Functional systems are always designed in our observable world.They are presented as functional systems, not "designed" systems.
The Bible is right in how it describes how things were created or evolution from a common ancestor is right on how things came to be. It's always a battle of faith in science or faith in God supported by science.
Odd use of the third person, never explained, but important in a written language without quotation marks. Maybe you're right, but it's certainly not a slam-dunk.You know that's not true. Why do you say such things?
Then God spoke all these words:I am the Lord your God who brought you out of Egypt, out of the house of slavery.You must have no other gods before me.Do not make an idol for yourself—no form whatsoever—of anything in the sky above or on the earth below or in the waters under the earth.Do not bow down to them or worship them, because I, the Lord your God, am a passionate God. I punish children for their parents’ sins even to the third and fourth generations of those who hate me.But I am loyal and gracious to the thousandth generation of those who love me and keep my commandments.Do not use the Lord your God’s name as if it were of no significance; the Lord won’t forgive anyone who uses his name that way.Remember the Sabbath day and treat it as holy.Six days you may work and do all your tasks, - Exodus 20:1-9 Bible Gateway passage: Exodus 20:1-9 - Common English Bible
Then God said all these words:א “I am Adonai your God, who brought you out of the land of Egypt, out of the abode of slavery.ב “You are to have no other gods before me.You are not to make for yourselves a carved image or any kind of representation of anything in heaven above, on the earth beneath or in the water below the shoreline.You are not to bow down to them or serve them; for I, Adonai your God, am a jealous God, punishing the children for the sins of the parents to the third and fourth generation of those who hate me,but displaying grace to the thousandth generation of those who love me and obey my mitzvot.ג “You are not to use lightly the name of Adonai your God, because Adonai will not leave unpunished someone who uses his name lightly.ד “Remember the day, Shabbat, to set it apart for God.You have six days to labor and do all your work,but the seventh day is a Shabbat for Adonai your God. On it, you are not to do any kind of work — not you, your son or your daughter, not your male or female slave, not your livestock, and not the foreigner staying with you inside the gates to your property.For in six days, Adonai made heaven and earth, the sea and everything in them; but on the seventh day he rested. This is why Adonai blessed the day, Shabbat, and separated it for himself. - Exodus 20:1-11 Bible Gateway passage: Exodus 20:1-11 - Complete Jewish Bible
A heartbeat.
God designed the mountains to do what they do. He designed and created the process for them to be formed to do what they do. It's not that difficult to understand.
You interpret what you see. The nested heirarchies are assumptions based upon and interpretation.
There is no observable testable verifiable evidence that it ever occurred the way evolutionists say
They see community, similarity and assume it means we all evolved from the same thing.
Like I said and I have ALWAYS said that things do adapt. Bears might have existed and then adapted to fit the climate or area where they live. But bears were always bears from the start. They we're never ever an original ancestor that crawled out of the sea or whatever.
And there you have it. Science is God.
Science is right regardless of what God says.
The presenter of this video strongly suggests that DNA was designed, based on how it functions.
What I get from you guys is that evolution deliberately disguised it's designs so that it could proceed without revealing a designer. Pretty crafty.
How long did it take for the genome to evolve, or was it already in the first cell ready to go to work?
Every presentation like this one reinforces creation, not evolution.
How can a rational person ascribe the complexity of the genome to "descent with modification"?
So you don't understand that illustration? Let me help.
We are made of atoms.
We are made of molecules.
We are made of cells.
What is so difficult about that?
Then show me the scientists that concluded design without an apriori religious belief. I've asked this three times now.As I said I look at complex, specialized organisms and conclude that they were designed. No religion required. Further, it is science that reveals just how complex and unique things are, thus removing them further from the possibility that they evolved from a common ancestor.
Actually, a tissue is a group of similar or dissimilar cells performing a common function which have a common origin.So you are a product of molecules, not Jesus.
Got it.
Look.... Definitions and concepts actually mean things - maybe not in the phony baloney world of economics, but in science, definitions have specific meanings.
Any biology student will tell you that a tissue is a collection of cells of similar shape and function, because that is the definition of tissues.
NOBODY says 'tissues are specialized molecules' because that is stupid.
I get that you are trying to save face, but a much better way to save face is to NOT pontificate on matters that you have admitted ignorance in.
Isn't that the rational thing to do? Some stable genius with a 130 IQ should do?
Are you familiar with the Dunning-Kruger effect?
Actually, a tissue is a group of similar or dissimilar cells performing a common function which have a common origin.
The similar in appearance part is actually wrong because (for example) the xylem is a complex permanent tissue. It has 4 components (in angiosperms): tracheids, vessels, xylem parenchyma and xylem fibres. None of these resemble each other.
Do you not know what a genome is?again: its true for a genome too since all genomes we know of are the product of design.
Most tissues do look alike, I guess.Fair enough, but in a general sense, they do look alike.
Regardless, those cells are not referred to by any biologist as molecules.
So you are a product of molecules, not Jesus.

I have very little interest in a response from you if it's not an answer to the question I've asked.Once scientists have drunk the evolution cool aid "design" is permanently removed from their lexicon.
