Oh he knows that. That's just the favored argumentative tactic our self-proclaimed paragon of maturity, called Argumentum ad I-know-you-are-but-what-am-I.

I get it, too - I spent enough timetrying to tease it out of him! I get the idea that the universe might be a ..well intelligent entity rater than a life -form. But in fact, there is no valid reason to suppose that to be the case and a few good reasons to suppose it isn't - quite apart from the logical placing of who has to prove what. So the proponents of a cosmic -mind -god have it all to do, but prefer to make a case by telling us that we are too stupid to see the Truth.

Speaking of which, if you slap the "God" label on what appears to be a material universe, you can expect a rejection of the claim. It is not an unreasonable reaction.

Yes, minds like yours are such a pity.

No let's not. You are not educated, nor sophisticated enough to understand the difference between how life originated vs. how life evolved. You want to argue that origins of life as Evolution. It's not.

Clear up that confusion on your part and perhaps you might be able to progress.

You see, all you know about creationism is what liars for creationism have brainwashed you with. It is nothing more than pseudo-science. It is not a science and should never be taught as a science. Perhaps you should visit the Dover Case.

This is clear ignorance about cell evolution and genetics on your part. This is why you will never understand.

Your diversionary tactics don't play with me Esui - as noted by others I see right through your errors, assumptions, and fallacies.
He is not bright enough to even understand his own unsubstantiated rubbish.

You also seem to have trouble distinguishing between APPARENT design and intelligent design.
Pretending that you understand enough to determine when something has been debunked when you haven't a clue what is involved in the subjects under discussion is part of the vanity and hubris, Arq. You have to know the material to know whether or not it has been debunked. You do NOT. I am tired of your incessant pretense to knowledge you do not have.
That would be the point of the bold about the Trojan Horses in my post above, Arq.

It is clear you do seem to understand my views. I do not understand your reticence about the consciousness field since there is little else that can accommodate our composite consciousness. Where else do you think it can reside within our reality? Since it is "EM-like" dark stuff no physical material can contain it, just produce it.
