I believe God made His universe, and me.

Personally, I don't really concern myself with the details as to how He did so. I don't believe He cares a whit about whether that even matters to me, or my views about ID, evolution, or creationism.

Furthermore, I welcome discussion about all those concepts and viewpoints, and I argue with those fundamentalists about their insistence that "you must believe in creationism" just as vehemently as I do with the Darwinians who try to suppress alternatives. Not a one of them was there, nor do any of them have perfect insight into His Word and its meaning.

Not only that, but I insist that THERE CAN BE NO PROOF that God exists or that He had a part in the "intelligent design" of the universe or the Earth and its life. If I could absolutely, positively PROVE without any room for doubt to someone that God was a necessary factor for the existence of the universe/life - that would remove an ESSENTIAL part of the "free will" that He gave us. There might be evidence for that, but there can never be absolute "proof" - nor, I predict, will there ever be absolute "proof" Darwinism is sufficient.

I believe it is very important for both sides of this discussion to be powerfully advocated. I enjoy seeing the evidence on both sides, just as I enjoy evidence regarding "cosmic super strings", or "gluons and glueballs", etc., that also will not play any part in my salvation, but are nevertheless part of this wonderful "playground" that God made for me and you.

For this reason, I view this subject as one that is worthy of debate and discussion and research, but I neither expect definitive results, nor do I fear the discussion.
