[QUOTE="Speedwell, post: 72836049, member: 387171"] If you want to talk about design—and I assume you mean “design” as a descriptor of a functional arrangement of components, rather than “design” as purpose or intention—consider this: Design is based on the processing of information. Then consider the biosphere, an unfathomably complex system of interacting stochastic processes, and you see sufficient information processing capacity to produce the functional arrangement of parts, the “design” that even Dawkins says is there. Human industry is just beginning to use genetic algorithms to design new products, but the power of the process is apparent to all. Creationists have tried to identify living systems which in principle could not have been designed by such stochastic algorithms. So far they have failed. I predict they will continue to fail, because I believe that divine tinkering with this process on a material level is unnecessary, thanks to the omniscience of its creator. [/QUOTE]
