Re: a scientific approach to the intelligent design issue:
quote:
The athiest chooses to ignore a potential. Accepting your digging through somthing designed by somthing intelligent means you look alot deeper than if you believe the forces are random and were not directed and designed to operate with the properties it has for a purpose. Key word: purpose. If you explore all of an items properties, Yet dont ask Why would it exist, and for what "purpose"; Then you can miss a ton of stuff you might actually find IF you asked the question. But there is no reason to ask the question if you are an athiest and believe God an impossability.
This statement is a misrepresentation of what most atheists believe and in my experience as a lurker around here what most of the creationists here say.
Most of us don't believe God is an impossibility any more than we believe that Brahma or, as previously mentioned, "the Flying Spaghetti Monster" are an impossibility. There just isn't any evidence pointing to the existence of such beings. Believing in them in the absence of evidence is no different that believing in monsters under your bed.
Provide evidence that a god being exists and you would likely find that many former atheists are pretty devout.
