"The focal point is that a mind is behind what we observe on earth and in the universe. It is the same as looking at car. We can look at it and say it has evolved into what it is today but instead we say that there are designers and manufacturers behind the car that we see."

Except there is overwhelming proof that someone did design that car. There is zero proof that anything designed human life. Don't cite me the bible thats not proof.

You can speculate that maybe someone started life on earth, but until you find some evidences its a belief not a theory. Your entitled to your beliefs but you aren't entitled to force it on society, which many IDers want to do. What makes you think allow teachers to espouse religious beliefs is going to be good for christianity. Most teachers are flaming liberals so for every teacher saying God did it, there will another 10 telling your kids that life on earth started from semen from a gay alien's ass.

I also love how alot of creationists switched to ID so readily but now claim that ID is true beyond any doubt, just like they were sure creationism was so true 3 years ago.

Furthermore, there is no proof that the car did evolve from lesser cars.

As opposed to people, in which case there is overwhelming proof that they have evolved from less organisms.

So what's the purpose of living? We're just a whole bunch of animals. Why have morals? There is no after-life anyway. Why have marriage? There is no conscience. Let's all live the way we want without any restrictions.

Yuck... I think what might be more likely in the near term is that ID will allow religions like Scientologists to teach about their beliefs (Lord Xenu and junk like that). It isn't science at all but a religions but if ID gets in... they can start teaching whatever they want too.

I think this will lead to unintended consequences.
