When Faith and Science Clash

[TaraJo]

If I am driving down the road wanting to get to Orlando, FL and I see rocks on a hill near the road that spell out "Welcome to Orlando" I can either assume:

a.) the rocks were placed there by intelligent design
b.) the rocks rolled there by unguided processes and just have the appearance of design

Or you could do a little intelligent, scientific research and believe what the research leads you to believe.

If I wanted to find out the history on said sign, I could look up its construction, when it was constructed, why it was constructed, who constructed it, what it was made out of, how long it took to make and how much it costed the city to erect the sign.

And the flaw with doing the exact same research on the creation of the universe is that every time I do research and learn something new, I realize how little any supernatural mumbo-jumbo is needed.

What's even more interesting, the only scientists who seem to find information that proves intelligent design are scientists who set out to find information for intelligent design. When you have scientists who are just looking for the truth, as in cold, hard, scientific facts whether those facts are supported by religion or not, none of them ever seem to be led to believe in intelligent design; thus is the power of confirmation bias.
