"1) Intelligent Design is not creationism. "

Agreed. However, one must ask why an intelligent designer would design us and then leave us with no contact. I suppose there are a number of possible reasons for lack of contact and there are a number of possible designers for which various groups can claim contact. There is One in my opinion that stands out among all others as having had contact and communicated with us.

"2) Evolution is not a scientific law; it's a mere hypothesis."

This I agree with wholeheartedly, it is neither law, fact, nor theory (the way theory is now used). It is hypothesis, and in my opinion a hypothesis that has been adequately falsified by the fossil record.

Substantiate this claim, retract it, or admit that you're lying again.

That's because, as you have demonstrated countless times on this thread, you have an incredible amount of ignorance and misinformation about what the fossil record is really like. Frankly, I'm getting tired of you arrogantly repeating nonsense. You're like a liberal fan of Michasel Moore.

Because we are supposed to grow and focus on each other in this realm, God doesn't want blind automatons obsessed with Him.
While we're alive if contact with God was a constant given, we wouldn't strive and push ourselves nearly so much.
Nor would we cling and crave the contact of fellow humans so dearly.
I think it's much more interesting this way.

" Evolution is not a scientific law; it's a mere hypothesis."

Evolution is an hypothesis, or theory, about natural history, but there is no way to properly classify it as "science" any more than an explanation the causes of the Civil War can be described as "science."

---though, on this site, I'm sure that there are many who believe they have the "War of Northern Aggression" down to a pretty exact "science!"
