Furthermore, are YOU saying one can only be a “fundamentalist” to accept ID as a scientific theory?

Careful. "Scientific Theory" means nearly the opposite of how it is used outside of science.

There is no way that ID could be classified as a scientific theory. At best, it's a philosophy about something regarding science.

"It looks pretty fancy, so it must be designed" is not how we reach scientific conclusions.

Has anyone touched on the idea that trying to PROVE God seems to show an obvious lack of FAITH?

Well, there you go!

I saw an interesting story about a scientist and his scientist wife that went out to scientifically disprove God’s existence and only came away believers.

Now of course, all his (and his wife’s) data, are conveniently dismissed by the liberal elite with a chokehold on academia defined “science”. I guess they were good little scientists before they...strayed.

CAREFUL INDEED!

BTW...I’m a nurse, I use science all day long, make a living at it. But I don’t let it define who I am either, or confine my understanding of the world around me.

I’m for evolution, ID and purple monsters creating all we know. I also believe human beings collectively are intelligent enough to think for themselves, make informed decisions DESPITE people like algore telling us “there’s no debate”, OR “the scientific evidence is clear”...etc. etc. etc.

algore isn’t how we reach understanding either! Neither are liberal elites with big fancy letters behind their names!

Fancy, plain, there’s no scientific proof it was UNdisigned either, so what’s the harm in exploration and discussion?

Imagine all the things we’d have missed out on science had we been told: “the world was flat, you’ll fall off, that’s that, so says the state (or algore)!”

And yes, if a witch doctor rubbed some weed on my skin and it improved, I’m all for that too!

Careful?

I think of Chuck Yeager throwing care literally to the wind!
