It's been claimed too often by religious folk that we are designed in such an elegant way that there is "no way" we could've just came into being. I'd like to point out that humans have virtually no perception of time other than how we interpret basic timelines that only show relevancy to the said being. This is called interpretation. All animals have it. If you can perceive, then you have some basic understanding of time. But it's incredibly basic. Because of this, we will never truly be able to fathom the timeline in which we became "human". We can only grasp slideshows. We can't see the "small" changes creationists call macroevolution (the same -blam!-ing thing).
Consider a snowball or the butterfly effect. We cannot interpret the impact of isolated moments because that is not how we perceive time. We perceive it through analyzing results instead of acknowledging the cause. That is how the human mind works. We virtually dumb down the real world this way as a survival mechanism.
Next up. Intelligent design. I like this topic... if we were created by a god, in "his" image, then why are their diseases, infections, and a loss of relevancy in certain body parts such as the appendix? We are evolving without it, and one day our whole anatomy will look vastly different. Most "deformities" are actually of trial and error; failed or successful experiments, in which successful experiments go on to produce offspring. This again snowballs. Now once we consider something like the universal genetic code, and how we are related to virtually everything living on earth, it's not hard to see even a minimal connection in this process. Why I mention time is because we will never be able to interpret just how far these mutations went.
-whales have a part of the brain that deals with social interactions, in which us humans lack (by this logic they have a higher potential to truly love)
-tardigrades. Do research on these and then come tell me about intelligent design.

That's a terrible answer.

Things don't just evolve and progress by chance, that is Ilogical. It's like saying 10 colors of paint poured out and formed a gorgeous realistic painting over time.

Correct they evolve based on the ecosystems they live in.

Let me ask you: do you know anything about tardigrades? Get back to me. I'll let you know in the morning what I have to tell you. Probably after work.

Lol. I guess it just makes more sense to scrape some mud and an old bone together. Make yourself a woman. Right? No chance. It's [i]"intelligent".[/i]

Well if it's an almighty God who did it, it makes absolute sense. He alone has the power of creation by the Word of His mouth. Can nature draw a straight line? If so, for how long?
