So, you are saying that God is an invention of (the religious discipline of) faith?

It certainly seems that way. However, this leads to a chicken-egg dilemma. Which came first, religion or the faith necessary to sustain religion?

I reject the premise that ID is non-science.

I reject the notion that your post has anything to do with the debate at hand. We are discussing intelligent design, not bible plausibility. I also propose that you have an itchy trigger finger when it comes to the embolden and italicize HTML tags.

That is fair. The existence of God does not follow from religion. It is, rather, the reverse. This means that God needs to be considered cosmoligically, not merely religiously.
