You wouldn't believe how real. Trust me, my experience was real.
I find it rather informative that the only input from you is either making general hobby psycho-babble, mocking, or cheer leading for materialists. You are consistent.

Exactly, there is no evidence that contradicts design, it is only due to his anti-design biases that he puts forth the illusion argument. We inductively know that what we are seeing is design, data confirms it and illusion fails unless someone can give evidence that proves illusion rather than actual design.

It does, you can't show it was an illusion and or delusion.
Actually, you can't show it was illusion/delusion which is the problem when you have a materialistic worldview that says evolution explains it but doesn't provide any evidence to show it is an illusion.

It is a yes or no question. Yes: you can show that it is actual, intended design, or no, it remains an illusion, your protestations notwithstanding.

Can you show that it is actual, intended design? Yes or no?
Again, and I know that you would like to ignore the fact that the claim lies with Dawkins, but design is the evidence and anyone (Dawkins specifically) must show why that evidence is as it is but that it is an illusion.

What design? Where? If I do not fall for this illusion, is the appearance of design not there?
You can take the road of denial but design in nature is apparent to materialist and theist alike.

Yours is a god-of-the-gaps type of god? If science can't explain it, goddidit.

Why do you not just say so?
Say you have no evidence then or concede. Saying you don't know is fine but don't continue to claim that the design in nature that all agree upon is an illusion if you can't show it is.

Is that an accusation of lying? Can you read minds?

My position needs no evidence. My position is that you cannot show actual, intended design.

Your next post without evidence of actual, intended design, will be accepted as abdication.

It is your/his burden Davian. HIS BURDEN for HIS POSITIVE CLAIM. He must provide evidence that show the design is an illusion. The design is there, everyone admits it is there and it is up to him to show it is an illusion if you all want people to believe that it is an illusion. This isn't rocket science.

Lying? What in the world are you saying?

I know you think you never have a burden of proof for your position. That isn't the way it should be even if you all think it is.
