Topic has nothing to do with intelligent design
As I see it, message 1 contains nothing to do with intelligent design.
What is the point you're proposing to debate here? To me, it looks like what we call a "drive by preaching", about reincarnation.
You have a lot of unsupported assertions about hard to believe happenings. We need some references, preferably from on-line sources, to back up these assertions.
Also, please try to break messages into paragraphs, with a blank line between the paragraphs.

Re: Topic has nothing to do with intelligent design
I think I am willing to spin-off message 3 to become message 1 of a new topic, but I do think the topic needs a better title, as (in my opinion of course) any connection to "intelligent design" is pretty minor.
How about the topic title "Hinduism and Reincarnation" as the new topic title?
I think this topic should go into the "Comparative Religions" forum.

Ditch the "statues drinking milk" part
I have received an e-mail from a member, who states:
I'd just thought you know before you promote that topic that the miracle concerning statues drinking milk was a result of a scandle involving one of their priests that messed with all the statues. A naturally occuring phenomana was responsible for the "miracle".
This item seems pretty marginal to the central theme of reincarnation anyway. I suggest deleting it and the relevant reference from your content.
I guess the rest of your message 3 is OK, but since you're being called to do a rewrite anyway, you might look at some rewriting of the content that stays.
Please submit the new version as a reply to this message. I will change the topic title to "Hinduism and Reincarnation" if and when the topic is promoted.

OK, I'll reluctantly promote this topic
Per Quetzal's suggestion.
Going to change the title to "Hinduism and Reincarnation" and release the whole thing, not just an individual message.
