Mat: “If I understand correctly, the ID story is that some unidentified, undetectable supernatural agent acting at a time and place unknown arranged matter into patterns that are living creatures. For some reason, He made an inordinately large percentage of the animals that are big enough to be seen with the naked eye beetles. Every organism he originally made is extinct now, but new ones (also made by Him) have replaced them. About half of the organisms He made, including the malaria organism which preys mainly on children, make their living by killing and eating the other half of the organisms He made. Most curious of all, this supernatural being did His work in such a way as to make it look like evolution did it.”
Now what part of that do you disagree with?
UD Editors: *Palm Forehead* Even after it has been pointed out, you persist in your error. Do please take some time to familiarize yourself with ID theory. KF has provided your some help above.

Barry, could you be so kind as to actually point out their errors you think I’m making? What part of what I wrote conflicts with what part of ID theory?
Are you saying that the Intelligent designer didn’t actually create life? I doubt that.
Are you saying that the majority of all animals big enough to see are not beetles?
Are you saying that all the early species are not extinct today, along with the vast majority of all species that have ever lived?
Are you denying that half the organisms today make their living by killing and eating other organisms?
Are you denying Michael Behe when he says the Intelligent Designer designed the malaria virus?
If you don’t want to talk about it (I understand), could you at least indicate which of the above violates the principles of ID?
I ask these questions mainly to give you a chance to get out of the embarrassing situation you’ve put yourself in. To someone who hasn’t drunk the ID Koolaid, it looks like a couple of sentences I wrote caught your eye and instead of reading the context to see what I meant, you rushed into print with a really bad quote mine.
If you can at least show the readers which principles of ID I’ve missunderstood, it will help vindicate you. Just repeating your claim makes it look like you’ve dug yourself into a hole and can’t get out. |

Well, Artie has gone silent. And so has Magna Charta. Can MatSpirit be far behind? Of rvb8?
