Re: When ID Becomes Scientific
The Biblical creationist ID argument boils down to
...God did it. And that is not an answer, even if the Bible were all true and god actually exists. It still doesn't answer how and that is the important part.
Newton reached the point in his research where he could go no further and proposed and intelligent designer to solve the question of gravity. Issac Newton, one of the greatest minds to grace science, was an IDist. But that just goes to show you just how "nothing" ID is, when even if someone like Newton proposes it, it is still worthless as an answer.
There is no getting around that fact, which will forever leave ID irrelevant to any question about nature.

Re: When ID Becomes Scientific
Volumns would be required to cite all of the evidence supportive to the existence of that entity, alleged to have done it.
I'm not arguing about the evidence to support the entity, I'm talking about the evidence that shows his/her work. That is the important part.
I will give you the benifit of the doubt and say yes, there is a god and it is that of the Bible. There, no evidence required to prove him/her to me any further. God did it...all of it.
Now, how did god do it?
And I won't get greedy, I'll just ask you for one thing god did - Explain how god made an atom?
