It would interest me, however, why you struggle so against people who devote their lives to unraveling those natural processes.

See #462, paragraph 1. You must be mistaking me for someone else. All my life I have given respect to the work of scientists who truthfully seek out the workings of the universe. As documented in #104, some of the very best have made marvelous scientific contributions without the slightest reference or thought about evolution as a mechanism characterized by "nothingness" and "chance."

Have you heard me pushing for the abolition of evolutionist teaching from the classroom? If so where? If not, why do you accuse me of struggling against those who devote their lives to unraveling natural processes?

It would interest me, however, as to why you struggle so to avoid the obvious, namely that the sheer magnitude of intelligence and design exhibited throughout the universe implies a source or agent(s) other than "nothingness" and chance."

I have no problem with speculating about the source of existence. I have no problem with people who believe they have found that source.

But science is the business of building theories about how the structures you are so impressed with have come about through natural processes. Natural processes are not the same thing as nothingness and chance.
