DAVID: There was no comment upon the last entry on 3-D DNA, and n ow an other article with a different approach, showing how loops are arranged for by cohesin:

DAVID: More about the arrangement that allows 3-D relationships between genes that are spread over a six-foot long DNA. The packing is purposeful for it allows more close relationships than would otherwise be possible. Certainly by design.

dhw: I can’t comment on every post, and especially on such highly technical articles! You have my blanket agreement that the complexities of cells and of all organisms represent the best possible argument for design. You also have my blanket response that as far as I am concerned, the mystery of design is not solved by the mystery of an unknown, sourceless, hidden superintelligence that is simply there and has always been there; nor is it solved by faith in chance; nor is it solved by some form of panpsychism. That is why I am an agnostic.

Is there any point where the demonstration of design complexity in 'such highly technical articles' would convince you a designing mind is necessary? This is a key point in my thinking, as with Dr. Tour. I know design keeps you from becoming an atheist, but it is the increasing complexity that research keeps uncovering that makes me hopeful here is a tipping point that can lead to a final decision, as I stated in my first book.
