You misunderstood me as usual.No you're not. You wouldn't accept design by purely natural unintelligent processes, for example.

So clear it up : are you OK with the designer being unintelligent purely natural processes?You misunderstood me as usual.

No I am not OK with that viewpoint.
As I clearly pointed out before-to us nature indicates a mind at work and not just mindless chemicals reacting with each other and eventually producing brains. Also, as I explained before-I consider the natural processes themselves as having been designed and set into motion by an intelligent designer.
He is all over the place.But you just said you weren't arguing for any particular type of designer. Now you seem to be saying the opposite. Which one of your claims are we supposed to believe?
OK, so you're hoping for a supernatural non-material intelligence who pre-exists the known universe. Why not just come clean and say that? What's with all the hiding what you are actually talking about?
You are equating the designer with what was designed in order to support your claim that it designed itself. The designed is NOT the designer. It merely displays evidence of having been designed. Their is no central area of within this process that can be identified as mind. DNA is info, it is NOT a mind. It is evidence of a programing mind. But it itself is just info.But you just said you weren't arguing for any particular type of designer. Now you seem to be saying the opposite. Which one of your claims are we supposed to believe?

Not at all bon ami. It just seems that way because you are felicitously and happily hippity hopping galore all over the place.He is all over the place.
Because that's what atheists do?
In fact, they insist on bringing God into the subject despite my efforts to keep the supernatural out of it. They even call me a hypocrite or liar when I attempt it.
No I am not OK with that viewpoint.

Nope! That is your idea not mine. I clearly keep telling you that the designer need not be supernatural. For example, it can be imagined as from another dimension, or an alternate universe or even from one of the infinite universes which your scientists are fond of hypothesizing about in order to avoid our realm's fine tuning. Such a designer would not be itself part of our natural laws as applicable to our dimension or our cosmos but could be their source instead..But you just said you weren't arguing for any particular type of designer.

Then you reject theistic evolution which has unintelligent purely natural causes producing the biodiversity we see today.
No, you don't. That would make the processes unintelligent, which you reject.
Horse before the cart!You are the one who brings God into the subject when you state that atheists refuse to accept ID because it brings God into the picture.
Nice self description as your constant negation of reality demonstrates.Some people are in tune with reality, some aren't.
You are equating the designer with what was designed in order to support your claim that it designed itself.
If you wish to talk God why not take it to the theological areas?

When you have to resort to making stuff up like this I know I've hit a nerve. Can you try to respond to what I actually wrote?
You're the one saying you can't accept a natural designer. And you're the one proposing the solution is a warmed-over version of modernist conservative Protestant religious belief.
If you have no idea what laws do or don't govern whatever this alleged designer how can you possibly pretend to know that it would even be capable of designing our universe?
And lets get real. If you've got to make up an imaginary place where our natural laws don't apply for your designer to hide in, that's about as close to supernatural as you can get without just admitting you really want the ID to be your god. Why all the games? What's so hard about just coming clean about what you really believe?
