Then you have no idea what he actually wrote in "The Critique of Pure
Reason"

I didn't realize that they had published any philosophical papers. Can you
reference any?

It's clear at this point that you are posting to a philosophy newsgroup and
have no idea who Immanuel Kant is. Hang your head in shame.

One that I found interesting is the fact that most liquids, when they
freeze, are heavier than their liquid forms and so would sink to the bottom
when frozen. One notable exception is water, which gets lighter when frozen
and so floats on the top of the liquid form -- a quality that is totally
necessary for -- at least -- aquatic life.

Yes, it could happen at random and if it hadn't we just wouldn't have
aquatic life ... but it is an empirical result that appears designed.

The problem is that you do not need to point at the Bible to hold the
argument.
