Some of you posts are foolish and some are even more foolish.


That is according to your estimate. An estimate that means absolutely nothing. Offering it shows desperation, an inability to comprehend what is being explained to you, or ague rationally.

''Emergent properties arise when the interaction of individual component produce new functions

"The whole is greater than the sum of its parts” – Aristotle


Multicellullar organisms are capable of completing functions that unicellular organisms could not undertake – this is due to the collective actions of individual cells combining to create new synergistic effects

In multicellular organisms:

Cells may be grouped together to form tissues
Organs are then formed from the functional grouping of multiple tissues
Organs that interact may form organ systems capable of carrying out specific body functions
Organ systems collectively carry out the life functions of the complete organism''

The idea that natural systems and constructed systems, if you are speaking of living things, is the difference in New York city and a dirt clod. And yet natural systems run down and eventually die. Even go extinct. As much as folks try to get around entropy real life and lab experiments show things go from order to disorder. So yes, even natural systems need The Designer.



Sorry to be blunt but it's quite clear that you don't have a clue.
