Ok, for sake of argument ( and I don't agree with you on this point ) I'll stipulate that 'nothing happens' when chemists conduct experiments.
How is this evidence that aboigenesis is IMPOSSIBLE ?
Does this mean we're made by *magic* because we haven't created bacteria in a test tube ?
Does this mean Volcanoes are supernatural - or Intellegently designed
since no Geologist has made a volcano on his desktop with his pet-rock and a zippo ?
Or does it mean we still have much to learn and much room to explore ?
Materialistic Naturalism has uncovered an enormous amount of previously unknown phenomena, mechanisms and explanations in the past 150 years, its absurd to give up on it because its philisophically convenient for your particular religious view. Why have you imposed this 'deadline' on science - that since it hasn't answered all biological questions by March 15, 2002 - then no Naturalistic answers are possible ? Are you sure we can't wait a day or two before we send the scientists home to farm mushrooms ?
Add to this the -FACT- that your religious view is quite an unsatisfactory and insufficient explanation to the rest of us.
We all aren't blessed with your level of naivete. We need a more convincing reason to abandon science.
...and ID is just THAT: The abandonment of serious scientific inquiry.
Regards,
jeff

Saddly enough, this was the most substantive and accurate post that John Paul has shared with us in the past 2 years. It also explains his activities when the rest of us were awake and learning in science class.
Well JP, shall we conclude that you have no suggestion as to HOW science would include the supernatural in its explanations ?
Sorry to wake you during your most productive hours.
