Tom Moore asks:

<< Are you really going to argue that they have no purpose unless they say
something like "Hi, Tom, how's tricks?">>

Hmm, we were comparing the diffence between an intelligent design, and a
random design. Suffice to say most people can discern a difference between the
rock patterns we were talking about. Common sense is often a wonderful
attribute to have in these controversies.

<< Because you can't show me a single example of something that is not
designed. >>

I just showed you. The rocks on the beach. What intelligence designed them? I
suspect this is a matter of sloppy (random?) terms. "Purpose" and "Design"
are being used in different ways...sort of the way evolutionists use the word
"evolution."

This makes it doubly hard to achieve clarity. I'll have to abandon the effort
for the moment, even though Tom and I have obviously been intelligently
designed for this discussion.
