    So Ockam's Razor, that's what.

    When two separate theories can completely explain some set of observations of interest, the simpler theory is always the correct one. In science the only reason to reject a simple theory for a more complicated one is because the simple theory can no longer explain new observations or test results.

    ID is a more complicated explanation than a non-teleological explanation of evolution. Until it becomes necessary, ID is a matter of faith, not a matter of science.

    You'll be waiting a long time. Posing delusive questions predjudiced with false presuppositions is the usual style of a person intolerant of any opinions differing from his own.

    Here's another

    Stock in trade of the bigot.
