You asked, “Why is it intelligent to conclude that there is a designer present when only a select few have claimed to witness the designer?”

Easy. When you look at artwork done long ago in caves, you know human intelligence was behind the art, but no living person ever saw the designer. There is a faith element, too, but we also know by experience that works of art generally are made by fellow humans. To conclude that there was no human intelligence would be stupid.

Okay. Now that I have answered your question, would someone here try to answer my question found near the end of my original post?

On another matter, someone wrote, “Since time doesn't really exist,” but time is very real. How many of you have watches? Why would anyone watch what does not exist?

Another wrote, “…why is it so bad to just admit that believing the biblical story of earth's creation is faith? why does it have to be ‘science’?”

When you enter I-95, you have faith that the car behind is not going deliberately to run you off the road. Sometimes an accident will indeed happen, but in general we have faith in the other driver. We also have faith that the car just ahead of you will not fall apart. It was put together using science, etc. Science and faith can go together. We interact with them in tandem daily.

Applecart,

I think what you're witnessing is boiled over result after countless attempts to correct a dishonest poster. The ID movement in and of itself is largely a dishonest marketing attempt to deconstruct the science curriculum of public schools.

Why is it intelligent to conclude that their is a designer present when only a select few have claimed to witness the designer?

Also, why is it intelligent to assume that the select few that supposedly witnessed the designer do not have any other motivation at play to mislead the public, or that they are of sound mental health and did not have a hallucination?
