I have also never understood why there is a debate between ID and evolution or ID and the Big Bang. It seems to me that ID is 100% compatible with either of these two theories.
Welcome sleikind,
I couldn't agree more, and I never really understood the debate either. I believe an intelligent designer did indeed set the whole process of evolution in motion.
But God is spiritual and we are also spirits having been created in His image. Our spirits are contained in this shell of a physical body that developed in gradual steps according to evolutionary principles.
The problem is when ID proponents want to extend the concept into the realm of science by positioning ID as science, which it is not. Or when creationists place too much emphasis on the value of our organic "shells" instead of our spiritual nature. Their mistake is arguing against the evolution of our physical bodies, when the focus should be on the soul.
