"Is Crick a fundamentalist? "

I'm not familiar with this 'Crick.'

"According to Panspermia, a "higher" power is not necessarily the case, is it? "

You made me look up a new word. I wouldn't call that intelligent design... Where is the intelligence? Life evolved elsewhere, then was transferred to earth... no ID required...

"There is no proof of alien life either,"

But it is very likely, and very much within the realm of sciecne.

"yet science is better-prepared to accept its existence without said proof because of probability."

Why not? At least there is a possibility? The universe is incomprehensibly huge. Chances are there is other life out there right now dreaming about us.

"Sorry, but the "dark ages" comment is a stretch."

What signalled the end of the dark ages? The enlightenment. What was the most important element of the enlightenment? Secularism, when we told religion to shut up and sit down. After that, science took off. During the dark ages when religion was the absolute authority, we barely progress at all for 1500 years. Just look at the islamic world. When the christian world had our enlightenment, the islamic world was at least as advanced as us. Since the enlightenment, we've rocketed ahead of them tenfold. Why? Secularism of course, no religion to hold back progress.

And you're the science expert?

You are correct...You really do need to look more deeply into what ID really is studying. You should save the facetiousness, IMO.

But it is very likely, and very much within the realm of sciecne.

So...aliens planted advanced life on this planet...a scientific possibility, which some of us backward-ass people decided to call God. Tell me how this makes ID not scientifically possible.

Why not? At least there is a possibility? The universe is incomprehensibly huge. Chances are there is other life out there right now dreaming about us.

lol. Chances are there is life far more advanced than the tiny human brain...even ...Godlike. It's a possibility. So science should not write either off.

That would be your opinion. Try not to hold back next time. LOL... (ps - you could not be more mistaken)
