Judgement Day: Intelligent Design on Trial - PBS Nova

In 2004, the Dover school board ordered science teachers to read a statement to high school biology students suggesting that there is an alternative to Darwin's theory of evolution called intelligent design--the idea that life is too complex to have evolved naturally and therefore must have been designed by an intelligent agent. The teachers refused to comply. Later, parents opposed to intelligent design filed a lawsuit in federal court accusing the school board of violating the constitutional separation of church and state.

@types10000 so is intelligent to thing everything was create out of noting then? at the end is just Ur opinion but i don't say is ignorance.

[types10000]

@tocadiscos5

"i see the world i just say something create all this.who i don't know"

- as i already pointed-out your position that SOMEONE must have created it is a position based on ignorance; your asserting that something intelligent must be responsible without evidence

[types10000]

@tocadiscos5

"yeah. but evolution is theory of how it work is not a theory to explain who make it work"

- there isnt any evidence anyone is required to 'make it work'; it's essentially just mutations acted apon by natural selection.

"look atheist say God didn't exists they certain of that"

- incorrect, god 'not existing' is the logical default until evidence he does exist is presented, this doesnt require absolute certainty.

[tocadiscos5]

@types10000 yeah. but evolution is theory of how it work is not a theory to explain who make it work. look atheist say God didn't exists they certain of that. they can't prove it. believers say God exists they certain to . and they can't prove it. they way i see the world i just say something create all this.who i don't know. but i still don't think everything was made unintelligent . but at the end is just my opinion. and what is true is what science always discover.

@tocadiscos5

"i just give an opinion"

- your entitled to give your opinoin

- however i'm entitled to demonstrate why it is logically flawed.

Welcome to the public arena.

"you sure God don't exist?"

- i do not need to be certain of whether a god exists inorder to believe/disbelieve

- i simply dont believe in one because there isnt any evidence in favour of one.

[tocadiscos5]

@types10000 we give me an explanation out noting everything was just create. i can't prove god exist but you can't prove god don't exist. i just give an opinion. i didn't say is a fact. you sure God don't exist? can you prove it?

@tocadiscos5

'but i dont think things like animals, plants and complex brains just happened' [PARAPHRASE]

a). evolutionary theory doesnt assert 'they just happened', it provides a comprehensive framework to explain how it occurred, this framework is currently incredibly well evidenced.

b). even if evolution didnt exist there would still be no evidence that intelligence was involved and the logical thing to do would be to regard it as an unknown.

[types10000]

@tocadiscos5

" i think evolution is possible. but not completely true. . at the end is a theory"

Evolution is a SCIENTIFIC THEORY:

- theory in the coloquial sense is the same as a hypothesis

- however theory in the scientific sense is completely different and signifies the HIGHEST level of evidentiary support eg. the theory of gravity, atomic theory .etc

[types10000]

@tocadiscos5

"so im ignorant because i think something just happen with out no help"

- no, your claim commits the argument from ignorance logical fallacy because your asserting the subject to be responsible for something without first producing a causal link.

essentially:

'duhhhh i dont know how else this could have happened therefore x must have done it.'

[tocadiscos5]

@types10000 so im ignorant because i think something just happen with out no help . what i say was my opinion. i think evolution is possible. but not completely true. . at the end is a theory. no body have all the true. but i think science is close. but still i don't think everything just happen. everything like animal plants the incredibly complex brains of the people who make watches, motor cars, etc. came from an unintelligent evolutionary process. ?
