Debate #9

I think my lack of opposition to Intelligent Design is due to the fact that I don't see Evolution as being particularly more valid than a properly expressed ID theory. Darwin gives people who don't want to feel beholden to any higher power the comfort of living in a universe without one, whether that's reality or not.

But the moment you say you'll chuck the explanation that invokes Him in the garbage you deny Him any chance to exist, in your world. That's what I'm getting at.

No, I'm simply disallowing the use of Him as a scientific explanation for observable phenomena.

He might still be out there. Reasonable people can disagree over whether there is a divinity, a soul, an afterlife, spirits, and so forth. Best to take it to Theology or Philosophy 101, not Biology 101.
