“Because there is no scientific basis for ID of any kind. And Intelligent Designer is pretty much the same as God from an objective perspective.”
I’m walking along the beach and see a pattern in the sand. It’s a stylized heart with an arrow through it, with the words “Bobby loves Sue.” This could be the result of movement of the surf over the beach. But I infer that it is the work of an intelligent designer. Contrary to your assertion, I don’t think the designer is God. Your response, I take it, is that my inference has “no scientific basis (for ID) of any kind.” If you’re right, that is a shortfall of science.
“Contrary to your assertion, I don’t think the designer is God.”
Two questions:
1. In a more relevant example of ID than that which you presented, who IS the designer?
2. What do you do with the answer to question 1.?
I do not believe you.
