The higher level laws of nature such as evolution are merely the consequence of more fundamental laws such as laws of chemistry and quantum mechanics. I don't really see why the most fundamental laws (of which we now perhaps know some) had to be defined by a creator entity.

It just makes them look so less intelligent.

Enoch,
Your writing style and topic selection remind me very much of two former members: Ed=mc2 and SuperiorEd. Unfortunately, SuperiorEd was banned just one day before you began your membership, so I'm afraid you've missed out on discussions with him. If memory serves me correctly, I stopped seeing posts from Ed=mc2 around the time SuperiorEd's membership began, but I could be wrong. Point being, you may enjoy a discussion with him.
Or you could just do what I do, and talk to myself.

There is no evidence for "intelligent" design. If life was the goal, it's a pretty bad job:
And as has been stated before, the thread title is massively misleading as the scientist in the video never attacked evolution, or provided any proof regarding creationism.

You're basing your analysis on a book that also claims complete and utter nonsense like people surviving inside whales or silly global floods that never happened

I cannot have sound for the video where I am so...why is Evolution a lie? Did that trickster fool us with Dinosaur bones and the size of the Universe again?
Do you need sound? An acorn is a 25 foot oak tree enfolded by information. Collapsing wave function theory says that the indeterminate wave of probability must be collapsed to be determined as an outcome. Which came first? Did matter come before the choice to collapse the wave? Entropy in information theory states that a bit of information will degrade from its source. All things in nature flow from a source and then away. The source is always greater than that which flows. Which came first? Did the matter precede the consciousness that is higher than its source? The double slit experiment demonstrates that the states of matter are determined by the observer. Which came first? Did the matter originate the consciousness or did the consciousness originate the states of matter by collapsing the indeterminate wave of probability?
Creating sentences with the word "entropy" and "wave function" does not mean God exists. Your use of the terms fails completely to understand why there is a collapsing wave function the first place. A lot people including physicists get wrapped up in this field (sic) of determining the indeterminate.
First : An "observer" is a way of putting a stake in the ground and saying from this point forwards we know something, prior to it we know nothing........think about if something has never been observed NOBODY in the universe can state what state it is in!
The wave function describes everything in the universe and since we have already inferred that that which we have not observed is undetermined this means it MUST be possible to be in ANY state. Hence the wave function can have infinite outcomes.
The collapsing wave function comes about because once we "know something" we can identify "lots of things" and thus all those terms in the wave function go (collapse) to zero. Hey presto the observed "something" takes on a known state.
You are confusing "observer" as a person with an intelligence rather than the identification of a known state.
There is evolution there is no God, deal with it.

Actually we can know, and the answer is extremely obvious when you think about it.
I guess if we were to simplify this whole thread it would boil down to the eternal question:
What came first? The chicken or the egg?
The answer to which we will never know, so stop bickering about it.
The chicken is the result of billions of years of evolution. It didn't suddenly pop out of thin air. So lets refine this argument to it's most basic components, that is to say, we need to ask this question not for a chicken, but for the very first type of life on Earth.

You know, EnochWasRight reminds me of a certain 'superior' high school band teacher who would make identical threads containing the same pseudoscience, imaginary words and terrible grammar (sentences in a paragraph should generally contain more than 4-5 words).
I've told you before...Ed, the incoherent nonsense you fling around might impress the 4th graders in your bible studies class, but it won't carry any weight on a free and open forum like this.
Superiored and I are the same. ATS banned me, then invited me to join again with a new username. They banned me on Valentine's Day (Martyr's Day). Irony is obvious. I was banned, as stated by ATS, because my name and my blog are similar. They also said I was linking to my blog directly. It just so happens, I revealed some information about the Freemasons on the same weekend. Check my last two threads as SuperiorEd. In my blog, I also write a post about the subject of denying ignorance and its true meaning.
Things evolve, there is no doubt. Consciousness can be misguided at times if it denies the truth that consciousness preexists matter. The Dog has open eyes to the powers that be. Both ears are now good as well. If you consult the thread on Little Orphan Annie, you know why my Avatar is a Dog with open eyes and ears to hear truth only.

Aha I knew it!
Your drivel is unmistakable! seems like my 'thoughts' were anything but misguided no?

Oh wow, no, its worse! you work in education?? how do you not see this?
Protip: sentences shouldn't contain 7(!) commas

Superior band teacher, a while back after painfully reading through just one paragraph of yours, I reached the conclusion that you are not someone to take seriously. As I previously mentioned you spew nonsensical drivel and attempt to pass it off as fact or science. Its dishonesty of the highest order and should be treated as such.
More pro tips:
Stop making up your own words
Stop changing the meaning of words
And the reasons you give for your ban? I don't buy them, I suspect it was something more sinister on your part.
I'll take the two-post reply as an indication as to how close to the bone I was

You'll have noticed that I have placed a post ban on your account. It's come to the staff's attention that you have been linking to your own blog in many of your posts. That is against our T and C, which you have agreed to when you signed up for ATS...
