Stu, Your responses to me are getting more and more incoherent. I suspect you are suffering from Darwinian dissonance. I suggest you read the next post.

Stu wrote: Do you deny that Darwinists use dysteleology arguments against design? Why are these arguments being invoked if it's not to prove that there is no evidence of purpose in nature?

Stu wrote: Most Darwinian scientists think the evolutionary process is devoid of purpose. Here is a sample. Douglas Futuyma in his book Evolutionary Biology says: Monroe W. Strickberger, of the University of Missouri-St. Louis, notes in his widely-used textbook Evolution: The book...

Stu wrote: Nonsense. Darwinian evolution is by definition a purposeless process. Cite any leading Darwinst that disputes this. Stu wrote: I didn't say a mud puddle couldn't be designed. I said there is no good reason to think a mud puddle is designed. Stu wrote: Not one word of this...

Busting Another Darwinist Myth: Skeptics of Evolution Do Exist Outside the United States! by Casey Luskin A common Darwinist myth is that the only people who are skeptical of evolution are Americans. A recent article in the Virginia Informer stated, “John Swaddler, UK native and...

How misinformation about intelligent design is spread to students and recycled to other anti-ID academics (Part II) by Casey Luskin In Part I of this short response, I explained some false information about intelligent design promoted by George Kampis at East Tennessee State University...

How misinformation about intelligent design is spread to students and recycled to other anti-ID academics (Part I) by Casey Luskin Access Research Network has noted a Darwinist's lecture at East Tennessee State University entitled "Intelligent Design Theory and the Poverty of...

'There are strong indications of intelligent design' Interview by Nick Jackson Stuart Burgess is Professor of design and nature in the department of mechanical engineering at Bristol University. He argues that intelligent design is as valid a scientific concept as evolution. Current...

Iowa State University Denies Tenure to Noted Scientist Who Supports Intelligent Design by John West Iowa State University has denied tenure to astronomer Guillermo Gonzalez, co-author of The Privileged Planet, which presents powerful scientific evidence for the intelligent design of the...

Scientists who support intelligent design by Anika Smith One of the more frequent questions people ask about intelligent design is whether any scientists actually support ID theory. There are many notable biologists, biochemists, physicists, and astronomers who support intelligent design...

Paul Davies, in his book The Fifth Miracle says: Stu and TraderNik don't see the difference between inferring an "elaborate factory production line" is designed and inferring a mud puddle is designed.

The vertebrate eye does not have a compromised design by David Tyler Glial cells have been known to neuroscientists for over a century and they perform numerous essential functions. Now we can add another. In the vertebrate eye, there are "radial glial cells spanning the entire retinal...

Stu wrote: Tell that to your buddy Richard Dawkins. He says: He also says: Bruce Alberts, former president of the National Academy of Sciences, once proposed that biologists should think more like engineers and in an article entitled, The Cell as a Collection of Protein Machines, he...

Dysteleology arguments assume what they are trying to disprove. Nobody would make these kinds of "poor design" arguments about a mud puddle since it doesn't seem designed in the first place. Something has to have been made for a purpose before it makes any sense to look at it and declare that...
