ID, and all of the ICR's work, starts with a pre-defined conclusion: God did it.

And this is inferior to the a priori "God didn't do it," just how?

Ping me when you get an answer. I’d love to see that one.

Science doesn't say "God didn't do it." Most scientists are religious, even Darwin was religious when he developed his theory. Those scientists are trying to discover God's creation.

The only thing science rules out is miracles because it is based on evidence, and miracles require no evidence. Plus, science has its limits. It can only discover what is within the system, or it wouldn't make any sense. A designer doesn't fit because a designer is outside of the system. It's like a mouse locked in a box in a lab theorizing about the CEO of the company. There is no evidence of the CEO or of his nature, so anything in that area must be on faith, not science.

It's fine if you want to believe there is a designer. There's nothing wrong with that, and science would be going outside of its area to try to disprove that. What's wrong is equating that belief with science.
