Agreed that this is philosophy. But there is no proof one way or the other. That's why
I say the only rational answer is "I don't know."


Just a fine point: There is no "proof" in Science either. Science at best
can only propose more and more likely explanations for observed
phenomena. "Proof" is an idea pretty much limited to formal mathematical
logic, and then only because of the way axiom-based systems work.


OK, technically you're right. But when repeating a set of actions based
on a set of rules and the result comes out the same every time, I call
that pretty good (although maybe incomplete) proof.

Since "intelligent design" is based only on someones opinion, I don't
think it qualifies. We certainly can't repeat the experiment :-).
