    I thought that's what you said; I saw the definition of "miracle" had bearing here.

    For the record, (insofar as anyone actully cares) I would say the crystaline structure of a snowflake is indeed a miracle, as well as a prime example of intelligent design.

    Because, by definition, any being capable of such a feat would have to be God.

    Why is it that backers of this theory are unwilling to admit the obvious- they want religion taught in school AND they want it elevated to the level of science.
    Furthermore, not just any religion will do...it is Christianity they are advancing.
    Highly unlikely that any evidence whatsoever that Shiva (for example) constructed the Universe will ever be presented in Indiana schools,eh?

    one can only assume that any "judeo-Christian" that believes I.D. and the "designer" is not god is renouncing their faith.

    it’s an election with no Democrats, in one of the whitest states in the union, where rich candidates pay $35 for your votes. Or, as Republicans call it, their vision for the future.

    Are you 12 years old, that would certainly explain your inability to take part in adult conversation.

    Fine then.
    If your God did not create all this then why is He/She/It worthy of your faith?

    So you don't have an argument in response then.. I am not surprised.

    Why would the being who designed this Universe have to be God, any more than you designing and making a clock would make you God.
