My apologies if this is a well worn topic but I am curious -
What difference would evidence of intelligent design make? Presumably we are being asked to extrapolate from this evidence to some conclusion about the continued existence and nature of the designer or designers.
As far as I can tell the evidence for ID is compatible with a range of options, e.g.
a) one designer now dead
b) many designers working in committe now all dead
c) one designer still living
d) many designers some living some dead
e) a mad designer
f) a bad designer
g) accident which we have ex post facto concluded is evidence of design
My confusion arises because that promote ID seem to do so with a particular agenda - e.g. to establish the existence and nature of a Christian God - but ID does not do this. So why bother?
