Intelligent Design for sure

Sunday morning I woke up with some sort of a disturbance in my eye. I was fine when I went to bed on Saturday and didn't feel a thing. Obviously something must have gotten into my eye. I spent most of the day rubbing my eyes or if my mom is reading this, trying not to rub my eye. Of course it just wouldn’t go away. Come Monday morning and the irritation had subsided and my eye was red as blood. I looked in the mirror in amazement as the white blood cells were rushing to the rescue of my eye. Where is the argument I wonder.

Intelligent design is something that is amazingly controversial and I never understood why. All the intelligence is there to see. Everything in the working of our body screams intelligence. Everything in the body of every animal screams intelligence. And here I am not even talking about the mind and its complexities that that discussion would push us into.

Today man creates so many different kinds of machines; some self healing and others not. But either way all these machines, in their workings are a reflection of the intelligence that man puts into creating them. Every single bit of that machine is crafted my man's intelligence. Every concept that the machine follows has to do with what man conceived and created. Nothing in a machine ever happens by itself. It is always put there deliberately either as planned or by mistake.

So then why do we think that the most complex of machines on this earth evolved over time without the help of an intelligent being? How could something as advanced as the human body (or the body of any animal) have been a product of a chemical reaction and the evolution of it over time? Why don’t we see the wheel evolve into anything more advanced then a circular locomotive device even after so many years of it's invention?

I really wonder if the concept of intelligent design is really that hard to comprehend given what we see with our body on a daily basis.

You jumped the gun. I was not suggesting God or Religion in any of this. All I am saying is that it is hard for me to believe that something as complex as the human body, let alone the mind, is something that just evolved. Hence the tendency to believe in an intelligent design.

Religion or GOD can be seen as one of the interpretations of that intelligent design.

So what if they become extinct. You are suggesting in your post that an intelligent design is flawless. Why? So many intelligent things that man creates is full of flaws and very much destructible in hostile environments. Why should animals and plants be any different?

Your post still doesnot address why intelligent design is not possible. It just talks about an assumtion that God is all loving and the fact that there is violence or killing in the animal kingdom is proof that it is not Intelligent design. What?? First off, that has nothing to do with weather the design was intelligently created or not. This is like saying that because the programmer had good intentions the code will be free of bugs. Come on dude.

By the way you seem to be clubbing intelligent design and God. My post is not about God. I am just amazed at the power of the human body and mind and am wondering if evolution did it all. There is no God or religion in this discussion.
