Critical home- grown thinking.

That doesn't count. Peer review is the essence of science, and one may not indulge in the same unless 21 years old or older.

In any case, you don't see me casting myself as an objective observer, do you?

Because you aren't, are you?

Meyer's proposes that the proof of ID lies in the fact that we have no other way to explain the processes.

So let me get this straight. Meyer doesn't believe in Evolution, so some "Intelligent Agent" (not God) must have done it.

Ok.

So where did the Intelligent Agent come from?

None of us are. Some of us are honest enough to admit it. Some aren't.

Much easier to believe than evolution.

Here is an article critical of the Scientific Method. It deals with controversy in the scientific community. I will say it was a very difficult read, and I still don’t really understand what the posted work meant.
I will say that I have never read an article in a religious publication that cast doubt on the Creation by Word theory.

Interesting point, but you realized that NO life in any form existed until only a billion years ago. The first few billion were spent just getting the proper conditions for life to evolve (changing the atmosphere from a reducing one to an oxidizing one, etc.). Seems the time for such an amazing process to occur was shorter than you may think. I agree with your tagline, though. God could have used evolution and a process to create life as it is but I absolutely believe that man was made in God's image and so I don't know about the evolution from apes part.

I've surfed around the web for some evidence of "Intelligent Design." I can't find it.

You monitor is showing static? Even the blue screen of death is evidence of intelligent design. If there were no such thing as intelligent design you wouldn't have a brain and eyeballs to look at things and figure them out.

Does he do astrophysics and analytical chemistry too, or does he limit himself to the life sciences?

Probably – the stars are mere points of light in the Heavens.

Trillions of simultaneous processes over an entire planet for billions of years . . .

Nice story. Best of all you can tell it any way you want.

What, exactly is meant by "man was made in God's image"?

I honestly don't know of anyone who uses Darwin's theory to explain how life came about except creationists. Have you honestly ever read Origin of Species?

Anyone who adheres to the notion of speciation is talking about how life came about. Most evolutionists believe in speciation and common ancestry are being dishonest if they claim they are not talking about how life came about. That's why many on FR talk about the "ultimate" origin of life to avoid the appearance of intellectual dishonesty.

I'm a religious person who has absolutely no problems with the theory of evolution, and I can assure you that I'm in no particular state of panic.

Man did not evolve from the ape. The are on different branches of the evolutionary tree.

I've dealt with when confronted with the immense numbers of protein-protein interactions that much occur in exact fashion, for example, hint at the impossibility that life could evolve to it's present form over millions of years by chance.

Millions? How about billions – about 2.5 billion years? Did you cut a few classes?

I'm a spiratual person who has absolutely no problems with spirituality, and I can assure you that I'm in no particular state of panic. I do have a problem with a lot of "religions" ...

And Yoda is your English teacher.

LOL! Thanks for that little barb. I needed a good chuckle. I do posess a sense of humor, and I tend to garble thoughts when I type something out and then attempt to revise it for clarity.

However, my point is that the story reveals that rather than engage in honest discussion about Dr. Meyer's arguement, the evolutionist community brands his ideas as "substandard science" and calls it "recycled material quite common in the intelligent design community". The statement "tottering house of ideological cards that is more about cherished mythology than honest intellectual endeavor" is backed up by the facts given in the full article. He is dismissed as a heretic, with no facts given to disprove his theory. He has been burned at the scientific stake for blasphemy.
