definitions are problematic. say that you will find something that looks like a robot. but instead of plastic its made of organic components like living thing. will you conclude design or not?I may have missed it; what is your definition of a robot? All discussions of your "theory" (hypothesis, speculation, brain burp) are pointless without that.
so a robot with DNA is evidence for design?If you could produce such a robot (a mechanical construct) that has DNA (a biological component), then that would be evidence of design.
Only if there is evidence of design. "Looking like a robot made of organic materials" is not evidence of design.definitions are problematic. say that you will find something that looks like a robot. but instead of plastic its made of organic components like living thing. will you conclude design or not?
so artificial penguin is a robot by that definition. right?A robot is a machine that resembles a living creature in being capable of moving independently and performing complex actions.
Definitions may be problematic, but until you have provided one I see no point and no means to answer your question.definitions are problematic. say that you will find something that looks like a robot. but instead of plastic its made of organic components like living thing. will you conclude design or not?
do you agree that if we will find such a watch with DNA it will be evidence for design?In general, I'd be inclined to go with a standard dictionary definition, such as, "a portable timepiece designed to be worn (as on the wrist) or carried in the pocket".
Let's cut to the chase here and put aside your silly imaginary objects. Functional complexity is not evidence of design.do you agree that if we will find such a watch with DNA it will be evidence for design?
Of course it can look like a penguin. But looking like something does not mean being that thing.a robot cant looks like a penguin?
You would have to be able to show that making organic components is doable.what if its made of organic components?
Hold on: what is your definition of a robot?definitions are problematic. say that you will find something that looks like a robot. but instead of plastic its made of organic components like living thing. will you conclude design or not?
My wife made a similar mistake. She thought I looked like I would make a reasonably good husband.Of course it can look like a penguin. But looking like something does not mean being that thing.
I don't understand how this simplest of concepts is difficult for you.
so a robot with DNA is evidence for design?
If we find such a watch with DNA, I would suspect it's a murder scene.do you agree that if we will find such a watch with DNA it will be evidence for design?
I think I know this one: that we are animal impressionists?Let me understand this. Let's suppose we build a penguin out of biological parts. Let's suppose further that we give them DNA and reproductive systems. Let's suppose they do reproduce and there are mutations and that penguins evolve however.
Let's grant all of this. What have we shown?
That would strictly depend whether we copied the natural penguins or designed our own from scratch (or maybe a little copying and a little designing)...Let me understand this. Let's suppose we build a penguin out of biological parts. Let's suppose further that we give them DNA and reproductive systems. Let's suppose they do reproduce and there are mutations and that penguins evolve however.
Let's grant all of this. What have we shown? That humans have ingenuity. Nothing else. There would be those penguins that aren't designed and these penguins that we designed.
If it's the offspring of an earlier generation, ie your fantasy watch had reproduced and we are looking at it's descendant, then we would not have evidence of design, we would have evidence of successful reproduction.do you agree that if we will find such a watch with DNA it will be evidence for design?
