Quote from NickelScalper:
Do you consider yourself in a position to criticize the competence of a product's design without first obtaining a comprehension of the intent of the designer?
Quote from kjkent1:
Your theology is not important to me. Evidently, having others know it is not important to you.
As for your statement that you are not a Christian, this may be a fact, but I have no means of verifying it from here, so as far as I'm concerned, it's just another opinion.
This is similar to your dissatisfaction with evolutionary proof. What satisfies as proof for you is different than what satisfies as proof for me.

I don't reject all things spiritual. But this thread is supposed to be about putting forth scientific evidence of intelligent design, and it has already degenerated into a bunch of unsupported opinions.
Quote from ZZZzzzzzzz:
So anything you cannot confirm or verify from where you stand is opinion?
How about whether or not you are dreaming right now? Is your conclusion just an opinion, because you cannot verify that your verifications are not just part of a dream sequence?
Facts are facts, whether or not you personally hold them as opinions or facts. There is a precise understanding in our language of the difference between fact and opinion.
It is a fact that either I am a Christian or not, the reality of my status of being a Christian or not is not a matter of opinion, it is a factual condition as there is an accepted way in which to verify the truth or falsity of being Christian.
Only in situations where facts cannot be determined by any means does the category of opinion apply. This is exactly what differentiates opinion from fact, and why the theory of evolution of species is not a fact, but an opinion.
This is so funny, this is really too easy.

It is of no importance to me that anyone knows my theology.
I know what it is, that is what counts.

Well, apparently, the precise understanding that YOU have for what a scientific fact is, is not the same as that understanding held by the majority of the scientific community. If it were, then either you would accept evolution, or the scientific community would reject it.
And, you're quite right. This is really too easy.
