No, but your jump from organized matter to Intelligent Designer is.

No, it isn't just a *feeling.* It is a reasonable inference, and it is well within the bounds of science to make such an inference. Now, if you want to declare that it is outside the realm of science to explore matters related to intelligence and how they relate to design, that's fine with me. But I am not the one to tell science what it can or cannot do.

"No, it isn't just a *feeling.* It is a reasonable inference, and it is well within the bounds of science to make such an inference."

But if there is no way to TEST this inference, then it isn't scientific. And by your own admission, EVERY presently known fact and EVERY conceivable fact is evidence for your theory. The whole point about testing something is that it has a chance of being wrong. Your feeling has no way of every being wrong, even hypothetically. It cannot be tested. It's worthless, scientifically.

"Now, if you want to declare that it is outside the realm of science to explore matters related to intelligence and how they relate to design, that's fine with me."

I don't, and I have never said I did.

"But I am not the one to tell science what it can or cannot do."

On that we have finally reached agreement. :)
