I'll readily admit that I can't prove God scientifically, but then again, I can't scientifically prove that I love my dog.

Maybe not, but at least you could present evidence (which clearly distinguishes your example from that guy's "5th dimension spiritual world of God"). You exist, and your dog exists, and one could observe the two of you long enough to accept your claim. That's not proof as in geometry, but it's sufficient verifiable evidence to accept your claim -- at least provisionally. You could be faking it, and maybe you'll kill your dog because you don't love it at all, but that too will be observable and verifiable, and it will contradict your earlier claim that you love the dog. Observation. Verifiable facts. The basis of all science. That guy's that guy's "5th dimension spiritual world of God" is utterly beyond the scope of scientific inquiry, yet he claims: "And please pardon some of us if we can "see" that HIS "proof" of 'Intelligent Design' is clearly and overwhelmingly evident..." Why do we have to beat this thing to death? His post was pure mumbo-jumbo, and I'm confident that you understand this.

I don't think it was mumbo-jumbo, although he should have qualified his remarks as I have done for him. Science is great, you're great, I'm great, everyone is great. I don't see what the big fuss is about. I'm a theist and have no problem with much of what evolutionary biology says.
