Bertvan: ID hasn't yet become dogmatic enough to have a rigid definition. M
y
definition is merely the conclusion that universe is the result of a rationa
l
design, rather the result of random processes.
A definition that is a conclusion? One would hope for more than that.
Bertvan: It includes the belief that
life consists of more than matter and the impersonal physical forces we now
recognize. (mind, creativity, spontaneity, free will are forces science
does
not presently know how to deal with) The Gaia concept is certainly a part
of
ID.
So natural forces can be definitely a form of ID? That does seem to reduce
the meaning of ID a little.
