Intelligent Design, the Designer(s) and the Processes- Revisited

-
Intelligent design begins with a seemingly innocuous question: Can objects, even if nothing is known about how they arose, exhibit features that reliably signal the action of an intelligent cause? Wm. Dembski


Yes, they can.


Most, if not all, anti-IDists always try to force any theory of intelligent design to say something about the designer and the process involved BEFORE it can be considered as scientific. This is strange because in every use-able form of design detection in which there isn’t any direct observation or designer input, it works the other way, i.e. first we determine design (or not) and then we determine the process and/ or designer. IOW any and all of our knowledge about the process and/ or designer comes from first detecting and then understanding the design.

IOW reality dictates the the only possible way to make any determination about the designer(s) or the specific process(es) used, in the absence of direct observation or designer input, is by studying the design in question.

If anyone doubts that fact then all you have to do is show me a scenario in which the designer(s) or the process(es) were determined without designer input, direct observation or by studying the design in question.

If you can't than shut up and leave the design detection to those who know what they are doing.

This is a virtue of design-centric venues. It allows us to neatly separate whether something is designed from how it was produced and/ or who produced it (when, where, why):

“Once specified complexity tells us that something is designed, there is nothing to stop us from inquiring into its production. A design inference therefore does not avoid the problem of how a designing intelligence might have produced an object. It simply makes it a separate question.”
Wm. Dembski- pg 112 of No Free Lunch


Stonehenge- design determined; further research to establish how, by whom, why and when.

Nasca Plain, Peru- design determined; further research to establish how, by whom, why and when.

Puma Punku- design determined; further research to establish how, by whom, why and when.

Any artifact (archeology/ anthropology)- design determined; further research to establish how, by whom, why and when- that is unless we have direct observation and/ or designer input.

Fire investigation- if arson is determined (ie design); further research to establish how, by whom, why and when- that is unless we have direct observation and/ or designer input.

An artifact does not stop being an artifact just because we do not know who, what, when, where, why and how. But it would be stupid to dismiss the object as being an artifact just because no one was up to the task of demonstrating a method of production and/ or the designing agent.

And even if we did determine a process by which the object in question may have been produced it does not follow that it will be the process used.


As for the people who have some "God phobia":

Guillermo Gonzalez tells AP that “Darwinism does not mandate followers to adopt atheism; just as intelligent design doesn't require a belief in God.”

(As a comparison no need to look any further than abiogenesis and evolutionism. Evolutionitwits make those separate questions even though life’s origin bears directly on its subsequent diversity. And just because it is a separate question does not hinder anyone from trying to answer either or both. Forget about a process except for the vague “random mutations, random genetic drift, random recombination culled by natural selection”. And as for a way to test that premise “forgetaboutit”.)

For more information please read the following:

Who Designed the Designer?

(only that which had a beginning requires a cause)

Mechanisms in Context

Intellegent Design is about the DESIGN not the designer(s). The design exists in the physical world and as such is open to scientific investigation.

All that said we have made some progress. By going over the evidence we infer that our place in the cosmos was designed for (scientific) discovery. We have also figured out that targeted searches are very powerful design mechanisms when given a resource-rich configuration space.


Intelligent Design is the study of patterns in nature that are best explained as the result of intelligence. -- William A. Dembski

    Not really - "we infer" is actually we don't know but are heavily influenced by our religious predispositions so in the absence of any real evidence we presuppose design without agency or mechanism.

    Richtard:
    Not really -

    eally and science is done via inference Rich.

    And the design inference was reached by going over the evidence.

    OTOH you infer we are here due to blind, undirected (chemical) processes only because of your predisposition as you sure as hell don't have anything in the way of positive support.

    Inference is only part of it JOE:

    Generally you look at the universe, pick some part of it.

    You ponder about it and make some abductive conjecture as to why it is, possibly guided by inference / analogy / induction.

    But this isn't science. Fairies might live up your bottom, Joe - without a hypothesis that explains the how (without introducing unnecessary agents) and makes novel, testable predictions you're just navel gazing.

    Also, science DOESN'T work by 'not this therefore that', especially when YOU can't enumerate the NOT THIS component.

    Hope this helps.

    Actually, ID doesn't. no research, no testable hypothesis. we're not comparing two competing theories, because you don't have one. I can't opine on the limits of ID, because it hasn't actually started.

    "How many of them demonstrate that blind, undirected chemical processes are all that is required?"

    They don't. Science isn't about "all"; it's tentative, but it is an honest investigation into mechanisms, something ID finds very troubling.

    No - brute fact. we know little about teh observable universe due to its size, close study is difficult due to the vast distances required (not designed for discovery) and you've already shown you don't understand the concept of the unobservable universe.

    We don't have to know everything Rich. We are discovering new things almost on a daily basis. And the inference is about our planet and solar system also.

    And we are discovering new things almost every day.

    OK Stonehenge- we are studying it differently than a geologist would if it were a "natural" formation.

    Forensic science- the investigation is different when a murder is inferred as opposed to a "natural" death.

    Not at all. Just because ID is not about the designer(s) doesn't mean we cannot garner information about the designer(s) BY STUDYING THE DESIGN.

    That is how it is done in archaeology and forensics- I am sure if SETI ever finds something that is how they will do it too.

    Stonehenge:

    http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Stonehenge#Before_the_monument_.288000_BC_forward.29

    "The builders placed the bones of deer and oxen in the bottom of the ditch, as well as some worked flint tools. The bones were considerably older than the antler picks used to dig the ditch, and the people who buried them had looked after them for some time prior to burial."

    "Evidence of the second phase is no longer visible. The number of postholes dating to the early 3rd millennium BC suggest that some form of timber structure was built within the enclosure during this period. Further standing timbers were placed at the northeast entrance, and a parallel alignment of posts ran inwards from the southern entrance."

    All about the designers.

    Forensic science:

    DNA evidence, size and weight of attacker. handiness of attacker. Method employed. etc.

    All about the 'designer'.

    Don't always get DNA- can't tell the size and weight from DNA and it takes investigation to get to the method and still that may only be a method and not THE method.

    You may be able to get the weight by the depth of a footprint in soft ground. You may be able to guess the height from the size of the footprint.

    Nice strawman.

    That's yor whole "argument"- one strawman after another.

    What people have to do to infer design is to rule out alternatives and have some positive evidence.

    With archaeology if nature, operating freely can produce it then it would be a very hard sell to say it is an artifact. And that is how it is with Stonehenge. They ruled out nature, operating freely, observed a specification and inferred it was designed.

    Still don't know who did it nor how they did it. But people are working on that.

    5- Therefor Richtard has a hissy fit and declares I don't know how to use the EF even though I have used it successfully many times.

    And that is reason enough to check out that possibility.

    So check it out! Use the EF!

    Show your working!

    The GC gets bailed out at the first node because nature, operating freely can produce the structures observed.

    OM:
    Can it? Prove it!

    It's in the reference YOU provided dipshit wanker.

    Funny how you don't challenge data that agrees with your position but accept it unquestioningly.

    While contraction in the vertical direction reduced the flow thickness (without fracturing), horizontal contraction could only be accommodated by cracking throughout the flow. The size of the columns is primarily determined by the speed at which lava from a volcanic eruption cools. The extensive fracture network produced the distinctive columns seen today.

    There is simply no evidence that this process could have proceeded without intelligent guidance.

    The speed at which lava cools is so finely tuned that the probability of it being exactly the right temperature at the right time to produce the observed effect is larger then the available search space of the universe.

    Reducing the flow thickness without fracturing would require fine-tuning beyond anything that's available to our technology and it's simply not feasible that this process was unguided. The flow thickness would have to be specifically tuned by a designer in order for the observed pattern to form, any deviation from the exact flow rate would not produce that pattern. Flow rates don't control themselves you know! It's absurd to think that the complex feedback system required to produce the exact flow rate and heat gradients arose via natural processes!

    You simply have no evidence that this was a natural process and as such I think that you'll find if you run it through the EF you'll in fact find that it was designed.

    So, it's up to you. Do you believe what that liberal hotbed "Wikipedia" of all places says or do you want to form your own conclusion by following the evidence where it leads? I.E to design?

    Next you'll be telling me that the system of continental plates floating on magma that provide our living space is not designed! And that would be absurd!

    I did challenge it at one time and I did question it.

    IOW you are a piece of shit know-nothing wanker.

    Joe,
    I did challenge it at one time and I did question it.

    But now you accept everything that Dembski, Behe etc say as gospel. They are right, regardless.

    Do you agree with Dembski that there was a worldwide flood as described in the bible? And that Noah had an arc with all the earth's animals on it?


    IOW you are a piece of shit know-nothing wanker.

    Is that how you'll be responding to high school pupils that challenge the data you'll be providing on your "intelligent design awareness days"?

    No, I was sure the ToE was bullshit and design was the better explanation long before I ever heard of those guys.

    But thanks for continuing to prove that you are indeed a piece of shit wanker.

    As for the IDAD I see you have abandoned that thread because you were expoosed as a know-nuthin' drooling moron.

    And BTW I hope you are satisfied with getting one round of posts a day (on this blog anyway) and you just used it for today...

    No problem Joe. I just won't bother to post here any more at all. You know where you can find me if you want to continue this "conversation".

    And the global flood? Agree or disagree? Funny how you pretended that I did not even ask the question.

    This is my last post.
