Can you be an atheist and an I.D. advocate together?

Like I said Bambi, who cares what we think? Just believe stuff that brings you comfort...
You winning or us winning any arguments isn't going to change anything, is it?
God's not about to become real or grant us an afterlife...
He just needs to be real in your mind ...That's where the peace and comfort come from.
Does it really matter if he exists or not ... Your personal God has done his job...

Bambi ... I think you're smart enough to understand both sides of the theist/atheist equation.
Emotionally you have chosen theism. That brings you inner peace... That's a good thing...
You need not have to prove anything to us ...

Let me ask you something... Do you think something as complex as a "God" who can make the universe in 6 days just spontaneously appeared?
Even if there are gods, they too had to evolve from a single celled life. This is abiogenesis ... Either way you look at it ...it's real ...

I thought about that. As far as I viewed God, He is like big conscious non-contigent UNKNOWN outside of space and time and the universe. Sort of like "the great INFINITY" who began universe.

Not that God is the beginning cause, but the beginning cause is what people philosophize as God.

Kind of like a Programmer outside a computer, and we humans are the programs outside computer (except for the fact that the programmer is just finite contingent). I think Theism is maybe a compromise between philosophy and science.

It could be that or I'm a religious twat making excuses which seems to be the case.

Juice.

A programmer, yes. The idea that this is all a virtual world formed by a computer seems to me the most and perhaps only logical idea of "God". But the computer need not be anything special in its own reality.

Question: does your attempts to define god here sound remotely like the character Yahweh in the bible? A bumbling, failing, immature, jealous, angry, psychopathic toddler with super powers?

Define intelligence? That seems to be the key concept that ID proponents leave vague. They tend to focus on the design part. That's the easy part.
