but unlike Naturalism, our presuppositions are based on a foundation of irrefutable facts that correspond to objects in reality.
How so? It seems that the vast majority proponents of ID are Christians, followers of a religion that we all know to be false. I haven't heard any IDer give the proper glory and respect to Odin the Allfather, so I don't see how ID can be base on "a foundation of irrefutable facts".

Re: Herep, you gotta give a link
Also, you evos assert birds descended from dinosaurs. This is
counter-intuitive: very large animals (dinosaurs) evolving into
predominantly small animals (birds) = nonsense.
This statement = a display of your lack of knowledge about evolution and dinosaurs.
​
1. Not all dinos were big, there were many small species.
2. Large size is not always a good thing. A large body requires large amounts of food. If an enivroment changes so that there is less food available then the larger species are going to have a tough time suviving. The amount of available food is a selection factor, the smaller the species the better chance it has (in this case) of surviving and passing on its genes.
