Intelligent design? Really?

You are employing logic, though. See, faith has nothing at all to do with logic. If you attempt to sell this idea to a Creationist/religous person, the rebuttal will invariably be: ''No one knows the mind of God. His ways are not our ways. Faith, is a mystery.''
There mere fact that a gender is even applied to 'God,' should tell you that logic doesn't come into play here.

Creationists are more than satisfied with believing that the things that can't be rightfully explained through science/logic, have a Creator as the answer, no matter how illogical it seems. (I used to be Christian, yet, I wasn't sold on Creationism, tbh.)

Circular arguments ensue, and you, the logical one, will just end up with a massive headache.

I was brought up in a very rational, very logical family with no religion at all apart from at school. So you may be able to see how I find creationists minds so confusing.

Consider yourself fortunate to not have grown up with confusing, mixed messages about life. I grew up in a Christian home, and my family was highly educated, and logical, but also, religious. There was always this two-pronged approach we'll call it, to life. Like, believe in science, but always put God, and your 'beliefs' above secularism.

The fact that secularism is a term that needs to exist, is stupid.

I rarely 'meet' people who grew up like you, there was always some type of spirituality coming from their family of origin. So, it's cool to see someone who has never been 'tainted' by the trappings of religion. Not even a smidge.

Keep it that way. haha
