How do you deem that I am not attempting to have honest discussion and debate?Intelligent people don't normally accept philosophical assertions without meaningful support. I want to know what work by any credible workers in the fields of "astrophysics, quantum physics, epigenetics " support intelligent design. Links ftw.
I've been studying astrophysics, quantum physics, epigenetics for many years and I'm finding more that's leading me away from atheism than toward it. My intention here was to get other people's opinions, but it seems like rather than engaging in the debate, people want to call me an idiot. Maybe I'm confused and this is not a site for people who actually want to have intelligent conversation with other people with opposing viewpoints?
According to Neil Degrasse Tyson, "15% of the most brilliant minds in the world" believe in a personal god. NDT is agnostic, but argues that it is amazing that after all the advancements in science there is still evidence being revealed that continues to confirm ID for these brilliant minds. I think it's fascinating as well.

It looks as much like pixies are responsible for it. Just change your religious views to "presupposed", at least that'd be more honest.
What do you assume I'm presupposing? That there's a possibility that life is like a video game that was designed and we're playing? Sure, I'll entertain the thought, especially if quantum physicists and astrophysicists are willing to entertain the thought that time is illusory and acts similar to a hologram. Why not?
