Re: Another attempt at agreement
Herepton, Scientists are sceptical investigators. Science constantly updates to reflect new knowledge and factual understanding.
Essentially religions seek to prove a negative ("the absence of 'x' can only mean divine intervention is at play"). This is simply a leap of faith, nurtured in the minds of those that cant think for themselves.
Science is a long journey.
Those without imagination on the other hand never evolve as all thier answers lay convieniently in an old book written by the magicians and showmen of the day.
If we follow your logic (that absence of discovery = evidence of God) science should have given up long ago when faced with an initial lack of understanding. Science continues undaunted to fill the knowledge gaps.

Re: Another attempt at agreement
Herepton said "why must design be re - explained"?
Because it is'nt science, just a opinion driven by blind faith.
Science only results following rigourous investigation and general peer agreement.
Scientists did'nt give up when they had no understanding of electricity, they kept on experimenting to get at the truth. According to ID style 'science' those early scientists might just as well have said 'electricity results from ID because we cant find all the answers yet'.
