Thank you so much for your post! Indeed, much of the scientific progress over these many years was made under the axiom of Creation.

I was trying to support such a view by illustrating how the scientists' argument that "saying 'God did it' will bring scientific research to a halt" is specious.

To make the point, I observed that scientists tend to bucket bizarre observations under the anthropic principle - bringing research to a halt on their own, just shy of saying God did it. There is no substantive difference in my view.

The Intelligent Design movement wouldn't stop research, it would encourage new research - particularly with regard to information theory and mathematics.

True, and we may as well mention that evolutionists say that 'natural selection did it'. This is even worse that saying that 'God did it' because natural selection can only destroy, it cannot create as God can. The other replacement for God which evolutionists/materialists use is random chance. This of course is totally unscientific and destroys scientific inquiry because science is all about finding order in nature. Luckily scientists have not paid attention to this nonsense and continue looking for and discovering the order in nature.
