How can you tell?I'm typing this message on a computer whose design and workings are made possible regardless of the amount of understanding I have of the related industries. The chair I am sitting in, the desk I'm sitting in front of, the electricity that powers my home, the car I use to get around, the plane I fly in to get to faraway destinations, the medical care and medication that I use to get and feel better... all of those show the "truth" of any particular science. I could go on for quite a while, mentioning dozens --nay, hundreds-- of things that we all take for granted because they work regardless of how much we know about the underlying science.
How reliable and repeatable are claims based on religious faith? A ball-point pen will write just as well for a Christian as for a Muslim, and they both rely on science every day with such a fundamental level of faith that they don't even think about it. But ask them any faith-based question and lets see how well their answers align.
I challenge that we could pile all of those computer parts on the floor (matter) and nothing interesting would happen. However, putting the pieces together in a particular order and loading a program that gives it rules to go by, allows it to do amazing things. How is this not relevant to our existence? How is this not relevant to intelligent design?
