Is my understanding correct that your agreeing that evolution is not in crisis? And that for you evolution is not in crisis because evolution is being guided by design?Evolution without intelligent design is becoming a crisis.
Nobody is claiming that it's driven by chance or blind interaction. It's driven by natural selection, which is much more powerful.Evolution without intelligent design is becoming a crisis. The more it's studied the more chance or blind interaction isn't cutting the mustard.
Evolution deals with the natural world...
Can you just stop with the non-sequiturs? There's actually scope here for an interesting discussion
It is a claim just as its a claim life spontaneously happens as well.That's the start of a claim. Got any thing to back this claim? (Also intelligent design is just crypto-creationism, keep that in mind.)
How can a design have no designer?Is my understanding correct that your agreeing that evolution is not in crisis? And that for you evolution is not in crisis because evolution is being guided by design?
They say that for a standard 52 card deck trillions of poker hands are possible and that they’ve never repeated in all the casinos and penny-ante games played all over the world from time immemorial, but that time you got dealt a straight-flush was when you got dealt a straight-flush.
Indeed the natural intelligently selects what it was designed to do. Sort of like Monarch butterflies migrating from Canada to Mexico they carry on their memories over multiple generations to get where their going and back. Stem cells are the libraries of species, most are long gone with no trace of their existence.Nobody is claiming that it's driven by chance or blind interaction. It's driven by natural selection, which is much more powerful.
I see you agree as well.I take that as a yes, evolution is not in crisis.
How can a design have no designer?
This is a claim I've seen bandied around more times than once; that evolution is a 'theory in crisis'.
And yet not one person I've seen make that claim is able to actually say how or why it's in crisis.
So, this is my challenge: show me how and/or why the theory of evolution is a 'theory in crisis'?
If you say it's not, don't comment saying it's not, since that's not need for this thread.
Same reason why the immortal jellyfish was designed to live forever. How many designers does it take to create forever?How can a designer have no designer?

Because a designer that has always been doesn't need another designer. I've shown you how death can be defeated like the immortal jellyfish yet you don't believe something living forever is possible when nature clearly shows its biologically possible.Please answer the question.

Not even sure what this statement is supposed to mean.It is a claim just as its a claim life spontaneously happens as well.
Trace amounts of gold (or any other element) being part of life is not a claim of evolutionary necessity that any theory of evolution makes. Evolution "optimizes" for the environment a creature lives in using the resources available. If there was no gold it would use some other path to achieve the same task. How does "the use of gold" by biological organisms constitute a crisis for evolution theory? (I don't see it.)There are alot of elements that need to be in the right place at the right time. Mutations adaption regeneration etc. Is just a smidgen of things needed.
Gold in the human body for brain activity and joints etc. tells alot about intelligence and that is formed from a supernova. A thoughtless rise of life imo isn't plausible considering the shear amount of elements it takes to create it.
How does this constitute a "crisis in evolution"? Some creature develops the capability to revert to an earlier stage in development. So what. Every cell in your body (and mine and everyone's) comes from a continuous sequence of living cells that have been alive for billions of years without interruption.A mindless evolve that ends up creating a jellyfish that is physically able to live forever isn't a fluke "one off" or by chance. The immortal jellyfish, yes chances of it living forever is zero yet the design the capability is a fact. If everything in the universe has a limit why such a creature that can defy those laws of lifespan.
This is a long recognized signal of common decent. It is nowhere near evidence of a crisis in evolution. Quite the opposite. (Nearly all primates also have 5 digits on each hand/foot with nails. Same reason.)Simple things like all mammals on earth have 7 vertebrae except 2. No matter the size, only something that has a blueprint to follow such a long path of existence is designed too.
How can chance or blind interaction explain following such a pattern of seven vertebrae. What law of evolution causes that? Certainly not diversity, it holds to a strict number of seven no matter the mammals but two.
Science doesn't invent things. It discovers how things work. If you thought otherwise, you were mistaken.Science didn't invent most things it discovers what has already been created. Using a variety of things to replicate it.
There's a large amount of technology that has been created by studying the properties of its counterpart in nature and re-creating the ability.
Name something that is designed without a designer?Which means that a design doesn't by necessity require a designer, hence your previous question is invalid.
