All animals have their own unique "creative, intelligent and relational natures," and this is evidence that behavior and intelligence are evolved characteristics which serve an adaptive function, as the specific intelligent and instinctual traits which are most favorable and iminicable to their survival are the ones which have won out. Our own mental and social structures have enable us to adapt to a wide variety of circumstances.

Why don't IDers ask themselves this: wouldn't the "intelligence" involved in the "design" of life have to evolved somehow, and if not, what designed the designer. Was Yahweh designed by Zeus, who in turn, was designed by Odin? Why can't they ever tell us who this designer is, or what its nature is, without resorting to the Bible or the Koran, or any number of other pre-scientific texts?

God calls Himself the "I AM". Yahweh. Jesus called Himself the "I AM" many times in the Book of John.

"I AM" implies inhabiting eternity. Outside of time.

For the Bible to describe God as inhabiting eternity prior to modern science's discovery that time is a physical property, lends much credence to those goat herders bead on the truth.

The prophetic record of the Bible convinces many, including Newton, that the God of the Holy Bible's ability to know the future clenches His ability to say that there is no other God besides Him.

Isa 57:15 For thus saith the high and lofty One that inhabiteth eternity,...

1Cr 8:4 ...and that [there is] none other God but one.
