Anti-IDists: Rawlings and Provine *Willfully Damned* by Hyper-Empiricism?
Choosing and/or Doing *good* vs. *evil* . on whatever level .
A matter of perspective perhaps, yet are we not all universally punished by our peers and/or God for our volitions and actions, despite science-processes and/or God *ruling all things*.
If I were a theist and/or doctor of science . I might well hypothesize predestination, predetermination, NS-evolution, science mechanisms, and/or supernatural influences upon ”quarks-to-psyches’.
In other words, my own *free will* and artistic ID seems *driven*, *arbitrary*, and *damned* according to science. Likewise, the Bible (Romans 7-8) supports the hypothesis: “When I would do good evil is present in me . God hardeneth whom he hardeneth”, etc.
And it seems Rawlings damns ID while many peers and/or God damn Rawlings: Rawlings himself publicly exhibits a ridiculous and vain damning-judgment, a *first-degree (premeditated) judgment* that appears both volitionally and intelligently designed . if judged by his peers and/or God.
I wonder how many rich people pay actually for such utter vanity and vexation out of their hardened Cornell professors (with their prestigious presidential appearances) while poor Haitian children down south are starving.
In an ironical sort of way, Rawlings and Provine seem correct to damn ID/free-will in persons. What a sarcastically cold and cruel reprobation of all proud professors, hardened by hyper-empiricism!
