I did not say that you are not thinking, rather your bias prevents you from looking intuitively to intellegence behind complicated order. Your bias is towards order from chaos and you are unwilling to consider that the complicated path towards order, through consistent and interconnected patterns are authored by intellegencia.
Relying on intuition is a lousy way to determine what is true. Intuition would tell you that weight makes things fall faster. Intuition would tell you that the solution to the Monty Hall problem is 50%.
What are the probabilities anyway?
Why don't you tell me the variables and then we can get started...
To you, it appears 0%. Why?
I wouldn't say that it is 0%. If I am shown good solid evidence, I will be happy to change my position. Unfortunately, no one can give me a sound reason to do so.
Then please show me where you have justified your claim that your position that repeating patterns must equal conscious intelligence behind it all.
I am saying that your claim negates intellegence and that you never apply the consistent and repeated paths taken towards order as having an intellegence. This one intelligence has left signiture marks everywhere. I am saying that it is not OK for you to ignore intellegence. You need to atleast consider intellegence in your deductive reasoning, otherwise you appear to me as a religious person holding onto dogma.
I will not ignore intelligence. You, however, don't seem to realise that you have not provided sufficient evidence that there is an intelligence involved.
You see. You sound like a religious person to me!
And what, pray tell, about the phrase, "Evolution does not describe where matter came from," is religious in nature?
Apparently the Evolution theory is solely based on the most inefficient paths, before A PATH is found. Now if there is A Path to Evolution, then why is the signiture fibonnici pattern showing up every, from the finite to the infinite.
Because it's an efficient way of doing things?
Are you claiming that the fibonnici pattern is the most efficient path that could be taken?
Sure, why not?
It's probably more complicated than that, but it will do for basics.
If so, then that flies in the face of evolution theory, because where is the randomness or the multitude of chaotic Paths taken?
I've said many times that evolution is not random.
And don't assume that means there's an intelligence behind it, because there are plenty of ways to get non-random results without having an intelligence do it.
If you cannot find evidence for evolution theory in nature, then it fails to meet evolutionist doctrinal dogma.
Luckily then there's a mountain of evidence. Literally huge amounts of evidence, all supporting evolution.
You see, in Evolution there would be organisms that reach a goal more efficiently in an environment, yet the same organism in time and space may be superseeded by another, which is more efficient. Those organisms have taken different paths to reach order of efficiency in their time, so show us the evidence of embedded algorithmic paths that are numerous and found qualifiably and quantifiably throughout nature?
Sure. Happens all the time. For instance, many of the native animals in Australia, well adapted to fit their environment, but then an introduced species comes in and drives the native animals to the point of extinction.
And easily explainable by evolution.
Please do not tell me that only one efficient embedded algorithm exists across the board and throughout time and space.
You are the one going on about algorithms...
Again, you fail to see that over time the path taken that was efficient then, may not be efficient now.
No, I understand that perfectly. For example, the woolly mammoth, very well adapted, but was unable to cope with changes in its environment and so died out. Or neanderthal man, again, unable to compete with humans when humans spread. Just two out of many cases where an organism that was well adapted to fit its environment died out because it wasn't able to adapt to changes.
This means that another intelligence, like the example of the first and second engineer would establish two paths, one more efficient than the other. As a result two signature patterns exist which inform us of a more than one embedded algorithmic path taken towards the solution/order.
Please tell me how you have discounted all other options. Do you think that getting better and better and better at something is always going to be an improvement?
Why should the eyes of the zebra become so good that they can spot a lion 3 kilometers away? Why should the cheetah evolve so it can run at 100 kilometers an hour? Both of these are overkill. The lion three kilometers away is no threat, so why bother about it? A speed of 100 kph is much faster than any prey animal can run, so a lower speed will add only an insignificant time to the length of pursuit. And the costs of these developments will far outweigh any advantage they confer.
So you presented two intelligence agents, the first and second engineer. Why can you not see that only one single embedded algorithmic path is found in our material universe, that is unaffected by time and space and remains consistent?
But evolution IS affected by time and space. Environments change over time. Animals move throughout space. And they will face new challenges every time they do.
Does this not highlight to you a single intelligencia, or a single Engineer who has used the same path consistently throughout time and space?
You seem to be fixated on this idea, and you also seem to be constantly trying to fit all the evidence into this picture. Don't decide on the conclusion and try to find evidence to support it. That's a bad way of reaching the truth.
Are you saying that only ONE efficient embedded algorithmic path exists?
No, that would be you...
That would dicredit the evolution theory.
But I never said it, did I?
Or are you saying that there is no random and no chaotic paths taken, because there is only one efficient path that could have been taken?
There are many efficient paths. We have fish, we have mammal versions of fish in the form of dolphins. We have bird versions of fish in the form of penguins. We have deer, we have marsupial versions of deer in the form of kangaroos. Nature has developed many ways of filling the same niches in different environments. If there is a living to be made, say, eating grass, then some organism will evolve to fit that niche. And that form may be quite different in different areas of the world, such as the deer and kangaroos I mentioned before.
In this case, evolution theory is done for, because there should not have been millions of millions of misses before a hit.
But evolution doesn't work that way.
You obviously don't actually understand evolution. Why don't you try familiarising yourself with it before dismissing it?
If it took such a long time for an efficient path to order to be realised, then we should see an infinite array of embedded algirithmic paths taken throughout nature. But why is only one path scientifically observable and measurable?
And what path is that?
Because the other inefficient paths taken million of million of years to find in establishing order did NOT exist. Therefore the religion of evolution is busted.
There have been many lines of descent in evolution which have led to extinction because the organisms were not efficient enough at making a living.
Begging the question is when an assumption is used as one of the premises.
You have made the assumption that there is a creator, you have made the assumption that there is only a single algorithm... Certainly looks like you are begging the question to me!
You haven't come close to showing it. All you've done is use your misunderstanding of evolution to say that you don't think it could work. So you are compiling both the argument from incredulity with a strawman.
Because it is truth. You know as the saying goes, "can you handle the truth?".
It's still condescending.
Sometimes truth needs to be delivered with a conviction that may appear to be condescending, but deep down in the heart it is for strengthening and edifying that individual. I guarantee you that you have my utmost respect.
You talk to me about something you do not understand, you dismiss it without understanding it, you tell me that I am guilty of the very thing that you are doing...
You do not seem to be respecting me...
Are you serious! How can you say that?
Because it is truth. You know as the saying goes, "can you handle the truth?".
See? It goes both ways, pal.
Evidence is the consistent embedded algorithmic path found in matter and throughout the universe, that is the Fibonacci signiture.
Is that going to be your one trick pony? Much like AV with his embedded age, or dad with his different past state (speaking of which, haven't seen him around for a while.)
In any case, the Fibonacci sequence is NOT found everywhere in nature.
Fibonacci Flim-Flam.
Are you saying that the Fibonacci path, is the only efficient path to order?
Hmmmmm...........I am waiting for a sincere reply and not a dogmatic one.
Since nature often doesn't even use it (see my link above), obviously not.
If you were to consider the same process over time, would you see the exact same path taken to sift the smaller ones amongst themselves and the larger ones amongst themselves.
No.
I hope that you would say that there would be a multiple paths to the same order. No particulate is the same shape or size and if you look at it microscopically you would find different arrangements amongst the smaller ones, everytime you did the test.
What does this mean?
It means that you failed to exactly replicate the first test, resulting in multiple paths, which would suggest different attempt.
Agreed. I'm glad you agree with me that there are many paths in nature to the most efficient result.
Now when we consider the Fibonacci signiture pattern found in DNA, not only is it the same across the board in all sprectrum of life, but it is consistently reproduced every time new life comes into being.
I've already shown it is not.
Now if you being a very intelligent person is unable to replicate the attempts of obtaining the exact same path taken for the layering of particulates, then how can you discount an intellegencia that does this exactly to the DNA finite matter everytime and without fail?
Are you actually comparing the random movement of a box sorting stones by size to the replication of DNA?
Your example further illustrates that there must exist an intelligence exhibiting the same consistent path over and over again.
Random shaking of box sorts stones by size, therefore God?
REALLY?
If our DNA did not have the Fibonacci pattern consistently every time, then we may or may not be walking and breathing prototypes and that no living entity would exhibit the human that has stayed consistent throughout time and space.
Why do you assume that it must be the result of a creator and not simply an efficient way of doing things, arrived at just as the stones always arrive in their sorted layers - without intelligence?
I have seen no evidence to suggest that we have a creator. You certainly have not been able to provide any.
Evolution theory is just a religious dogmatic book that is all!
- Evolution is not a book.
- Evolution has no holy text.
- Evolution has no holy people.
- Evolution has no dogma which can never be challenged.
- Evolution has no rites or ceremonies.
- Evolution is not based on faith.
Evolution is not a religion. Although, I once again find it very amusing that you try to make evolution look bad by claiming it is just a religion like your beliefs. If religions are so bad, does that mean your religion is bad as well?
Which further supports intelligencia as described above.
Wow, you really were serious?
Let me spell it out to you:
The sorting of particles by size due to random motion is NOT evidence for intelligence.
You would not be able to sort the same small particulates the same way on every attempt without fail. Every attempt will be different and if this was so with DNA, atomic arrangements and chemical molecule ratios, then every attempt would yield a prototype and that no prototypes are the same in matter.
Wow, you really think it requires every single piece to be in the same exact location?


It will always have the same result in that the smallest pieces will always be at the bottom, the largest pieces will always be at the top, and the other pieces will be sorted through based on their size.
We are talking about Fibonacci pattern found in paths leading to consistently repeated and sustained life.
Oh, you mean like this?
Oh wait! That shell doesn't match the blue lines!
I guess you're wrong!
This is not a sifting through sand grains, but is a configuration and creation of life. You can throw sand in a box all you like, the result is still sand. The Fibonacci pattern is what leads to a consistent and repeated path for the conversion of matter to life and there is a big difference between what I have been discussing and your throwing sand in a box or cereal in a box experiment.
Once again, the Fibonacci spiral is NOT found everywhere, as I have demonstrated several times already in this response.
So when ever you attempted this exercise you would yield a different pattern and a different path. If Fibonacci sequence and ratios found in DNA were infinitesimally changed then you would not yield a human being consistently.
Once again, the ratio could just be an efficient way of doing things that evolution stumbled upon ages ago. You have NOT shown why that is not the solution, you just make the conclusion that it has to be the result of intelligence because you can't conceive of it being any different. In short, argument from incredulity.
This pattern plays a role in the conversion of matter to a lifeform. If you can find over attempts then show us those patterns.
Fraid note.
Now in the Christian Bible it says repeatedly the following......
Everything that God (Intellegencia) made was perfect from the beginning.
Like how that picture of the shell I posted perfectly matches the spiral? Oh wait, it didn't...
If a claim exists like this before humanity was technologically converse then now as a technologically converse society, we have proven that that claim to be scientifically true, because life only shows one efficient embedded algorithmic path for the conversion of matter to life forms.
Yeah. Claiming that a deity made things to be perfect. So technical.
Well, you seem to have such a jolly for the idea. Are you telling me there's MORE THAN ONE ALGORITHM?
Everything has a path to order and must be scientifically observed and measured, quantifiably and qualifiably.
And evolution does it.
Order comes from intelligence friend, everytime and without fail.
My shaking box full of stones of different sizes always being sorted so that the large ones are on top and the smallest are on the bottom would like to disagree with you.
Whilst you have demonstrated order with the sand particulates, you failed to understand that the conversion of matter to life is not a random and chance phenomena, otherwise everytime an attempt is made, there would be a change in the embedded signiture pattern and in this regard we see no change. One Fibonacci signitured pattern which is seen from the finite to the infinite
My sand analogy does demonstrate that order can come WITHOUT an intelligence making it happen.
God is Perfect.
God is NOT ordered! God IS Order!
God is NOT loving! God IS Love!
Buzzwords. They sound impressive but ultimately mean nothing.
The source is never the action, just like the bulb that transmits light is NOT the action of light itself.
Um, actually you are wrong. Lightbulbs DO actually produce light. They do not just transmit it from some other location.
No two intersections are the same. Yet civil engineers go of engineering drawings of the same copy of the intersection. The final product has different paths, depending on the lead civil engineer.
Yet our DNA make-up has the same Engineer! So go figure.
Once again you are begging the question.
Are you going to deny it and force me to point out that you are assuming there is a creator in order to show there is a creator?
I took time to reply to you. I have only good feedback for you and that is that your heart's conviction will lead you to the truth of the matter, for I have only laid the seed, for you to scrutinise what you have been taught and told.
Yeah, when it comes to finding out the truth of things, I only care about one thing - evidence. If I can't back up my position, then it's just an opinion, not fact.
