    'The Design Argument is probably the most popular argument for the existence of God. Even a nonreligious person may look at the world, so complex and beautiful, and decide it must have been created by somebody very smart and powerful. Voltaire and Thomas Jefferson thought religions were absurd, but even they thought there must have been some kind of Creat ...[text shortened]... all-good god. Our world looks like the work of Congress.'

    Thus preserving your free will to choose the concept that everything has a Creator or that there was no Creator.

    No, mutations change the genetic code.

    It changes what was there before. Hence it was not pre-existing.

    I have seen it said that they acknowledge life looks to be designed but they claim
    it isn't,
    Most of this thread is about life NOT looking like it is designed!

    I cannot think why anyone without an agenda would think life is designed.
    It very clearly is not.

    Not at abio-genesis there was nothing before yet the code was written.

    You are also not telling it as it is when we start introducing new forms, if life for
    example started and moved up to a cell, however that was done. The physical new
    forms that are seen as common today like eyes, hearts, arms, legs, skin, bark, leafs,
    wings, teeth, beaks, and so on, these would all be new from the starting point of
    a single cell. There would be nothing to draw upon, nothing to tweak into the
    necessary alterations for the new forms and necessary requirements.

    Generic information has never been demonstrated to emerge from a chemical soup by chance and arrange itself into useful code without intelligent intervention. It is absurd to believe that is possible.

    Nobody is asserting that.

    Doesn't matter, the new forms present the same problem as abiogenesis,
    something new that has never been seen before don't just happen. A new
    feature/piece of equipment you add to your computer like a scanner, or headset
    all must have code that causes them to perform. It is no different in life, a new
    form must be made, its function must be directed. Multiple new things must
    always happen all at once, or its useless and can cause grave damage, even very
    deadly damage.

    You cannot grow a neck and not feed all the various parts to keep them alive, and
    they all must work together with the previous features, all the while not ruin what
    was there before. Even very small changes cannot just happen, it is not as
    simplistic as some would have us believe.

    Yes it does.
    There isn't another one of you or I is there?

    New instructions, new information, in order to do new functions. Be it at the beginning these new commands have issues, and they get progressively worse as time would roll on, as the amount of what could go wrong increases.

    You are quite right too, there isn't another you or I, so these instructions have to
    be written and obeyed over and over, even under going slight changes while
    maintaining the whole. This is far more complex than a computer CPU, or any other
    man made device.
