Are you suggesting that the existence of God will be established via the use scientific methods?

ID is religion using science to search for God in order to support religious beliefs, and what it boils down to as a "theory" is that whatever can't be explained to the full satisfaction of the religious community at this time via available technology, must point to the actions of a Greater power A.K.A. the Biblical God, and His Creation.

But raising questions does not make for proof, and that's what ID is trying to attempt to do. Market questions as conclusions.

The Church took the same position on the question of whether the Earth was flat or not, and whether it revolved around the Sun or the Sun around the Earth.

Eventually, technology caught up with the question, and the Church was forced to admit that it was wrong.

The unchanging Bible has never had these two issues wrong, unless you want to claim a scientist who says the sun rose this morning believes the sun revolves around the earth.

Isa 40:22 [It is] he that sitteth upon the circle of the earth, and the inhabitants thereof [are] as grasshoppers; that stretcheth out the heavens as a curtain, and spreadeth them out as a tent to dwell in:

Don't tell me you think it is saying the earth is a pancake. How do we get billions of light years between galaxies in a no time? We have a Creator that stretches it across the universe like a painter puts paint on a canvas.
