"Firstly it is impossible to tell whether or not an organ is useless. The function may simply be unknown and its use may be discovered in the future. this has happened with more then 100 formerly alleged useless vestigial organs in humans that are now known to be essential"
It's has been scientifically proven that the apendix is a useless organ. However, a better example of wasteful design is hollow bones in emus, as well as ostriches. A cave fish for example has partially evolved eyes, though lacks certain parts for it to function normally. That in itself disproves the theory of intelligent design, as the theory states that all beings had been created by a being which meets the criteria of Godhood (all powerful, all knowing, beneficient.) As an all knowing power would not implement elements of wasteful design, the theory of Intelligent Design is utter nonsense. And I have to ask, specifically, which organ in the human body was once thought to be useless, then later proved to be "essential"?
"These sentences have 97% homology and yet have opposite meanings. Just a small example showing what difference a very small percentage can make to the factor."
This has absolutely nothing to do with the discussion at hand. Linguistics and science are completely different fields, your example isn't in any means an argument to diminish the validity of proven scientific facts. If you're going to partake in a discussion dealing with SCIENTIFIC evidence, stick to scientific evidence and don't muddle up the arguments with unrelated topics.
Now that I've said that, yet again, I have to point out that you COMPLETELY missed the point of my post. I specifically said that the evidence I put forth was not meant to disprove creationism in a broader sense, nor did I say anywhere in my post that it was meant to prove evolution. I even wrote a third post explaining all that, and, as Oi to the world said, evolutionism and God are not seperate and conflicting theoretical concepts, they can work toegther, and by no means does believing in one require disbelief in the other.
