Then I guess revelation ain't all it's cracked up to be.

It takes the help of the Holy Spirit to pull it off. :bow:

People resist authority, even if it harms them to do so.

My way of thinking, and thus doing, has been very successful for me. The notion of evolution runs counter to my way of thinking. Creation on the other hand fits nicely with the way I think.

If you are fine with living in error then that is fine. But trying to pass on false beliefs to others should be viewed as a sin.

Again, it is far more likely to be just confirmation bias. If you cannot think of a rational way to test your beliefs they are not very reliable.

I just state what I believe. I don't try to influence others.

I mostly accept them instinctually at this point.

I mean that people reason themselves around authority, be it legal, professional, or religious authority.

Rocks have design.

This doesn't actually address the point I was raising.

When everything that exists can be described by the word "designed", then the word becomes meaningless.

I believe everything was designed, even rocks.
So you can't discern a difference between a rock and a watch.
If you can't determine a difference between design and non design, and you can't, then you cannot determine what design is.

So would any evidence of evolution change your mind about that at all?

What is not designed and how do you tell the difference, if everything is designed you are just saying that design = exist, so just say exist and admit that design doesn't exist.
What is not designed?
