In the last sentence of my last UD post I wrote: “A microbe did not mysteriously mutate into Mozart and his music, and most people, thankfully, are smart enough to figure out that this is a silly idea.”
In a comment I asked: “Is the ‘m’ alliteration in the last sentence of my post by design or by chance? Did you detect it? Explain.”
In a follow-up comment I challenged: “Had I written, ‘A microbe did not mysteriously mutate into Mozart and his music, and most people, mercifully, are much too smart to swallow this silly idea,’ would you have detected alliterative design? How many alliterative M’s would it take to make design an obvious, slam-dunk conclusion? Explain.”
No one commented on this, and I’d be interested in your thoughts. My bottom-line thesis is that design can be objectively detected, and that it’s not all that difficult.
If a few alliterative M’s can spark a conclusive design inference, what about nature and living systems? I propose that the only reason for denying design in nature is that it would make some people philosophically uncomfortable. They should just feel uncomfortable and get used to it.
So, how about my challenge? I got eight alliterative M’s in one meaningful sentence. Who can beat me?
