will the new ultra super computers finally solve the intelligent design debate once and for all?

No. It's already been settled: ID is a bunch of empty nonsense.

It depends on the brand.

I feel better knowing that it has been settled. Who was the scientist who finally settled it?

Abacus · 08-23-2002, 07:30 PM

Charles Darwin.

Blinn · 08-23-2002, 07:33 PM

ditto.

the theory of evolution proves there is no intelligent design to the biological world? wow! a theory is a settled proof!

It's as good as any other theory. The theory of gravity, quantum theory, electromagnetic theory, etc. Plus we have all of those fossils. Tons and tons of fossils.

The word "theory" used in a scientific context is most definitely not a synonym for "wild guess." But I'm sure you already knew that, genuine truth-seeker that you are.

Yeah, there is also germ theory. Personally, I think that ID theory (icky demon theory) should also be taught in medical school alongside with germs. Has anyone ever seen a germ? NO! There is no evidence at all, just wild speculations be so called "scientists." The TRUTH of demons causing disease should be taught along side the religion of germ theory in all classrooms.

No.

The super-pain-in-the-ass computer (I hate computers) would have no way to calculate the existance nor the identity of the designer. Of course, the designer could make it all a lot easier for everybody by coming out of the closet, so to speak, but I don't see that happening. Therefore, we'll continue to be stuck with various translations of religious texts of doubtful veracity, as opposed to the evidence sweated out over the lifetimes of a myriad of scholors.

However, perhaps the monster mojo box might be able to calculate the laws of physics that kicked it all off - this last is strictly the specualtion of a layman and worth no more than the electrons that went into posting it.
