Well Percy, as you stated in another thread, taken to it's logical conclusion ID has to accept the possibility that Evolution itself might have been designed. Not what they want to hear!

YEC, on the other hand, is clearly based on faith in the literal truth of the Bible.

Now, I've just had a spat over evidence with a certain YECer (Hi Faith!

) in the science forum. It seems to me that the YECers would make a much better case for their position if they just held up their hands and admitted that it all comes down to faith.

I find it somewhat ironic how so many "people of faith" attempt to cover up their faith, so to speak!

Up there with the SETI project.

SETI is based on one known example of intelligent life. Humanity.

We have no known examples of a God.

The concept itself simply looks into the question of intelligence in the process. It is an idea quite worthy of scientific pursuit.

Would you be happy for ID to explore the possibility that evolution is intelligently designed? ID followed to its ultimate conclusion might consider this.

It just occured to me that natural selection alone would cause us to largely respond to things in a similar manner as do animals that are of the same type that don't have external influence.

We do respond to things just like animals! We are animals. Ever been in a crowd at sports event?
