Ten arguments for intelligent design

[rockytopva]

The specifics of creation....

1. The human brain contains 100 billion brain cells
2. The mysteries of warmth (E) and radiation (c2) in mass, the mind, and the heart.
3. The mysteries of organic chemistry and its workings in animals.
4. The brain has top priority for blood, just like RAM memory needs electricity in a computer.
5. The blood needs to be cleansed by organs like the liver and kidneys so glucose and oxygen can keep the brain going. Loose the liver and kidneys and you will get very sick real fast.
6. The eyes need to stay clear. Tears need to secrete via the lacrimal gland a clear lubricating chemistry to the eye. The eye needs the desired image to arrive at the correct place so the retina can process the image in full color to the brain.
7. The body needs to regulate the correct levels of glucose and oxygen at the correct temperature. Too much or too little sugar can quickly destroy the human organs causing all kinds of problems, including blindness. The pancreas has two main functions: an exocrine function that helps in digestion and an endocrine function that regulates blood sugar.
8. The body needs a male sperm to connect with a female egg to reform the human in a womb and put all these complexities together again.
9. Putting everything together and the human body contains about 40 trillion living cells, all with some kind of function to contribute to a healthy human body.
10. All these cells need the correct chemistry from planet earth to stay alive.

All of which came together by intelligent design.

Even a cursory study of anatomy reveals incredible design, even without belts, gears, and pulleys.

The brain has comparable storage to a 100 gigabyte hard drive. Today's hard drives are in measured in terabytes. A terabyte is 10 times the 100 gigabyte. If the human brain acts more like RAM memory, most computers contain about 10 gigabytes RAM, or a tenth of the brains compatible storage.

I would say, then, that the brain is comparable to the modern computer and behaves more like RAM memory than the hard drive. The RAM memory needs electricity for it to stay alive, and the human brain needs its "electricity" (from glucose and oxygen) for it to stay alive. The RAM memory looses its mind very quick without electricity, the brain will stay a live a little longer, but not by much.

9. Putting everything together and the human body contains about 40 trillion living cells, all with some kind of function to contribute to a healthy human body.
10. All these cells need the correct chemistry from planet earth to stay alive.

Don't forget, all the cells themselves are really complex.

Ten arguments from incredulity against the theory of evolution, but no arguments at all actually for Intelligent Design.

 

[rockytopva]

The body needs a clean blood supply with the correct sugar levels to keep 40 trillion cells alive. Which caused God to declare in the very long ago (1300 BC) and to an ancient people, "For the life of the flesh is in the blood" - Leviticus 17

And...

For the life of the flesh is in the blood: and I have given it to you upon the altar to make an atonement for your souls: for it is the blood that maketh an atonement for the soul. - Leviticus 17:11

Which causes we Christians to cry...

Thanks be unto God for his unspeakable gift. - 2 Corinthians 9:15

Thank God for Jesus

The specifics of creation....

1. The human brain contains 100 billion brain cells
2. 2 million brain cells die every minute
3. 14 billion synapses, the vital intersections between neurons Die every minute
4. The brain has top priority for blood, just like RAM memory needs electricity in a computer.
5. The blood needs to be cleansed by organs like the liver and kidneys so glucose and oxygen can keep the brain going. Loose the liver and kidneys and you will get very sick real fast.

These aren’t arguments. They’re ten facts with an assertion at the end.

If it quacks like a duck...it was probably designed.

 

[Yttrium]

I have nothing against intelligent design.

However, it sure looks to me like any intelligent designer out there sure used a lot of evolution to cook things up.

Where are the 10 arguments?

I see a bunch of descriptive items followed by an assertion, but I don't see an argument anywhere in the above post.

So... What instigated this thread?

I have just returned from vacation where I spent time at Dollywood's Splash Country and then drove south to a Camp meeting there in Georgia. The first day in Gatlinburg went good. The next day caused a severe dry eye and skin rash. I am a Lab Technician who has worked with all kinds of chemistry, worked with all kinds of calculations, plated with all kinds of elements, and have treated waste water with all kinds of chemicals. I have broken the CN bond with chlorine so it makes CO2 and NO2 and makes the waters acceptable to the environment.

So... What irritated my skin and eyes? I have a Jacuzzi that I maintain with bromine and have never experienced rash because of it. In research the problem must have been the reactions of urea (pee) and chlorine. The lazy river there was very crowded during Fourth of July week and I can imagine the urea (CO(NH2)2) and Chlorine (Cl) reacting to form....

Cyanogen Chloride (CNCl) is a highly toxic blood agent that causes immediate injury upon contact with the eyes or respiratory organs.
Trichloramine (NCl) is a toxic, explosive, nasty-smelling oily liquid

And bacteria that the Cl has not yet reacted with. Not to mention other compounds the Cl may have formed. Just by staying out of the public pools have caused my skin to totally heal up. After this ordeal I am now very skeptical of the chemistry that may be in public pools.

Why the use of Nitrogen? It appears that Nitrogen helps the process of photosynthesis along. I have read that more than 90% of world industrial production of urea is destined for use as a nitrogen-release fertilizer. Urea has the highest nitrogen content of all solid nitrogenous fertilizers in common use. Therefore, it has the lowest transportation costs per unit of nitrogen nutrient. To make homemade fertilizer just mix urine into a compost pile and you will be good to go.

After researching my diaper rash I had to delve into the mysteries and workings of Nitrogen, Carbon, Oxygen, Chlorine, and Hydrogen... Their reactions on this planet, and how the body deals with them. This tread came as a result of these studies... All because of what was probably kids peeing in the pool!

 

[rockytopva]

Also to note, while on vacation, was on how unhealthy so many people looked. This also has caused me to look into the overall health of cells and how the organs such as the kidneys cleanse the blood to make the overall body healthy. I have also read an article on what foods to avoid for the good of the kidneys and liver....

1. Red meats
2. Alcohol
3. Sodium
4. Caffeine
5. Sodas and energy drinks
6. Artificial Sweeteners
7. Dairy
8. Non-organic foods
9. Acetaminophen - Tylenol and other drugs can have toxic effects!

My thoughts after reading this article were... What's left? There are a lot of things out there toxic to the human body!

And this has to do with Intelligent Design how exactly?

And this has to do with Intelligent Design how exactly?

The realities of the effects of biology and chemistry are too great for anything otherwise. Just in the human eye there are millions of things that occur that suggest intelligent design.

 

[Speedwell]

The realities of the effects of biology and chemistry are too great for anything otherwise. Just in the human eye there are millions of things that occur that suggest intelligent design.

Or that could be carried out by the immense information-processing capacity of the interacting stochastic processes which make up the biosphere.

Which would say then that the biosphere has intelligence.

Just an argument from incredulity then? Okay.

 

[Speedwell]

Which would say then that the biosphere has intelligence.

No, just information processing capacity. There is no evidence of a collective sentience.

 

[Ophiolite]

Define intelligence.
