Earth intelligently DESIGNED?

Question

The majority of men of science believe that in the beginning the universe started in an explosion, namely the "Big Bang."

In bible it states, in the beginning God created the Heaven(s) and the Earth and that the Big Bang will occur in the future.

2 Peter 3:10

"But the day of the Lord will come as a thief in the night; in the which the heavens shall pass away with a great noise, and the elements shall melt with fervent heat, the earth also and the works that are therein shall be burned up."

They say that it's by chance that there's life on Earth.
It's by chance that there's water on earth so animals and plants can drink and survive.
It's by chance that most of the gases aren't colored so the sun will not be veiled.
It's by chance that there's rain so it will shower the plants.
It's by chance that the earth is in the right location, not too far or too near from or to the sun.

Do you believe that God intelligently designed the Earth?
If us humans designed cars, who designed us?

Answer 1

Blah,blah, blah...

Answer 2

Earth intelligently DESIGNED?

-no, it's not

The majority of men of science believe that in the beginning the universe started in an explosion, namely the "Big Bang."

-yes. Most support that hypothesis over others


They say that it's by chance that there's life on Earth.

-Yes, you pretty much got the idea.

It's by chance that there's water on earth so animals and plants can drink and survive.

-Um, no, it is the product of hydrogen oxidation, a result of a natural process, not "chance". The water is the reason animals and plants exist, if there was no water, other life would exist that didn't drink water.

It's by chance that most of the gases aren't colored so the sun will not be veiled.

-Actually, I think you'll find out that gasses are in fact colored, they're just not dense enough to see in gaseous form. Ever seen liquid oxygen? It's blue. The color of an element is pretty much determined by its electron configuration, there's precise rules, not chance, at work.

It's by chance that there's rain so it will shower the plants.

-No, that's pretty much basic physics. Water vapor is light enough to rise in the air, and upper atmosphere is cold enough to condence the water to liquid, and gravity ensures the drops will fall. So, again, a process, not chance

It's by chance that the earth is in the right location, not too far or too near from or to the sun.

-somewhat accurate, it's pretty much up to chance, but then again, it's a pretty wide area that humans would find livable... I think we could go a few million miles closer or futher without problems. And even a wider range for any life to exist. The planet isn't here for you, you're here because the planet happened to be here.

Do you believe that God intelligently designed the Earth?

-No, not at all

If us humans designed cars, who designed us?

-that's a faulty analogue, others have already pointed out that the modern car didn't just appear all perfect, it's the latest form of a old invention (wheel).

-Humans are a phase of a long natural process, not artifacts. If you breed a dog, does it mean that someone bred your parents? The analogue doesn't work like that.

Make sense?

Answer 3

Humans are not cars.

Humans are complex organisms who came to be so through evolutionary processes.

And you can believe that there is order to the universe without believing that some big sky fairy created it all. And if you believe that rain, the earth being in a certain position (humans will be cursing the position of earth when the sun starts dying, by the way), and that gases not being colored are all by CHANCE...well, you really need to pick up a textbook. ALL non-believers think these things are more complex than that. Remember, you're talking to scientists--we have scientific answers for nearly everything. If we don't, we will. Christians are the ones lacking the complexity in their beliefs--"big sky daddy did it" is not the most convincing of answers.

Answer 4

Yes, God intelligently desinged the earth, and things have gotten so "scientifically" messed up that the rocks are crying out: http://video.google.com/videoplay?docid=5725394906886443944

Rom 1:20 For the invisible things of him from the creation of the world are clearly seen, being understood by the things that are made, even his eternal power and Godhead; so that they are without excuse:
Rom 1:21 Because that, when they knew God, they glorified him not as God, neither were thankful; but became vain in their imaginations, and their foolish heart was darkened.
Rom 1:22 Professing themselves to be wise, they became fools,
Rom 1:23 And changed the glory of the uncorruptible God into an image made like to corruptible man, and to birds, and fourfooted beasts, and creeping things.
Rom 1:24 Wherefore God also gave them up to uncleanness through the lusts of their own hearts, to dishonour their own bodies between themselves:
Rom 1:25 Who changed the truth of God into a lie, and worshipped and served the creature more than the Creator, who is blessed for ever. Amen.

Answer 5

You are certainly kidding. You are taking a quote as usual and trying to make it fit. It doesn't fit into anything except some dogma. It your created then why isn't everything perfect including the correct belief in his dictatorship. There are so many religions around, not one of them is the same, so the creational view doesn't hold water [pun].

Further, if he/she/or it created - it would have created science -- all was created from he/she/it.

Answer 6

Yes, the things you described are by chance. If they had happened otherwise, a different kind of life would probably still have emerged. Your point is meaningless.

God did not intelligently design the Earth. There is no designer.

Answer 7

I don't believe that God designed anything because I don't believe in God.

Cars would not have been possible if not for the gradual evolution of individual ideas (the wheel, controlled combustion, newtonian physics, pavement, traffic logistics, etc., etc., etc.). In the same way, humans emerged from the evolution of various biological processes.

No designer needed.

Answer 8

Many bacteria are needed for earth. maximum in all probability there have been lots of mutations on the fall (which guy brought about, by potential of ways) that made a number of them risky or maybe deadly. maximum cancers got here approximately in the process the degradation of human DNA over the path of 6000 years. Viruses might have been created on the fall, or might have already existed for some effective objective, yet have been corrupted on the fall.

Answer 9

The point you are trying to make is well intentioned.
But the problem is, that when people who have submitted to life by chance belief, they can not see the 'maybe' words, that are used as seasoning in the scientific publications regarding this subject.
Many times, on evolution/biogenesis websites, the key words like, could have been, or probably, are totally ignored by those who have been preconditioned to belief in life by chance.
Just as the blind believer in a religion, so it goes with the person who has submitted to the 'if's' of the 'science' of life by chance.

For instance, the answerer 'cunning linguist' (maybe we are not supposed to get this sexual inuendo) totally proves the point I have made.
He answer, 'the Bible say it's so, is proof', is just as programmed into, science said it's so, is proof, totally ignoring the fact that science does not 'say it's so, it 'suggests it is so.
Way to go atheist!

Answer 10

Or could it be that we are adapted to the circumstances of the universe and that if the universe was different then it would be different. Name one instance in science where an entire abiotic system is adapted to us instead of the other way around.

Answer 11

If you believe that evolution can account for the origin of life, you must also believe that 1000 monkeys typing on 1000 typewriters over 200 million years could eventually come up with The Encyclopedia Britanica.. good luck
