I don't believe in my examples I've ever suggested ID was science--what
I've tried to point out by example is that certain aspects of current
"science" thought has no more claim to science than ID.

To that I say "show me the math." The mathematical probability that man
grew from pond scum is magnitudes smaller than an electron shadow.
Statistically, it could happen--but not as likely as my example with
the monkeys and typewriters.

I don't require science to support my faith--but I find it refreshing
when it does. ;-)

Yes, and many have been taught as "science."

I have no end goal--other than to seek the truth. How about this
twist--assume ID is true and attempt to prove that it isn't.
