The teeth of the Australopithecus may be readically different from that of the other apes, the teeth of neanderthals were quite different from modern humans, that doesnt mean that they had left the hominid family all together the eye can evolve independently so many different times in so many different ways it is mind boggling as to why. I believe it is because the eye is so useful, but your right it does not mean it has a designer. How do you use evolution to explain the many consistancies in the universe? You all think im naive and a christian who is grasping for straws, all i wanted to point out was that anything is a possibility, and evolution does not explain why life could emerge on earth just how. ps like i said im not any religion. Im just an open minded person searching for the truth

Im already aware of the science of evolution and how it works, I have taken a number of classes and done some independent study on the subject. I just didnt put the information in my thread because i assumed those who were interested wouldT already know what evolution and what the real intelligent design theory was about. You misinterpreted my idea, i never said that mathematical evidence disproved evolution, i simply immplied that because of the amount of information in DNA, and the fact that scientist are constantly discovering new things about the cell, like iriducable complexity,it points towards a bigger answer than just simply evolution. The cell is full of machines that work as one as can not fuction without everything, that means that evolution could not work on it unless it was already there to begin with! Intelligent design is only a young theory, and as we all remember everyone in the science world scoffed at Darwin as well. We DONT know all the answers and i was simply trying to immply that many scientists today think they do and therefore any more evidence is irrelivant. Intelligent design doesnt contradict the theory of evolution. Darwin himself was never sure about how that one simple organism came to form, and the fact taht the DNA that makes up all life is so complex, with some much information that has to be precise leads me to believe that it was not a coincidence that life began on earth! I know that "lucy" was bipedal but that does not prove that she was part of the hominin family, for all we know humans and all our ancestors could have evolved from a very different life form. There are similarities in "Lucy" and humans but no link that makes her any more than an ape that walked up right. Humans have something that apes just dont have and that is self awareness and the ability to create information. Information is the recognizable trait of intelligence and isnt the amount of information in DNA mind boggling. It is an amount of information we as humans have not matched

My general idea is simple! Is it not possible that Intelligent design, that is the creation of life by intelligent means ( I have no idea what it is or could be, the possibilities are endless and mind boggling ) could incorporate evolutionary process. In other words life was created and meant to evolve and form on its own. While i already understand that intelligent design theory has not been able to produce lab results, I also know that mathematics is a very real thing, and Intelligent Design theory definitly has the mathmatical evidence. I also know that Evolution leaves behind some very real evidence, and i believe it happens every day. Science today has become somewhat clouded, When people present theories, the think for some reason that it must mean the previous explanation was wrong. Science needs to follow the evidence and be open minded to wherever that evidence may take them. To see the whole picture we need to include every bit of evidence we know of. On the topic of Evolution, I do not know if man came from apes or not, it seems likely but the fact is that the australopithecines have never been proven to be any more than ape. We have never found evidence of that ancestor the theory proposes we had. Also there has been much evidence that humans have appeared on the earth much earlier than previous expected. Im not saying i understand the answers to all these thoughts, but i do know that often when evidence comes up that threatens a popular theory, people will go to great lengths to discredit it. The only thoughts Darwin ever gave on intelligent design theory (or what it was called in his day) He saw no evidence of intelligent design, yet he did not rule it out. He also commented that if there was evidence of intelligent design his theory of life coming from one simple organism would break down. Darwin was a true scientist, he looked at evidence and followed it, and as a scientist always does he also speculated things. We shouldnt take darwins entire writings as the bible of life, we should look at his evidence critically, and over time and keep what remains applicable. By the way, i just wanted to let every one know that i dont really see myself as part of any organized religion that i have ever heard of. I know that many people see those who believe in Design theory as agenda pushing christians, but the majority of them arent. That doesnt mean of course that the Agenda pushing Christians in the U.S political realm arent loving the theory and how they can use it!

Is it not a possibility that intelligent design theory, in other words the creation of life by some intelligent form(i have no idea what it is or could be) could include the process of evolution. It is always a possible explanation that The design was meant to form on its own.
