you simply chant that it is a cop-out and that you can't see a reason why, which constitutes no specific counter-arguments at all.
Such mindless convenient inability to see, and I disagree, non-responses are provided when the person doesn't understand what is involved. If indeed you understood I challenge you to explain each reason that I provided to demonstrate that you do understood.
That is totally irrelevant to the discussion of an ID.
Why you insist on injecting it into the discussion as an essential can only be explained in one way.
Response to post 1146
That is where I responded but it wound up here.
2. Religion is totally irrelevant to the discussion of an ID.

His abilities doesn't change the judgments to execute an action based on his analyses of future consequences? Why doesn't it change it?
You provide NOTHING. Just statements with no reasons which render all my explanations that you demanded a total waste of my time.
That is absolutely, demonstrably, verifiably incorrect.
Religion has EVERYTHING to do with ID.
It's religious groups and institutions that came up with for religious reasons.
Look up the Discovery Institute and read their mission statement.
Look up the Wedge Document.
Look up where the term "cdesign proponentsists" originates from.
Look up the Dover trial.
ID is absolutely, demonstrably, a religious idea.
At best, it is only disguised in a lab coat. One only has to look up who the proponents behind those ideas are, where they come from, where they are published, what their motivations are. It's religion, religion, religion. All the way.
For the same reason that I would consider it immoral to step into a time machine and kill Adolf Hitler as a child.
I guess we disagree on what "good reasons" are.
But as per your request, let's get back to topic.
SIGH!
I said that from my viewpoint religion is totally irrelevant to MY discussion about the ID.
What others did, are doing, or will do is irrelevant.
About Hitler? Yes, I would have done anything within my power to prevent him from becoming the monster he became.
If the only way was to remove him from history, then I would have done so
Example: During WWII this girl had been taught that it was evil to tell lies. There were Jews hiding in her parent's basement when the SS appeared at their door. When asked if there were Jews hiding anywhere in the house everyone denied it. But since she considered it wrong to lie she told them the truth. She and her whole family perished in a concentration camp.
That is why inflexible rule-thinking it is considered flawed thinking if adhered to in the way you are doing.
That's ethics 101.
Yes that's correct. Because it remains a moth. It doesn't become anything else but a moth.So, if a moth species can change its characteristics, it's genetic make-up, to such an extent that a new moth species can form, please explain how that process cannot continue indefinitely......
You are the person who says....'yes, I know you can step onto one rung of a ladder, but it's impossible you could climb its length!'
Yes that's correct. Because it remains a moth. It doesn't become anything else but a moth.
And you evidence of a murder analogy is good as a description of evolitionists though not perfect.
Evolutionists don't have a dead body. They assume there is a dead body and so then look at the evidence and find that it shows there was a murder without a body. That's how it works. They can't believe in intelligent design with an intelligent designer so the only thing,left is evolution. Can't falsify the designer they say. Well you,can't really falsify common,ancestor either because you can't prove there ever was one. It exists in the evolutionist mind because they believe there was one.
Here's another example as to why: My great-grandparents were German. How many generations of my offspring must be born and pass away before my great-grandparents stop being German?Yes that's correct. Because it remains a moth. It doesn't become anything else but a moth.
If you want the existence of a designer to be a falsifiable proposition, it's up to you to make it so. What kind of evidence, if discovered, would rule out the existence of a designer?Evolutionists don't have a dead body.

That's irrelevant because your grandparents are human. Just like a moth is still a moth no,matter how long a time passes.Here's another example as to why: My great-grandparents were German.

God can't be falsified,and neither can the common ancestor.
You're incorrect. Creationist to,recognize that things can change in a creature. That's one of the things designed into,living things. The ability to try and adapt in order to remain alive. God created life and it's one of the evidences of a designer. That life continues adapts in order to survive. But it does not change into something else entirely. Like slowly morph from a bird to a lizard or vice versa.But it has changed to a new species.....something that you people claim is impossible!
Wrong. Again.
The 'dead body' in that analogy is the variety of living things. It is the identical ERV insertions which you cannot explain. It is the nested hierarchy. It is the observed examples of speciation. It is the growing collection of transitional fossils.
But, of course, you have to pretend that there is no 'body', don't you....?

The similarities between chimps,and humans and the ERVs are still assumed to show common ancestor. I've said this over and over. The differences between the too are far greater than the similarities. It just goes to show that ERVs really prove nothing. Show me a chimp who,can build a rocket or create a vaccine or design and build a deck.
It's all such nonsense. Believe what you will. It matters not.

You keep saying that it's assumed, but that is ALL YOU DO. You just repeating your claim over and over again without showing any evidence to back it up does not make it true.
Most others here don't either.
Google-genetically we did not come from apes and you will find about 12,200,000 results.
Final proof we did not originate from apes!
A new report in the Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences suggests that the common value of >98% similarity of DNA between chimp and humans is incorrect.2 Roy Britten, author of the study, puts the figure at about 95% when insertions and deletions are included. Importantly, there is much more to these studies than people realize.
The >98.5% similarity has been misleading because it depends on what is being compared. There are a number of significant differences. A review by Gagneux and Varki4 described a list of genetic differences between humans and the great apes. The differences include ‘cytogenetic differences, differences in the type and number of repetitive genomic DNA and transposable elements, abundance and distribution of endogenous retroviruses, the presence and extent of allelic polymorphisms, specific gene inactivation events, gene sequence differences, gene duplications, single nucleotide polymorphisms, gene expression differences, and messenger RNA splicing variations.’4
Specific examples of these differences include:
1. Humans have 23 pairs of chromosomes while chimpanzees have 24. Evolutionary scientists believe that one of the human chromosomes has been formed through the fusion of two small chromosomes in the chimp instead of an intrinsic difference resulting from a separate creation.
2. At the end of each chromosome is a string of repeating DNA sequences called a telomere. Chimpanzees and other apes have about 23 kilobases (a kilobase is 1,000 base pairs of DNA) of repeats. Humans are unique among primates with much shorter telomeres only 10 kilobases long.7
3. While 18 pairs of chromosomes are ‘virtually identical’, chromosomes 4, 9 and 12 show evidence of being ‘remodeled.’5 In other words, the genes and markers on these chromosomes are not in the same order in the human and chimpanzee. Instead of ‘being remodeled’ as the evolutionists suggest, these could, logically, also be intrinsic differences because of a separate creation.
4. The Y chromosome in particular is of a different size and has many markers that do not line up between the human and chimpanzee.1
5. Scientists have prepared a human-chimpanzee comparative clone map of chromosome 21 in particular. They observed ‘large, non-random regions of difference between the two genomes.’ They found a number of regions that ‘might correspond to insertions that are specific to the human lineage.’3
These types of differences are not generally included in calculations of percent DNA similarity.
In one of the most extensive studies comparing human and chimp DNA,3 the researchers compared >19.8 million bases. While this sounds like a lot, it still represents slightly less than 1% of the genome. They calculated a mean identity of 98.77% or 1.23% differences. However, this, like other studies only considered substitutions and did not take insertions or deletions into account as the new study by Britten did. A nucleotide substitution is a mutation where one base (A, G, C, or T) is replaced with another. An insertion or deletion (indel) is found where there are nucleotides missing when two sequences are compared.": https://forum.davidicke.com/showthread.php?t=152540 Have a blessed day.
