Please look at my last post to Percy and give me your opinion and advice on whether I can find a thread for interesting and civil conversation.
You could try starting a thread, so that you select the topic.
the thread on proper pursuit of id has been suggested.
Some people think the world looks as if intelligently designed. Other folk disagree. Most of us aren't really concerned about such personal and private beliefs.
The thing about ID, is that some religious groups are claiming that it is science and that it should get equal time in the science classroom. And they appeal to politics to try to enforce that. So it is inherently religious, political and anti-scientific, as discussed here. If you just want to discuss your personal beliefs, without religious or political overtones, then there might not be much of a discussion. It's hard to avoid the context of the political and religious public arguments over ID, when ID is your topic.
Or perhaps you might do better to consider starting a blog somewhere, so that you control what is discussed. You could post a link to it here (or not).
You are probably correct that this is not an appropriate site for the kind of discussion that you wanted. However, your characterization of this site is way off.
(And yes, I have been mainly lurking recently).
