"If you think that I am IDer because I believe that God laid out all the rules for the physical universe and life at the moment of the Big Bang, then so be it. I am IDer in that context. I am and IDer in that context if and only if the concept includes God was "hands off" from that moment."
Then I'd say you're an IDer alright. I just don't understand why you think it was "hands off" after the Big Bang.
By the way, I'm sorry for my rudeness last night. I tend to get that way sometimes in retaliation when I feel that evolutionists are being arrogant and unreasonable with IDers. But rudeness is just as wrong for me as it is for them. I just wish I could remember to reply politely regardless of how I feel I am being treated.
Your apology is accepted, sir. I was not offended.
I just don't understand why you think it was "hands off" after the Big Bang.
Because that is the way I would do it if I were God. As I explained in another posting, I would rather spend my time fishing then dealing with ongoing project issues that I could have solved with omniscience and omnipotence.
