Very few things in science are directly observable. When did you last see a continent shift?
Intelligent design however certainly is observable. Just like we can see that a painting had a human maker, we can see design in the Universe. That's why atheists have to propose infinite universes in order to counter the design argument. Life too is obviously intelligently designed that is why atheists cannot even formulate a hypothesis of abiogenesis which fits scientifically known facts. Everywhere we look in science, we see design because after all if we lived in a random universe there could be no scientific laws at all.
Sigh. Apparent design does not demonstrate the existence of a designer. That is only one of any number of equally likely hypotheses that can arise in a fact-vacuum. It only demonstrates the intractable nature of your commitment to fallacies of the the excluded middle.
All present evidence absolutely supports the Copernican model of the solar system. Is that a proof that the Copernican model is primally correct: that it has actual, visceral existence behind it?
Of course it does. You are not going to make the ridiculoust statement that the Sistine Chapel ceiling is the result (or could be the result) of a bunch of paint cans falling up don't you?
That is only one of any number of equally likely hypotheses that can arise in a fact-vacuum. It only demonstrates the intractable nature of your commitment to fallacies of the the excluded middle.
Totally false. All hypothesis are not equally likely. The hypothesis that there are infinite universes for example is totally unscientific because it claims something to have happened about which we know absolutely nothing about. The claim that abiogenesis is possible is also totally unscientific and atheists cannot even formulate a hypothesis that fits the presently known scientific facts about life. So intelligent design has a very solid scientific base behind it.
