Let's imagine an ID universe. Where, exactly, would rationality fit in? If your Faith says that disease is sent by a god to afflict the insufficiently devoted, and science says "wait a minute", there are germs, where do you stand? If Faith says the earth and Atlantanisans are the center of the universe, where would you step in to say, "wait a minute"?
