That's all I'm saying. I also cannot disagree with DL that it is intellectually defensible to assert there is no God. I never said it wasn't. On the other hand, I also believe that one can believe in God and not be stupid. I hope you'll agree with me there. If not, well, I suppose that's your right. poi: I'm not going to argue the ins and out of ID, mainly because I do not know them. I do agree with evolution as a scientific theory (in the scientific sense of that term), but I do not believe that this precludes the existence of a God. Speaking on a personal level, I do not feel that my belief in the existence of God is "giving up and invoking the supernatural." I kind of feel like I'm spinning my wheels here a bit. I respect everyone involved in this thread, and I hope the feeling is mutual. I try not to pass judgment on anyone, and I try to maintain intellectual integrity. I'm sure some of you think I am fighting a losing battle on the latter count, but at the end of the day, I need to come to grips with my own experiences of and views on the cosmos. I try not to accept things at face value, and I ask questions without the guarantee of finding an answer. Every day I spend on this earth will be one more day spent searching for the Truth. Will I ever find it? Probably not, at least not in full. But that will not stop me from searching. Anyway, while I enjoy challenging discussions, I'm not sure if I can contribute any more to this particular thread--especially if we're actually going to talk about ID. My stance has always been that ID is not science, and if anything it should be taught in philosophy class. There may be aspects of science in ID, but once you start bringing in questions of the existence of God, you have moved into the realm of philosophy. That's pretty much all I have to say. If someone wants to address me on something specific, feel free. If not, it's been fun, but I think I'll take my leave now if you don't mind.
