Tim...

There's a lack of sufficiency to prove _anything_ at this point.
There're good arguments both ways. My life experience leads me to want
to believe in ID; but I still don't have enough information even begin
to construct a proof.

At the same time, all of my life experience leads me to want to
believe that if something happens, it happens because something caused
it to happen. Yet, I find myself unable to prove that _nothing_
happens without prerequisite cause.

These concepts may or may not conflict - I simply don't have any way
of knowing. It seems reasonable to me to conclude there is truth in
both; but it also seems reasonable to conclude that neither is
complete - and that even the sum/union is incomplete.

Further, our reason and proofs don't appear to _define_ reality - and
in fact, have failed frequently in the past to even accurately
_describe_ reality.

There are so many questions we haven't answered - and so many more
that we haven't even asked. As always, we're using what's within our
limited horizons to draw universal conclusions. Seems to me that our
reach is awfully short and our grasp exceedingly weak.
