Intelligent Design is on the borderline between theory and law.
Your response demonstrates that you do not understand science, and that you are arguing from a largely religious orientation.
That's fine, but don't confuse what you are doing with science. And don't try to tell scientists how to do science unless you have gone to the trouble to learn some real science.
Hint: You will not learn science from creationist pamphlets and websites.
As for PH, you may not be hearing from him at all. Did you notice his tagline? It reads: (Virtual Ignore for trolls, lunatics, dotards, scolds, & incurable ignoramuses.)
So true.
I'll admit I'm not a scientist. Most of my education comes from sites like FR and others.

So, is it really a bot like they have on Internet Relay Chat (IRC), or is he a live person? I've never seen him/her respond to a post addressed to him/her and wondered why. OK, if he/she doesn't want to respond he/she doesn't have to.
Thanks for responding. I like this thread, you know. There was another one last night in which I made some intelligent posts but was partly ignored.
You sure are NO bot.
There is a just God who presides over the destinies of nations; and who will raise up friends to fight our battle for us. The battle, sir, is not to the strong alone; it is to the vigilant, the active, the brave... Is life so dear, or peace so sweet, as to be purchased at the price of chains and slavery? Forbid it, Almighty God! I know not what course others may take; but as for me, give me liberty or give me death!´´
--Patrick Henry
"I know, sir, how well it becomes a liberal man and a Christian to forget and forgive. As individuals professing a holy religion, it is our bounden duty to forgive injuries done us as individuals. But when the character of Christian you add the character of patriot, you are in a different situation. Our mild and holy system of religion inculcates an admirable maxim of forbearance. If your enemy smite one cheek, turn the other to him. But you must stop there. You cannot apply this to your country. As members of a social community, this maxim does not apply to you. When you consider injuries done to your country your political duty tells you of vengeance. Forgive as a private man, but never forgive public injuries. Observations of this nature are exceedingly unpleasant, but it is my duty to use them."
--Patrick Henry
"Bad men cannot make good citizens. It is impossible that a nation of infidels or idolaters should be a nation of free men. It is when a people forget God that tyrants forge their chains. A vitiated state of morals, a corrupted public conscience, are incompatible with freedom."
--Patrick Henry
Sir, we are not weak, if we make a proper use of those means which the God of nature hath placed in our power.
--Patrick Henry
There is a just God who presides over the destinies of Nations, and who will raise up friends to fight our battles for us. The battle, Sir, is not to the strong alone. It is to the vigilant, the active, the brave. Besides, Sir, we have no election. If we were base enough to desire it, it is now too late to retire from the contest. There is no retreat but in submission and slavery! Our chains are forged! Their clanking may be heard on the plains of Boston! The war is inevitable. and let it come! I repeat, Sir, let it come!
--Patrick Henry
Ahem...
I believe THIS is the Patrick Henry I know.
