I teach concepts of evolution right alongside concepts of ID with PhD scientists sitting in my class who have no problem with that so far. So far nobody, and I mean nobody, has come with any any logical rationale for why ID is not both rational and plausible or that it is in any way in conflict with the Theory of Evolution.
Perhaps you are the one who will finally show us the error in that.
Intelligent design demands proof that there is a designer.
Please produce that proof.
Fiction demands a willing suspension of disbelief. If your theory demands the same thing, this should define what you are putting forth.
Sure. Just as you prove that nothing was created from nothing. Or if it is not true that nothing was created from nothing, please prove that. Or if you think there was stuff that existed in the universe prior to the big bang, please prove that.
Or if you saw your shadow this morning, would you please prove that you observed your shadow this morning?
Or perhaps we could agree that there are things that are observable, or that are reasonable to conclude, that do not require ability to prove them in order to rationally know that they exist.
And anyway, if we go with Spinoza's 'god', the same adopted by Einstein, the intelligence that both observed did not preclude a being but rather an intelligence that exists within the whole.
