yesterday in class, we had a pretty heated debate about evolution & intelligent design
in my opinion, i think intelligent design has a pretty legit chance of owning evolution
first of all, the theory of evolution is just that! a theory
some say there is actual scientific proof that evolution is how we came to this earth, but i think that is a bunch of BS
but really, how in the world can you prove that we were little particles in water and grew like a bunch of Chia Pets?
intelligent design just makes everything make sense
though it requires a whole lot of blind faith, if you really think about it, mankind does not run the world by itself.
i think the watch metaphor, that the packet we read as well as Mr. Basinger used, is a really good representation of the Earth and our bodies
just like a watch, our bodies are very complex systems
in order to survive, each part of our body needs to work side-by-side and in sync to each other
we dont live our lives controlling our bodies : blink, heartbeat heartbeat, inhale, blink, heartbeat heartbeat, exhale, heartbeat, etc etc
that's just not how we live!
there is a greater force helping us maintain life every second of our lives
this can be seen in either a religious or scientific manner
religiously, the greater force is, of course, God
god, the creater of the universe, designed every living and non-living thing with every detail of their systems to be able to maintain life
it makes more sense that there is a divine guidance rather than random mutations and natural selection
scientifically, if we DID exist from evolution, there must have been some sort of intelligent design to start it all at one point
the interior designs and functions dont come just by evolution
when cells die, how do they appear in another organism?
evolution doesnt prove how these cells knew their specific functions even before the organisms were fully developed
and it all comes down to the question of WHO this intelligent designer was
god? or another divine being?
either way, though the existence of these divine beings cannot be tested, the whole idea of an intelligent designer just seems to connect how things are in life without the push of mankind

a few things: first of all, if you use the whole "evolution is a theory" argument, then creationism would lose because creationism is barely a hypothesis.
ReplyDeletesecondly, we don't need to control our bodies, that's what our cells are for. their purpose is for us to work efficiently, to keep us as humans running efficiently. why do we need some "creator" to handle that when the cells do it on their own.
ummmmm
ReplyDeletemyles, what about our mind? our mind controls our actions as well. it's not all about the cells doing all the work.
our mind is made up by a bunch of nerves put together in one big mushy thing called the brain which is run by cells.
ReplyDeletealso, i'm not sure how the mind comes in to play anyways
but how does your mind know that what you're thinking of right now is a product of what the mind thinks? maybe the mind's imagining that its a mind, but its really not. maybe, maybe. haha
ReplyDeletesorry i just wanted to say something confusing. no but seriously, consider that your mind may be fooling itself, and that it may not know what it itself really is
