Hi marc,
How would any study of ID be affected if the designer was;
*The Christian God
*The Flying Spaghetti Monster
*Allah
*Spacemen from another planet
*Any other idea
Well, I note that the first three are essentially the same possibility three times; a supernatural deity. Also, numbers 1 and 3 are actually
the same god. So they wouldn't differ much on account of
being the same.
Certainly all three would have a huge effect upon ID, as they would all open the doors to the supernatural.
In the case of the FSM, we would see a very profound change. The FSM is an entity that we know is imagined. It was thought up by a bloke named Bobby Henderson as a satirical joke in 2005. That this could seem to be the case even whilst the FSM was found to be real would have profound effects on all science; we would have discovered that Bobby Henderson is a prophet who can divine the truth about the universe merely by thinking up silly jokes.
On the other hand, if the spacemen theory were true, it would both close off the possibility of magical effects and rule in the usefulness of space research in the search for the origins of life.
You've had quite a lot of replies for a question that evolutionists don't want to answer haven't you?
