Anyone who, as a child, marveled at the sky full of stars on a clear, dark night and concluded intuitively that there is more to the heavens than one can see is an intellectual heir to the great thinkers of the Western World

One can easily conclude from reason alone that there is intelligent design in the universe.

One can "intuitively conclude" (a contradiction in terms) or one can "conclude from reason alone."

Covered all our bases here. Between these two extremes one can "conclude" anything. All without any evidence! Amazing.

My favorite is "Let the students decide what they will be taught".
