Comments by "Kate S" (@KateeAngel) on "What Is Intelligent Design? — Science and God | 5 Minute Video" video.

  1. The presenter doesn't know much about non-equillibrium thermodynamics and dissipative systems. It has been long shown in multiple experiments that systems, physical and chemical, in such conditions can self-organise. Just because things in human world are invented with planning of intelligent beings, doesn't mean the same is true for natural systems. Those two types of complex things - the ones designed, and the ones arising from natural processes - function differently. They cannot be directly compared. In fact the more I study biology, the more I think that such systems like living organisms, with homeostasis and ability to sustain their own dynamic equilibrium can come ONLY from the natural processes like selection linked to dissipation of energy and entropy. Only that way can self-organising systems with increasing complexity come about. The planned design from a blueprint can create complex systems, but the ones, which cannot self-organise and maintain their own homeostasis. Like all human technology. I do see the evidence that the creative force of wild nature is and most likely will always be bigger than creative force of any "intelligent designer" and any civilization. Humans usually tend to overestimate human-like intelligence and civilizations and underestimate wild nature. I think that comes from lack of knowledge of how nature works and trap of constant unproductive comparisons between nature and human society.

  2. Watch "Professor Dave Explains" debunking James Tour on abiogenesis. Dave explains how abiiogenesis actually works. Creationists like the ones in the video, don't even know how it works and resort to strawman

  3. Rudimentary organs, transposons in your DNA, endogenous retroviruses, cancer etc - clearly not intelligent design at all. I studied biology for 12 years, and I see how not intelligent forces that created biological systems actually are.
