Evidences of Intelligent Design Continued…
31. The enormity of the challenges that living things present to those attempting to understand them. The language of biology is as complex and convoluted as it gets! That’s necessary in order to make more or less precise descriptions of what we can figure out about them anyway.
32. “Alternation of generations” allows certain creatures to grow and reproduce as completely different forms of life. Ferns live in two distinct forms. One form has only half the full complement of chromosomes and the other form develops from the full complement of chromosomes. Locusts will only develop into the swarming type under certain conditions, otherwise this insect will reproduce as ordinary grasshoppers. These are complex design considerations.
33. Man’s attempts at creating “living cells” are rather feeble and shabby compared to anything out there in nature. The One behind the design of real creatures was obviously smarter then us. Yet, we allow people to call these “scientists” “intelligent” don’t we?
34. Very similar species often have completely different food preferences. Most bears will eat almost anything that’s edible, yet the panda(if it can be called a bear) will only eat tender bamboo leaves. More intelligent design considerations were needed to fit feeding habits.
35. It’s becoming popular among evolutionists to point out a few odd features of living things that they criticize as “unintelligent” or at least somehow “defective” to their thinking. These are actually useful to contrast everything else in nature that showcases intelligent design so wonderfully.
36. Chromosomes are neatly bundled strands of DNA. Kind of like the way rock climbers stow long ropes in a coil that’s bound around the middle by a loop so it doesn’t unravel and get tangled up. Sounds like an intelligent idea? Well?
37. Think of how penguins use their little wings as flippers to fly skillfully through the water with such speed that they are able to chase down fleeing fish. Why can’t we figure out how to propel our submarines with wing-like flippers? Is it because the technology is too far beyond our capabilities, our intelligence?
38. The tongue is used to manipulate food to help us chew our food. It also enables us to articulate speech and intonate our whistling to make songs. We tend to take it for granted, but it’s an amazing design.
39. The Creator knew we’d skin our knees a few times growing up. So He gave us knee protectors, “knee caps”.
40. Robots have been around for nearly 50 years and we still struggle to design a “hand”.
Well, that’s enough for now. Surely ID easily qualifies as “good science”, maybe too good and perhaps that’s the problem??
