OK, but I'm up early!
TM: "Show me one example of an intelligent being that isn't born from another intelligent being.
b_sharp: That's an interesting question.
If I were a creationist I would say 'God' fits that bill.
Since I'm not a creationist, I would have to agree with you that God was created by man.
The problem as posed? I would agree with you.
The observation that is being challenged though is the something from nothing premise of material science.
ID observes that nature yields no evidence of intelligence arriving from non intelligence.
ID observes that man evolved over millions of years from simple organisms AND that there is no evidence of intervention by God in man's evolution AND therefore, we should teach our children that God may be dead.
See Mr. Behe's sworn testimony.
No. ID says that man has evolved WITHOUT the assistance of an ID and that we should teach the children that God may be dead.
