That is the danger of beginning with a false premise.

What false premise?

The complexity of spontaneous biological replication is impossible.

What, specifically, do you mean by "spontaneous biological replication", and why is it impossible?

Then the insuperability of thermodynamics makes me open to other explanations.

How does thermodynamics present an impediment?

Not to be a spoilsport, but it does look rather like the original point that no real evidence has been brought out as support for ID remains unchallenged.

I refer to spontaneous generation or abiogenisis. It is obviously impossible. National Geographic specials notwithstanding.
ThermodynamicsRefers to the principle of increasing chaos. Chaos is evident in the biosphere if you examine the extinction rate vs the emergence of new species. Your point that ID should be left out of the public education in this country is correct. Searching for an understanding of the universe and our place in it goes on in spite of all the crap I learned in high school...(Paul Simon).
