We don't know how things would have happened naturally and
if we can't understand how it could have happened supernaturally
we have a problem? A bias is like a backpack, you can't see your own.

There are pretty good theories of how some things happened naturally and
continuing development of areas for which it isn't certain---that's what
science is about.

That you bring in some supernatural agent is simply saying it's
unknowable and there is no point in studying it further as you simply
say the external agent did it. There had to have been a mechanism by
which it was done imo is the only bias I have.

My whole difficulty in this discussion is that bringing in the
supernatural simply removes the subject from the realm of science
entirely. As I've noted before, if it turns out we can't ever figure it
out, then that's the same conclusion it seems to me the ID'ers have
already reached except they gave up the search by accepting the
supernatural, unknowable alternative.
