>FMAJ: Cool but a non sequitor. We do not have evidence of inteligent design
as it applies to biology.
>Nucacids: Ever hear of Dolly? Ever hear of a transgenic mouse? Or a rabbit
that glows green when placed under a black light?
>FMAJ: Interesting examples, but none apply to pre-existing biological
systems. That humans can manipulate genes is still no evidence that this
happened in the past.
> DNAunion: Your attempt at changing the subject to save face is noted.
>FMAJ: Please explain the relevance of this to evidence of design?
DNAunion: Okay stupid. You said, "We do not have evidence of inteligent
design as it applies to biology." Nucacids provided you with valid examples
of intelligent design in biology. You rejected his valid counter examples to
your ludicrous claim, and changed the subject to asking about evidence -
apparently empirical - of intelligent design in the past. That much is
obvious - you were outright, plainly, no one can deny, purely, unequivocally
wrong: and you attempted to divert us all from this fact by playing a typical
sleight of hand trick, hoping no one would notice or at least not comment.
>FMAJ: That we have evidence of design in systems we know were designed is
not evidence of design in existing biological systems.
DNAunion: Sure it is - it is called indirect evidence. That you don't like
it does not mean it is not evidence. It shows that intelligent agents can
manipulate biological entities. We have empirical evidence that intelligent
agents can create novel proteins and genomes, and in fact, can create
molecules found in all life that nature itself cannot produce (such as RNA,
which is not a prebiotically plausible molecule). This is indirect evidence
that supports the idea that intelligent intervention could have been involved
in the appearance of life on Earth - and in fact, with the generally-accepted
existence of ETI's, becomes more parsimonious than a purely-natural origin of
life here on Earth.
>FMAJ: I like you ad hom though. Keep up the good work
DNAunion: Sure, I will be glad to continue to point out your tactics and
shortcomings - no need to ask.
