  • CF has always been a site that welcomes people from different backgrounds and beliefs to participate in discussion and even debate. That is the nature of its ministry. In view of recent events emotions are running very high. We need to remind people of some basic principles in debating on this site. We need to be civil when we express differences in opinion. No personal attacks. Avoid you, your statements. Don't characterize an entire political party with comparisons to Fascism or Communism or other extreme movements that committed atrocities. CF is not the place for broad brush or blanket statements about groups and political parties. Put the broad brushes and blankets away when you come to CF, better yet, put them in the incinerator. Debate had no place for them. We need to remember that people that commit acts of violence represent themselves or a small extreme faction.

Design on animals?

Hello guys. Is it hard for me to understand which evolutionary purpose has some drawings made on animals, beautiful and symmetric drawings they have on their skin, scales or feathers and I think that would be quite impossible that they arrived there by chance because they clearly follow a pattern. Let me give an example:

205351pyrrhocoris%20apterus.jpg


We all have seen this tiny bug somewhere, did we? I was watching the other day at their design, the beautiful drawing they have on their back that looks like a Tiki or Kabuki mask, what is the evolutionary explanation for that?

So predators won't eat them? Yes, but why that much precision on the drawing? It clearly follows a pattern that Someone has drawed over them in a precise manner.

Evolution isn't chance.

Why wouldn't they eat them?

Actually, this particular question came to me after we studied in class biological symmetry, so I know about it. Those articles explains what biological symmetry is but i'm not asking that, but how in a blind evolutionary process living things could get such a precision in everything they have, including that symmetrical design?

No, I am not talking about a weird attack of pareidolia I just got. There is symmetry in living things, I am talking about the Fibonacci numbers present in nature. I have read the explanations given by Alan Turing about this but it is not quite clear, we have an animal there with a huge complex and symmetric design on it, why does that design follow and order on a simple beast from there? And why are we the only ones spotting design?

What is your criteria for "design"? Can you provide an an example of something that does not meet that criteria?

If only someone would start a thread on this so we all could have a workable definition of design. Oh well.

The question should be asked is: how did this bug look like before it evolved into the present species.

I bet none of the world biologist can give you any answer. That explains how shallow the theory of evolution is.

You can ridicule me but that will not answer my question.

That's SOP here.

Have you ever studied Biomimicry?

I have a thread on it here:
My wife and I picked up a book on Biomimicry at the creation museum just recently.

It is a fascinating read, and a testament to God in nature.

Here's just one example of how it works from answers.com:

Biomimicry said:
Imitating nature in man-made systems. One of the most notable examples is the Eastgate Center in Harare, Zimbabwe, a shopping center built in 1996 that was constructed using principles discovered in termite mounds in the desert. The termites maintain an almost perfectly uniform temperature for their food inside, even though outside temperatures range from near freezing at night to over 100 degrees (Fahrenheit) in the day. The even temperature is accomplished by continuously opening and closing a series of vents throughout the day. The Eastgate Center uses 10% of the energy of a traditional building to keep cool.

As God said:

Pr 6:6 ¶ Go to the ant, thou sluggard; consider her ways, and be wise:

Pr 30:24 ¶ There be four things which are little upon the earth, but they are exceeding wise:
25 The ants are a people not strong, yet they prepare their meat in the summer;
26 The conies are but a feeble folk, yet make they their houses in the rocks;
27 The locusts have no king, yet go they forth all of them by bands;
28 The spider taketh hold with her hands, and is in kings' palaces.


We need to thank God for our scientists who discover these things in nature; making our lives better.

Pr 25:2 ¶ It is the glory of God to conceal a thing: but the honour of kings is to search out a matter.

Notice here how the Bible equates [true] scientists with kings?

I think we have a wonderful God, which He seems to be a painter artist too :p

AV, I have never heard of it, really :p Although, I don't know what SOP means haha
