidit?

Answer 1

We do believe God did it, yes........

I think modern science explains a lot, and I believe that God did it based on scientific principles.....because that's the way the world works....but there's still sooooo much more that science can't explain............

no, it doesn't make God worthless when "science does explain it".....as I have said, I think God works within nature by the laws of science which he created.........that's my opinion....

I don't need my opinion to be validated by others.....you seem to have missed my point

Answer 2

No, that's an over simplified view of ID. The ID argument doesn't necessitate "God" but only an intelligent designer more advanced than humanity is at it's current state of technological development.

An archaeologist finds a triangular stone made out of flint or obsidian that has sharpened edges and regular markings on it and concludes that this object was an arrowhead formed by primitive man for use in hunting. Or he finds markings on the wall of a cave that look very similar to drawings of animals and concludes that human beings made these representations of complex life forms.

ID asks the question "If an archaeologist comes to these rational conclusions about the origins of things found on this earth that were made long ago then how can the same person find a bone that was part of a complex creature, that served a purpose in the architecture or it's anatomy, that contains a complex code beyond what we can currently design or understand in each cell of the bone, how then is it logical to conclude that all of this information that serves a specific purpose is the result of random chance?

How can a simple cave drawing of an animal be the product of an intelligent designer and the complex biological machine that the drawing represents be the result of time plus chance plus natural selection?"

"Although the tiniest bacterial cells are incredibly small, each is in effect a veritable microminiaturized factory containing thousands of exquisitely designed pieces of intricate molecular machinery, made up of 100,000,000,000 atoms, far more complicated than any machine built by man and absolutely without parallel in the nonliving world."

The "simple cell" turns out to be a miniaturized city of unparalleled complexity and adaptive design, including automated assembly plants and processing units featuring robot machines (protein molecules with as many as 3,000 atoms each in three-dimensional configurations) manufacturing hundreds of thousands of specific types of products. The system design exploits artificial languages and decoding systems, memory banks for information storage, elegant control systems regulating the automated assembly of components, error correction techniques and proofreading devices for quality control.

All by chance? All without a Designer?

Answer 3

Science has many answers to give. But has yet to answer all the questions about life. Maybe those answers will not be found because God did do it. The answer is always given enough time we will prove it. Just as we are accused as using God as a crutch others use time as a crutch. I say how can you look around and see the complexity of the world around you and think it all happened by accident.

Answer 4

No. ID logic is trust God, believe God, exalt God and then all science will fall into truth instead of falsehood.

Only two religions my friend, God or man. You are choosing man and modern science knows very little about anything. Imagine what we will know when we give God His rightful place.

Answer 5

There is evidence for humans. There is no evidence for a creator. That's how archaeologists can come to that conclusion. There are also proven methods for making a drawing. can you tell me how a creator could create the earth and all life. ID may sound logical but there is no evidence for it. Just people using "logic" which is there own prejudices to try n debunk evolution.

Answer 6

To answer the previous answerer who said "there still sooo much science doesn't know.": This doesn't mean we should resort to God. This makes God completely worthless (if not more so) when science does come up with an explanation.

Answer 7

Pretty much. Why give science a chance to prove it when there's proof in the Bible?

The proof of the Bible being the Bible itself, of course.

Answer 8

No. Actually and sadly it's not. They try to bend
science so it fits their ridiculous theories.

Answer 9

That's called God of Gaps.
