No such thing as an educated creationist who has thought it through.

Then you need to be very specific about what you determine to be a natural process (instigated by God) and one that can be classed as creation. Tell me exactly what you mean so there's no confusion.
I already did. It's all created.
It's just more obvious to US that some have to have been designed.
What is hard to understand about that?

it's real easy to understand and recognize a baseless opinion.

And it's easy to recognize the person who has nothing but insults.
I think you are afraid God might be real.
It's a terrifying idea to lots of people. It means they don't control everything.

None of this tells us what you consider to be a natural event versus a creation event. Apart from 'gee, this is complicated and I can't see how it could happen naturally'.

You imply that 'joints' have been created as well as eyes. Maybe you could give us an example of what you consider to be entirely natural? Which would not exlude God in any way.

There is nothing that exists that doesn't have God's fingerprints on it.
Some are just more obvious to us.

You're still not explaining the difference between a designed object and - what else can I call it - a naturally occuring one. Apart from the 'gee, it certainly looks designed'.

Can you give me an example of some aspect of a living organism that hasn't been designed? There must be a lot because only 'some have to have been designed'.

Nobody is arguing that. I just want you to.differentiate between the natural and designed. As I asked earlier, give me an example of a natural aspect of a living.organism.

Well, I enjoy kicking cans down the road as much as anyone else. But it doesn't get us any closer to an answer.

No telling what a creationist might think.
Now show some class, cease the made- up personal remarks.

How is that kicking the can? All of evolutionary theory is
just can - kicking?
