pbee,
Wrong, teaching that life originated as the result of a higher power has nothing to do with religion.
Of course it does, either life appeared naturally in the universe or it required a supernatural agent. Belief in a creating supernatural agent
is religion.

Either life had a natural origin or it doesn't, ie. therefore God/s. Since ID essentially tries to rule out #1, it implicitly requires that life (& a lot more besides) was created by divine intervention.

circular argument. God/Creation has no bearing on natural /unnatural laws. Such arguments are nothing more than literary implications people employ to satisfy beliefs.
A circular argument is an argument that requires acceptance of conclusions before the premise was accepted. ie. It isn't a circular argument.
In all other ways what you wrote was meaningless to my statement.
Again, more word play. Supernatural ranks up with magic and hocus-pocus.
That's right. That's what ID ultimately is, something synonymous with religion.
I say again, ultimately, life had a natural origin or a supernatural one. By supernatural we mean "outside this universe". ID attempts to rule out the former, therefore ID espouses supernatural origins.
