I would look at it as that IDers look that there can be a reconciliation in the spiritual and the scientific and those items can be bridged by further understanding of science and religion, not stuck into 17th century thinking of both.

So ID is NewAge Mysticism? I thought that died out 20 years ago.

Darwinism (read: evolution) and intelligent design are entirely compatible.

Show your neighborhood evolutionist Genesis 1:27 and point to him/her the word "created".

I love the term "Darwinists" that ID kooks use to describe scientists who propound a legitimate scientific theory. What next..physicists and Chemists are "Newtonists", "Bohrists" and "Faradayists"

Biogenesis is only another concept like Evolution, and others....they actually don't explain anything and serve the same purpose as theories. The fact that one life form makes another still doesn't explain the beginning of new life....

"It should be noted anything divine cannot be "proven" since it cannot be tested nor queried. Whereas possible avenues of abiogenesis can be scientifically explained and tested."

****** It's not proven because man does not have the knowledge nor capability to prove it. It's like a primitive trying to prove that computers exist in the civilized world.........with only his words and primitive tools.....

IDers insist on making the two fully compatible -- whatever nonsense it takes

Nope. Typical strawman.

IDers would suggest that the two are not incompatible, I suppose, but from a purely scientific perspective there is no need to invoke the Bible at all... Unless, of course, there are motives other than science at play.

The advocates of "Intelligent Design" are ignorant, dshonest, or both.

Now, now. I support Intelligent Design. I am ignorant (on things in general, not anything specific), but not dishonest. Geez, get it right, will you?:)

Actually I was wondering why transitional species are all
fossilized that there are few examples ,microbes being one,
of present day transitional species.

How about the Higgs Particle? How about the duality of an electron, going from point A to point B, but never in between?

ID isn't a 'Christian' or 'Evolution' argument, it is an openness to questions. One of those questions is Why?, why are we here, how are we here?

There is one consistent thing in science (and religion), what we know as fact today will change tomorrow.

Evolution has never been proven. Also, Darwinism is contrary to Creation which is how we got here. The term "intelligent design" is a fancy term for creation. The earlier creations were destroyed by extinction not evolving. A God that created a universe from nothing, can certainly create life from nothing.....it's easy....

Paleyists don't like to be referred to as "ID kooks"

You're just wrong. And I defy you to prove otherwise.

Evolution is about the origin of species, a completely different concept than the origin of life.

If it's not a science, then scientists has no basis for determing whether or not it's nonsense. By that reasoning, art, poetry, music, emotions, society, are all nonesense. You can measure wavelenghts of light, analyze pigments chemical content and determine how the paint was put on the canvas, and it doesn't tell you a thing about what art is really all about. How limited.

DNA studies show that some genes don't mutate for several generations while others mutate much more frequently. I think secularist must belong in the latter group as they seem to think they're smarter than God.

Anyway, some of the most famous scientist believed in Creationism; Lord Kelvin and Newton among them.
