Going down the ID path only one question remains......
Who created the creator?????????? ad infinitum......
Regardless, western civilization and science assumed design, intelligence, and a designer its only recently that science has removed design as an agent. But by removing design and intelligence, you are by definition left only with stupidity (lack of intelligence). So to counter the materialists recent question of, Who designed the designer? I would ask What caused all of your stupidity?
“Going down the ID path only one question remains......”
Yes, and ID doesn’t attempt to answer that question, but then again, evolution doesn’t attempt to answer where the first common ancestor organism came from, before all the modification, adaptation and variation happened.
Out of the “big 3” (evolution, ID, and creationism), only one actually proposes a “buck stops here” type of hypothesis.
