Death.

Yeah...but what about the human eye? Huh?

C'mon, it should be as clear as day that because Eve gave Adam an apple, death must exist.

rw: What about it?

rw: And Eve was clearly designed for just this purpose.

It couldn't have made itself. It's too perfect to have just evolved that way.

I don't think "death" refutes intelligent design, either. Just because you do not understand what purpose it serves doesn't mean there isn't one--but beyond your ability to understand. God moves in mysterious ways, y'know.

Just who do you think you are that He should reveal all things to you?

Maybe I should move this thread to the Humor forum?...

Nahhh. We'll see if any of our theist posters want to comment. And besides, there may be some that think Rainbow Walking producing a one-word post is some sort of miracle, and maybe even the source of a brand-new argument for God!

Diana: It couldn't have made itself.

Rw: Why not?

Diana: It's too perfect to have just evolved that way.

Rw: You mean those wonderfully complex optical organs of sight that are the first thing to deteriorate as the human body nears death? What about the human brain? Is it also too perfect to have just evolved? Because you do not understand the relationship between the various spectrums of light and its ramifications to the food chain you default to a godunnit? Did you know the mating habits of the common white tailed deer are regulated by the light of the moon? Do you know how photosynthesis works? Did you know that the human eye is sensitive to only about 8 percent of the light spectrum leaving roughly 92 percent un-detectable to the naked eye? That the eyes of many animals are more complex than our own?

Diana: I don't think "death" refutes intelligent design, either.

Rw: Then you prefer to assume this omniscient creator intentionally created all these marvelously complex organs to wear out and die? Humans can build machines that have lasted longer. Surely an intelligent creator could have done better?

Diana: Just because you do not understand what purpose it serves doesn't mean there isn't one--but beyond your ability to understand.

Rw: Ah…I see. It’s the old “mysterious ways” argument. I know what natural purpose death serves. But this purpose is incongruent to a claim of intelligent design.

Diana: God moves in mysterious ways, y'know.

Rw: But not very consistent ones. A truly intelligent design would have accounted for the ravages of time, don’t you think?

diana: Just who do you think you are that He should reveal all things to you?

Rw: What does such a being, if such existed, have to gain by keeping me in the dark? Does it fear its creation?

that is really just an opinion since there is no way for us to independently verify whether it was made by another or whether it evolved. so it isn't a proof.
