For believers in Intelligent design..................?

Question

Do you believe that the designer was perfect?Do you believe that we were originally designed with pheromone systems for a reason that we don't need anymore?Couldn't the design have been better;such as putting chloroplasts in our skin for us to eat and sunbathe at the same time?
Basically why would intelligent design come up with such an imperfect product?

Ligeia - what???????????

Fred S - you look and sound like Doc from back to the future but make less sense.

Answer 1

You know, maybe – Ligeia – is on to something. God getting Mary pregnant could, in a sense, be considered bestiality. We also know that the semi-nomadic Semitic tribes of illiterate goat herders that made all this crap up in the first place actually had to appeal to their God for a ruling on whether having sex with their livestock was OK or not. You might want to be careful about letting any Christians around your pets.

Better watch your backside, there, gibbonboy.

Answer 2

1.) Do you even try to study and read about evolution and natural selection? Do you only look at the flaws and ignore the rest? Yes, I study evolution extensively and have come to appreciate some of its supporters like Richard Dawkins, who is also a great argumenter. No, I do not only look at the flaws and ignore the rest. 2.) How can you actually teach intelligent design? Is it just trying to pick out evolution flaws and simply say god created human beings? I don't teach intelligent design. I choose to give my evidence for supporting it and let people come to their own conclusions, which is the same as evolutionists should do, but instead they fall into the same fatalsim they claim Creationists do. The evidence I have for believing in God will only work for me. It's life experiences. Before I knew what God was, I knew something was off. When I learned about God, things started coming into place. Is it possible science could have filled this void? Maybe. But it didn't. I don't pick out evolution flaws. I look at inconsistencies, evidence for, evidence against, and consistencies. I don't care for the scientific method. I don't think everything can be put in a method and analyzed. I can't be put in the scientific method and analyzed that way. I'm not rational, as I also believe no human is. I look at the evidences, I look at the openness of possibilities, and I chose the one I believed was true. 3.) What kind of process do intelligent design "scientists" go through in order to support the statement that a higher power created species? I have no idea. Everyone has their own process for coming to conclusions. Even evolutionists choose different data, different starting points, different assumptions, different variables, and come up with differing results, even if their conclusion (evolution is true) is the same. Same with creationists. That's why many creationists don't all agree that the earth is 6,000 years old, they don't all believe in just 1 creation, and they don't all believe it happened in 6 literal days. If the facts and evidences were absolute, everyone would believe the same thing. Since it's open ended, the solution is complicated, and is most likely impossible to imperically determine.

Answer 3

I definitely do believe in intelligent design.

The LORD God did make all things perfect but, as I am sure you already know, man was given freewill and misused it.
If you read about the Garden of Eden in the early chapters of Genesis, God looked at everything He had made and 'it was good'.

If we are truthful with ourselves we would all, especially when young, prefer to do 'our own thing' rather than have to obey God or anyone. It takes a few knocks in life to shape our character and steady us down.

The Bible tells us that if we do learn from our mistaken attitudes and wish to obey and trust in God as He wishes then we
have the hope of the kingdom on earth when Jesus returns.
This kingdom will have just government that we can trust, it will be a wonderful not to have the evil and corruption that is rife today.

This is the hope, we either believe and accept God's ways or reject them and continue on the dying process until the inevitable, sad end.

Choose life, what can you lose. It's a 'no brainer'.

Answer 4

I always figured the designer could not have been perfect because we have so many flaws....unless that's part of the perfect plan......imperfection creates perfection?

Answer 5

The imperfect product you refer to is a direct result of something called sin.

Answer 6

Much that was once considered useless has proved otherwise.
Surely even a mock-scientist knows that.

Answer 7

Without saying what I believe, if we want diversity in life, perfection is impossible. Besides, perfection would be an opinion.

Answer 8

Your question is not clear. Which designer?
Are you referring to God?

Answer 9

Part of the perfection is the inability of the designed to fully understand all the perfection of the design. The inability to understand each perfect design elements is not a flaw, it is yet another beneficial, perfect design element. We know the design is perfect, because the designer is perfect, which in turn we know because the perfection fo the design is proof of the designer's perfection. Plus, you have free will thrown in there. Perfect religious logic, all wrapped up in a pretty bow for you.

Answer 10

Intelligent design through evolution is what I believe in. The designer (God) is most assuredly perfect. Evolution is an ongoing process throughout the universes. Everything is evolving into perfection. It hasn't been achieved and the product isn't perfect yet.
