Aside, in response to Kent's comment.

The theory of evolution and the theory of intelligent design are on different sides of the fence but are on the same playing field.

The evidence we have collected is there for all to see. Since neither evolution nor intelligent design is really a provable scientific fact, as neither can be observed (we dont have a time machine), both are merely interpretations of the evidence we have. Evolution says that over hundreds of millions of years, life evolved through the processes of natural selection and random mutation. Is there evidence of this in our past? Yes. Is it reproducible in a labratory? Not so far.

Intelligent design agrees with the law of biogenesis in biology. Life must come from life. It infers that since it is impossible to create life from non-life, it must have been initially created by something intelligent. Is there evidence of this? Yes, it is inferred by the lack of evidence that anything else can happen. Life cannot come from non-life.

Is it possible for ID and evolution to exist along side each other? I think that it is. Life came from some kind of intelligent designer, and the life evolved. Maybe so.

Fact is, no one knows what really happened cause we don't have a time machine to go back and observe what happened.

Regardless, IDers are not going to give up on ID until evolution PROVES to be true. That is, it must SHOW without DOUBT that interspecies evolution happens, that life can come from non-life, and that an Intelligent Designer is not needed. There is doubt, and it has not shown to be fact. Until it does, I remain on my side of the fence.

Consider this my last word in this pointless argument.
