There are holes in the evolutionary theory. Period. While remaining a theory, other avenues should be explored, one of which is intelligent design. Those choosing to explore this avenue should not be belittled because they are thinking out of the "scientific" box.

.Just because the theory of evolution has holes it cannot be rejected. Consider it incomplete, like many other scientific theories.

Intelligent Design is a fancy way of saying, “Gee, I don’t understand. It must be magic.” It is not “out of the box”, it rejects the basic tenets of science and replaces them with the supernatural

“I don’t understand, therefore, He Is.” is not science. It's magic.

(I’m not hostile to anyone who wants to explore I.D., just don’t call it science.)

It doesn't have to be rejected. But evidence shouldn't be studied as a means to an end. Otherwise, the evidence will lead in the direction presupposed every time.

Intelligent Design is a fancy way of saying, “Gee, I don’t understand. It must be magic.”

That statement is exactly the condescending attitude I'm referring to. Maybe it's not that they don't understand it. Maybe because of the holes they simply CHOOSE to reject it, or simply explore other areas. Maybe in their minds ID makes more sense than evolution. If they have the same credentials it makes them no less intelligent!

One of the biggest obtacles for me in embracing evolution is that it presumes the appearance of a so called "simple cell". If one were to magnify the simplest organism able to be called life to about 1 mile large, they would find it more complicated then a large city. Information scientists are the ones causing the biggest hurdles for evolutionists to overcome. One could say in the beginning there was information. information implies intelligence. Although we should endeavor to find naturalistic expanations.
