Re: Intelligent Design - 02-19-2007, 12:15 AM

I have no problem with evolution as in change over time. There is a process to everything. However when it is said by Darwinist that life has just evolved by natural means and is an undirected process I must disagree. Life evolving by natural means is a directed process. If it were not directed then there would be no process. God is intimately a part of the universe and thus when he does things it is very natural. When God does things that we don’t understand we call them miracles but when we do understand them it appears to be natural. As you become acquainted with him the supernatural becomes natural. How can they reduce the value of natural process by saying that it is “just natural processes” when the origin of them is completely unknown? For me the main thing that distinguishes the theory of intelligent design from the Darwinist theory of evolution is intelligence.

If all of the proteins and chemicals were in the right place for the cell to become alive; then why would nonliving matter start working as ONE for the survival of the cell as a whole? However if its own selfish desire for survival was its primary goal then why would it even care about reproduction unless its goal was for survival of life as a whole (ONE)?
Let’s say a cell “naturally” evolved. All cells have DNA to tell it how to reproduce, grow, and to perform all the necessary functions for life. How did this first cell know what to do without this intelligence? Because without this intelligence it could not live! And if you think it had DNA of some kind then where did this coded information come from?

How does a tree know that there is gravity to pull its seeds down to the fertile soil for reproduction?
How does a dandelion know that there is wind to carry its seeds?
How does a fruit tree know that there are animals and insects in the world to eat the fruit and spread its seeds? Perhaps there is a bigger picture here. Fruit trees were not made just for their own survival but for the survival of life as a whole.
