We percieved randomness as something without structure. And though percieved randomness has brought about quite a diverse universe full of complicated structures of inumerable and intricately balanced systems...who is to say weather or not there is intent behind it. A view for or against inteligent design is a simple testament as to wheather or not one believes in a higher power. That is religeon.
I am for intligent design in that it agrees with my beliefs.
I am agaist the promoters of inteligent design who want to teach it as science. I am still confused as to how intligent people can deny the overwhelming evidence of evolutinary theory. Science is a wonderful tool that is at it's best when helping to make sense of the physical world. Religeon is a wonderful tool that is at it's best when helping to make sense of the spiritual self and our relation to others. it encompasses feelings and motivations.....often given insight to a percieved meaning to life.
Science will never acheive this by it's very nature.
In the same light religeon is a very poor tool to use in understanding the laws of nature. Fact and belief are far too often from different worlds.

Re: Evolution unimaginable to ID's
No not true. When I make new inventions, I am exhilarated with Joy. This is pure scientific accomplishment. I am excited. When Archimidies discovered the basic principles of hydraulics, he ran with excitement shouting Eureka,Eureka." I am not sure if he was nude when he ran.
Who achieved this? I thought science was a tool?
You, my friend, invent, using science. It's a great feeling yes?
This simple oversight is quite wide spread. So very often we forget that we are the lynchpin of the equation.
