No need for intelligent design for that. Eye evolution is rather well understood. Why do you think you need to invoke an "intelligence"?

Why do you think you need to invoke an "intelligence"?Intelligent design can be used in the context of both the origin of life and ongoing evolution. Wikipedia, for example, mentions natural selection. A common example of intelligent design in operation is the complex features of the human eye.

Death is inevitable. Anyone claiming otherwise is selling you something.This is pure ignorance.
There is no other book or books equivalent to the 66 books of "The Bible"
I see sadly from the ongoing blogging in this thread that many simply choose death
over life.
It is true what Jesus said faith and belief are of the heart (the inner person).
66-81, depending on the denomination.This is pure ignorance.

That's not how belief works. I 100% fear death; I have an existential crisis almost daily thanks to my immense fear of death, and I hate the fact that I don't believe in life after death, because even if I was wrong and there wasn't one, I could at least move on with my life and stop bogging it up with thoughts of death. You are incredibly wrong if you think I would choose death over life.I see sadly from the ongoing blogging in this thread that many simply choose death

Alright ... point taken ... anything else?Yes... sounds familiar... where have I seen this before? Oh yeah,
"On the Origin of Species by Means of Natural Selection, or the Preservation of
Favoured Races in the Struggle for Life."
Yep, you're king of cheap shots.
It's very seldom I hear Baptists referred to as cultists; but to each his own, I guess.I’m aware that it’s standard doctrine.

I've been saying that here for years.No. There is no way to harmonize the creation account with science. Period.
Yes, there are.jesus316 said:There is no firmament.
Not to mention quoting from one part of the encyclopedia (or dictionary) to support another.Then how come Darwinists quoting the writings of other Darwinists as truth is OK?
Amen, brother.I dedicate my current ministry to my dad who I hope to see in the new heavens and new earth.
Okay.Intelligent design can be used in the context of both the origin of life and ongoing evolution. Wikipedia, for example, mentions natural selection. A common example of intelligent design in operation is the complex features of the human eye.
My religion teaches that He wrote it that way because we, as mere humans, would not understand how it really happened. Here we are, thousands of years later, and we are just scratching the surface of how the universe began.Really. Then why did God write it this way?
I don't claim we need to, probably the full jist of my comments are getting tangled up in this thread.No need for intelligent design for that. Eye evolution is rather well understood. Why do you think you need to invoke an "intelligence"?
Yes, I agree.The evolution of the eye is well understood. No need to act like it's a mystery.
Some say the only difference between cults and religions is the number of followers. Just think about itIt's very seldom I hear Baptists referred to as cultists; but to each his own, I guess.
I only very rarely quote other people in general, and when I do, 95% of the time it is taking quotes from a source brought up by a creationist.Then how come Darwinists quoting the writings of other Darwinists as truth is OK?

I do have a nagging doubt. I've studied enough about evolution at the cellular level to be aware of the enormous number of chemical biological interactions and the vast number of errors in the functions; these capable of generating new genetic information. Even so, I'm uncomfortable that the needed probabilities are even remotely sufficient.
If there were a way these random probabilities could be nudged a little bit, that might make all the difference...
I think the only possibility where this could occur is quantum mechanics randomness. If there were an intelligent designer awaiting for a favorable situation to develop, he could monkey with the probability so that an electron appeared in just the right place to influence a chemical reaction, sending it down a path having profound consequences. Ditto for the timing and direction of a burst of radiation triggered by the weak force.
There is a first death, and a second death.Death is inevitable.
Yes, I agree.

So you say. Why should I be afraid of something I don’t believe in? Whose job is it to convince us?There is a first death, and a second death.
It is the second death that unbelievers of the truth need be fearful of.
