Intelligent Design vs. Casino Universe

if the modern human originated from Africa only all these 'rocks at the right age', 'rocks of the right type' & 'rocks that are exposed to the surface' that are not situated in Africa are irrelevant to our origin as species.

Since you mentioned straw men in your post, Herald, I thought it appropriate to mention that you changed Intelligent Design to intelligent design when making that final comment...which was a straw man of sorts.

Intelligent design is intelligent design: 'a process beginning with intelligent agents (no matter whoever the agent might be) that produce complex and specified information (CSI). If an object was designed, it will contain high levels of CSI. The CSI is established by experimental tests . One of the tests for CSI is the presence of irreducible complexity, which can be discovered by experimental reverse-engineering to see if the objects require all of their parts to function properly. The presence of irreducible complexity leads to the conclusion that such structures were designed'.
If you take off the engine of an airplane it would not be able to blast off. You and me, for example cannot design the airplane for we don't have the CSI ... but there are avionics engineers that have the CSI.
BTW the very term of intelligent design for testing biological structures is derived from the things we have done as intelligent designers. I don't see what is the problem.
When you and FM claim that ID cannot exist ... this simply is not true ... for even in biology it exists (under the from of GMOs, grape varieties, stock breeding, etc.). Well, this ID may not be that ID, but it at least proves that ID in biology is possible ... unlike the evolutionist theories that cannot take out even one lab or non-lab example for evolutionary transformation ... of one species into another.

When you and FM claim that ID cannot exist .

Our DNA most definitely contains sequences which are in common with fish and creatures far more primitive than fish.

This 'most definitely' is not confirmed by the backtrack of the DNA code from the computer analysis.

Besides, if the modern human originated from Africa only all these 'rocks at the right age', 'rocks of the right type' & 'rocks that are exposed to the surface' that are not situated in Africa are irrelevant to our origin as species.

To acknowledge what you do not know, is a display of strength. To pretend you know what you truly don't, is a display of weakness.

Yes, it is.

I don't even know where you're getting all this off tangent speculation from, but if you are referring to the video, then it detailed the discovery of Tiktaalik and had nothing to do with the more recent homo sapiens discovered in Africa.

Im beginning to worry about your comprehension skills

Yes that's Design, but by its very process, Darwin was able to conclude on the mechanisms(and three LAWS) of NATURAL SELECTION.

But that he was able to conclude that does not mean his conclusions had any evolutionary value to the human species despite them being milk and honey to those seeking to throw off the traces, bits and bridles of Christian sexual teachings.
