John Paul:
This is a philosophical issue- one in which we may never get an answer. I don't deny God Created life on Earth, I just say that God isn't necessarily the only intelligent agent that could have done so. ID does not mention God, only ID critics do.
But what do YOU think, JP?

Mark24:
So it comes down to a God, that has no origin, & has existed forever, & to which IC doesn’t apply.
John Paul:
It is my understanding that God, by definition, is the un-Created Creator of the Universe. So your statement would be true.
So who is the designer? Who designed the designer?

Mark24:
Last (small) point, you clearly are NOT focussed on life on earth, you have mentioned Klingons, alien seeding, alien colonization, super intelligent 4th dimensional design for the 3rd dimension, most of which is in the same paragraph that you claim to be focussed on life on earth.
John Paul:
I guess that is what happens when I try to answer questions for 5-year olds. All of the things you mentioned were possiblities of an intelligent agent that may have brought life to Earth.
Ah, yes, the good old JP. I wondered how long you could last.
