[[In short, no one has yet come up with a “methodological supernaturalism” that produces repeatable or practical scientific information]]

Nor does ID have to- nor do they even attempt to contrary to all the false claims abotu ID- ID merely has to scientifically show that naturalism is not the best (or even biolgogically possible) means for IC- and all they have to do to be a valid science is give neough evidence to show that intellgience is needed- just as any forensic scientist does- their scientific obligation does not have to go any further by suggesting or showing the supernatural means- this is somethign many objectors to ID are absolutely mistaken about and which form hteir false statements against ID.

[[You may personally choose to put a subsequent theological spin on derived information, but the archive of scientific information is itself unconcerned with your theology.]]

Which ios good news for ID because hte evidence shows that the ideological assumption that Macroeovlution happened refutes hte idea altogether.

[[And the best way to express this “beef” with methodological naturalism is to propose and demonstrate a “methodological supernaturalism” that has some practical application for science.]]

No it isn’t. That is a false statement- ID isn’t about a ‘beef’, and it certainlky does not, as explained above, need to demonstrate any methodological supernaturalism- if htat were the core of science, then scientists who study Macroevolution would have to produce the methodology by wich species supernaturally violated biolgoy and natural laws- so by claiming hwat you just did, you have given an opinion about science that shows the hypothesis that youbeleive in is actually unscientific.- niether side need produce a methodolgical supernaturalism- they simply have to give neough factual science to point in one direction or the other (and further to show hte opposition hypothesis isn’t biolgically possible)

Why are you so averse to spell check? Your posts are unreadable.
