I am claiming that living forms appear to be designed with intentional purpose as specifically admitted by all biologists I am aware of. This evidence of design with purpose is either correct and accurate or is present only due to evolutionary processes that create an illusion of design. If it is indeed only an illusion of actual design it is incumbent on those who claim it is to provide the evidence that shows it is an illusion.
What is the insult? Dawkins is an avid and outspoken anti-theist which in Christian theology is anti-Christ attitude. Do you take offense to characterizing Dawkins as such?
"Dawkins is such a despicable anti-theist and anitChrist he makes these claims that the gullible will embrace, never realizing until it's too late that his claim of illusion of design had absolutely no evidence to back it up. But, since it's an anti-theist rant, the blind will follow the blind."
Design has recognizable features which are present in design produced by intelligent agents.
That goes without saying. Do you have the training and education equal to or better than the biologists that claim design is apparent in living forms?
Yes, and no one feels it appears like an actual face. You are using a category error in your analogy.
What was I to look for in that video?
Yet all you can offer is what you perceive. No testable, falsifiable criteria.
All of the biologists that you have cited to date have only admitted to the perception of "design". It "looks" that way.
But you cannot offer a means of falsification. You are not doing science.
Despicable is an adjective that some feel represents Dawkins. I find his remarks about Christians and religion despicable as well. Christians are told they are gullible all the time so I don't think you can cry foul there. Blind will follow the blind is a similar accusation encountered by Christians here all the time.
The objective evidence is the design present in all living forms.
I do not personally take offence, but I am only making an observation that he seems to be reduced to attacking the person, and those that accept the science that he is doing, rather than addressing said science.
Scientific research and methodology? Do you not recognize that.
I am offering what biologists observe in life forms.
No, not perception of design...illusion of design. They observe living forms appear to be designed for a purpose meaning they look like they are designed with a purpose. It is either accurate or an illusion and they are claiming illusion.
Neither are you but the scientists are and they observe design in living things and are claiming that the design is an illusion of design. No scientific evidence is given for that conclusion.
Let your conscience be your guide. Jiminy Cricket, and all that.
