ID is vacuous, if not tautological for the reasons I have given. Mainstream theory of evolution makes specific statements about how genomes change over time. ID makes no such statements. It says nothing about how or why genomes change over time.
We have no naturalistic explanation for the first living cell, nor are within a billion light years of one. Furthermore, mathematical analyses have demonstrated over and over beyond any reasonable doubt that it could not possibly have come about by purely naturalistic mechanisms. The only other logical possibility is intelligent design.
People like you simply close your eyes and then insist that the world is dark. Your thought process is what is “vacuous.”
