Science also demands belief in the untestable.

Apparently not or they would not reject ID.


Yes, I realize science is attempting to test the untestable all of the time. The only way science can do it is by allowing for faith in itself, including its many unprovables.


Science seems to have faith in itself to disprove ID as repackaged creationism according to some. Scientists can continue their studies of our surroundings and still acknowledge that the design of our surroundings are quite intelligent indeed, don't you think? I find it difficult to accept that my thoughts, ideas and opinions are generated by basic responses to my environment and when my body ceases to function ' I ' simply cease to exist.

Just because "they" can not see it, doesn't make it true. That nasty pride business seems to be the insurmountable obstacle.

Those leaping to the repackaged creation argument show little real faith in science. Throwing up ones hands & saying there is no way to observe or test, which they would need in order to disprove ID is like trying to place limits on the playing field, while blaming the limits on the other team.

I agree! I believe the entire package is far more expansive than what much of science is allowing itself to perceive.

I find it difficult to accept that my thoughts, ideas and opinions are generated by basic responses to my environment and when my body ceases to function ' I ' simply cease to exist.

Again, I agree!
