I'm afraid you're confusing me with someone else. All I have done is
express irritation at the attempts here to portray ID as somehow the same
kind of concept as evolution. In fact, ID is meaningless waffle designed to
make people who haven't thought about the issues believe that there is
scientific proof for various peculiar belief systems.

There's quite a lot of words flowing here, and I don't blame you for not
carefully studying everything I write. However, I think you are assuming
arguments that in fact I have not proposed.

If you're asking, of course I realise that science doesn't explain
everything. I am the one who loudly proclaimed that evolution has nothing
to say about how the first life began - evolution just describes how some
life gets more complex.

Also, your use of "we" is not really reasonable. What YOU say,
and what GaryB says, are very different.
