His sworn testimony in the Dover trial is that ID requires no physical evidence at all.

I'm paraphrasing Behe from the trial.

Why would natural selection have no goal? Didn't it result in us? Isn't this the point of ID?

I think Alamo Girl has some interesting ideas about evolution creating intelligence. I'm not going to speak for her because I'm not sure I always understand what she's saying.

Genesis says that God created us in his image. Maybe the goal of evolution is intelligent beings who reach out and receive the Word of God.

This isn't science, but I think the root causes of the universe will always be beyond science.

My experience is that many scientists think this. Engineers are sure it's true.
