"Creative intelligence, some scientists admit, is not derivable from matter and naturalistic processes, so it contains an element of the supernatural."

LOL! One of the sillier sentences I've seen in some time... For purposes of intellectual honesty, "admit" should be changed to "claim".

Presuming your story is true, what prevented these unnamed "scientists" from deciding that they just didn't have enough information (and/or a testable theory) to make a pronouncement on whether or not "creative intelligence is derivable from matter and naturalistic processes"? "I don't know" is a perfectly valid scientific statement...and far more believable than "I don't understand that, therefore it 'contains an element of the supernatural'".

perhaps you need to read my post again - slowly - your response is a non-response/

I guess you believe science must be self-consistent? IT must not contradict itself.

Can you agree with that? (watch out it may be a trick)
