Oh wow, it's complicated, I can't imagine how it all evolved, there must be a God.

I stop people who make that argument. It is the same fallacy of the false dilemma that evolutionists make when they assume that everything must have a natural cause and therefore there is no alternative to some kind of evolution.

I have not seen enough evidence to distinguish the two theories. Therefore I argue against the religious certitude exhibited by both camps.

Except that evolutionists do not actually make that assumption.

Then speak only for yourself, and stop attacking those of us who are familiar with the evidence.

There is no "religious certitude" in scientific conclusions, which have been reached by testing hypotheses against vast mountains of evidence.

And yet, on this thread there's a total absence of your "arguing against the religious certitude" by the *other* camp, despite many posts by people expressing their confident conclusion of "God did it".

Why is that? And how far back in your posting history will we have to go to find an example of you taking someone to task for that kind of presumption?

That's the entire argument for ID. Glad to have you on our side.
