Please, don't jump on me, yet -- this still is just a hypothesis:
Like any other desease, only through CONTAMINATION can Intellect spread through Space -- from planet to planet (not necessarily the neighbouring ones)... |

I like it.

Funny indeed!
Actually, if you remember the movie, "2001 - the space odissey", the very beginning: An ape, suddenly, picks up a bone and begins hitting things with it... Perhaps, the "visitors" might've left something behind that has been overlooked for ages, until accidentally picked up by a curious ape... (hence, Contamination!!!)

Yeh, maybe they found a star gate.

There is no evidence of intentional design anywhere anyway.
I like the intelligent contaminate thing though, very insightful. |

But I guess everyone has their opinion. But this thread was about design. What constitutes evidence that a thing is an intentional "design?" What might be some ways to determine this? |

I think that life is evidence of intelligent design.
Actually, not Life itself, but the nature of intellect, i.e. accumulation and propagation into higher levels... (No animal is capable of that! The most animals can do is mutate from generation to generation, rather than build/progress upon the previous experience... (sometimes within the same generation) What constitutes evidence that a thing is an intentional "design?"
The very inquisitive nature of ontellect (?) What might be some ways to determine this?
Look at the history of Humanity... |

Everyone knows what you think. You cannot prove intentional design in nature. So there are no ways to determine that. |

Everyone knows what you think. You cannot prove intentional design in nature. So there are no ways to determine that. Yes well everyone knows what you think too so big deal. I can prove it to some people via logic and common sense. But the bottom line about Proof is that it is about convincing someone. |

I can prove it to some people via logic and common sense. I think the term you are looking for is 'convince'. Of course you can convince people, and you can do so with logical-seeming statements as well. Not everyone is very discriminating. But the bottom line about Proof is that it is about convincing someone.
Is it? Is that what proof is all about? I'm confused... surely you aren't saying that 'convincing others' is the measure of proof... then every preacher and inspirational speaker and magician would be providing 'excellent proof'. Maybe you are saying the only value of proof is in convincing others? |

Maybe you are saying the only value of proof is in convincing others? Even in science, "proof" is about convincing, confirming, believing, etc. It is done through repeated testing and observing. If through repeated testing, the integrity of the experiment remains constant, then it is labeled "fact" until and unless that fact is proven wrong or the integrity of the findings change with new information or new discovery or observation. |
