Question to Syamsu
Syamsu,
Maybe you have answered this elsewhere, but if you could humor me? I would like to know what makes your god real and everyone else's god(s) a myth, a joke, etc? Since I think the one requirement that is shared by every group of people with different deities is a little thing called faith and alot short on proof. In the end, you will believe and have faith in whatever you like.

Re: Natural / Supernatural
Did Darwin have to explain where that first cell came from in order to put forth his theory? No.
I'm going to jump in and reiterate what I've seen posted many times on the forum evolution does not equal "where that first cell came from". So, there is a pretty obvious difference between ToE and ID.
1) ID, has the requirement of positing a source for this ID i.e. the Creator because those who believe in ID are by default trying to attribute everything to a single entity.
2) In contrast, since ToE's goal is not trying to attribute abilties/features to a single entity the theory is under no obligation to say "where that first cell came from"!
