Intelligent Design is NOT Creation[ism]

ID man I have one question I hope you willingly answer. What is the definition of Intelligence in ID?

"You cannot reason a person out of a position he did not reason himself into in the first place."

ID Man How then do you propose to demonstrate the validity of your position if you cannot measure some aspect of this "external agency"? If you have no measure of the agency then there is no substance to the intelligence and as such cannot be taken seriously.It has no more explanation behind it than if we were to change the name to leprechaun intelligence or fairy intelligence.Perhaps you mean the central intelligence agency.LOL So,being as you have no measure of the intelligence,what do you mean by design and how do you arrive at this conclusion?

ID manJust a bump to ask if you might reply to my post #64 and as an aside I find your signature intriguing.Just what is meant by this? Is it implying that solar eclipses have only existed from the viewpoint of earth during the time when we have had the capacity to understand the significance of how they occur?

ID man First off 250,000,000 years needs to be compared to the length of time that humans have held an intelligence.Taking a ballpark figure of 10,000 years since recorded history began{and with it any assurance of cognitve processes that could appreciate the actual meaning of a solar eclipse}this amounts to 0.0002% of the age of the earth. This is before taking into account how far into the past the "window of opportunity" extends.
It does not look that impressive as a coincidence goes eh?Anyway this also veers away from the rest of my original post which is as follows If you could reply to this part of my query I would appreciate it greatly.
