What is the evidence that ID permits, but does not require a belief in theism?
I am not aware of ANY evidence for ID whatsoever after many years looking for it and asking its advocates. That is sort of the point right.
Me. I an a religious agnostic who does not believe in a personal god. Yet I do not believe evolution is the result of "natural selection" acting upon a series of genetic accidents.
Then this is simply a further indication that what you believe is not founded upon the evidence. Quite simply, you are completely and utterly destroying your original claim that ID is not a religion.
You may not acknowledge evidence that rational intent exists as an aspect of nature, but other people observe organisms and internal organs responding intelligently and purposefully and regard those observations as evidence of the reality of purposeful intent.
It is not that I don't acknowledge it, the issue is that such evidence simply does not exist. If it did exist, I would acknowledge it.
For starters, define purposeful intent, define a metric on how we can measure purposeful intent, and explain how to apply that metric to an internal organ so that all of us skeptics can see very clearly the evidence that organs express purposeful intent as compared to some other unintelligent object such as a rock.
Doing so will put you lightyears ahead of any so-called ID advocate.
Usually I'm content to leave science to the scientists. However so long as materialists denounce anyone questioning materialism as "an ignorant creationist", I'll feel obligated to protest.
I have not called you an "ignorant creationist". You simply are advocating a faith-based belief by definition. When you communicate something that you call a "belief" that is not based on the evidence or is contray to the evidence then that is called "faith". Plain and simple. This simple fact is not controversial in my mind. It is simply a description of what you have communicated to the readers of this forum thus far.
I do not denouce people who question materialism. I would not mind taking part in a discussion about materialism. Unfortunatly for you that is not what you are bringing to the table. So far the only thing you have done is reject known reality as religion and proclaim the superiority of un-evidenced ideas which have a well documented geneology to fundamentalist Christian ideology. What they heck does any of what you have said so far have to do with materialism or the acceptance/rejection thereof?
Of course, biblical creationists are committed to belief in God's written Word, the Bible, which forbids bearing false witness; --AIG (lest they forget)
