A Study of Intelligent Design Debate

[/B][/QUOTE]Anyway, for me, you'll never be able to prove there is no ID, as it is something I already know. Just like you can't tell me 1 + 1 doesn't = 2.[/B][/QUOTE]No, it's not something you know. It's merely something you believe. Do you understand the difference? All you have said - all you CAN say - is that everything appears intelligently designed to you. Which, sorry to tell you, is not evidence for intelligent design - it's only evidence of the fact that you think everything appears intelligently designed. Sorry.

I think any rational, non-psychotic person could see the issues involved in the bio.com link I provided.

Sorry, you made an obvious error above - you used the word 'rational'. By definition, creationists are not rational.

A bit of care needs to be taken with the above - selective breeding, too, can be part of evolution. Evolution includes not only natural selection, but sexual selection, which is precisely about breeding - people choosing who to mate/breed with based on some perceived trait. This could very easily have been some part (small or large) of what contributed to the pygmy's current height.
