Comment on Gary Gilbert, Spectrum, and Pseudogenes by Carrie.
“It solves a great deal about origins – regardless of the identity or basic nature of the intelligent agent. Again, the seemingly simple conclusion that “intelligence exists” behind a given artefact is a very scientifically important conclusion – all by its little self.” – Sean Pitman
No, it doesn’t answer the question of origins because it begs the question of the origin of the intelligence. Sure, archeology and forensic science show us there was intelligence that existed–in humans–but speak nothing to the origin of science. No one stops at saying, “Aha, humans are the ultimate source of all creation because we know they are intelligent and create things.” Instead, we try to get at the origin of humans. And to put it another step back and say, “Aha, there is an Intelligent Designer (or many Intelligent Designers) out there” without asking how they came about is irrational. Irrational! You understand this term, Sean. So if you insist that this Intelligent Designer did not come from random processes, then you are a fideist. Straight and simple. You can only accept your position of a non-origin of an Intelligent Designer based on blind faith.
Your philosophy is downright inane.
