"I accept Christ based upon spiritual faith. Has it been proven that Christ was the son of God? No.

I accept God as an article of spiritual faith. Has it been proven that God exists? No.

Science is not about faith, it is about empricial observations. You're having trouble with that concept."


How refreshing! Someone who gets it and whose faith is NOT threatened by science!

You could go further. If you accept the Discovery Institutes mission statement to replace secular materialism with faith based science then you have to ask the question, "What could be more secular and materialist than using empirical observations of physical phenomena to infer the existence of God."

In the guise of de-secularizing science by inserting ID into the science curriculum the IDers are in fact secularizing religion, in the process diminishing the central importance of faith.

To insist on proof is an indication of a loss of faith and to insist on scientific proof of the existence of God is a form of blasphemy.

It don't think that's what IDers intended by this silly bit of shenanigans but then they aren't the sharpest knives in the drawer both scientifically and theologically.
