:::: Is the point not that the "great designer", or whatever it is to be called, is infinitely more powerful/intelligent than mankind and as such is capable of infinitely greater complexity of construction?  Our puny earthling brains cannot comprehend the intelligence behind the design involved in the universe and so we need to reduce the argument to something which we can relate to comfortably.  How are we supposed to understand something (even the idea behind it) if we can't contextualise the argument to something more suiting our own intelligences?  We can conceive of designing and creating a watch. The "great designer" is infinitely greater than us, therefore he could conceive of and create the universe. [[User:Airdish|Airdish]] 16:50, 3 April 2007 (EDT)

:::::When you add what you said Airdish, with "The hypothesis on intelligent design leaves the identity of the intelligent cause open, since this question is not accessible by scientific investigation"  I get even more unanswered questions. Anyhow, the watch analogy bothers me but it does not bother anyone else and I am cool with that.  Thanks for everyone's opinions.  [[User:Miles|Miles]] 18:27, 3 April 2007 (EDT)
