Are We Living In God's "Matrix"?

[Chas]

I think it's easy to misconstrue the hatred, scorn and assorted mockery heaped onto proponents of ID as 100% denial. The former is certainly the overwhelming view here on AF. But then they would also spin on a pin if you called them on their disbelief in God if it suited their cause. Atheism has a mono definition when required that is as much a get out of jail free card as taking the fifth.

You still seem to not understand that it's about evidence.

Lots of evidence for evolution, none for ID.

And, yes, I heap scorn on those who ignore evidence.

Finally, your assumption that ID means "god" implies that you do not acknowledge any other opinions with regard to that concept. Some people may say there are other lifeforms on other planets that could be responsible for our reality. If I had to identify leanings personally, I would identify as a neutral monist, meaning I think that consciousness and matter are two ways of organizing or describing the same elements, wherefore it would be my own consciousness (and yours) that would be the intelligence that designed and influences the universe. Do you consider this a religious perspective? If so, did I ever once push it as an agenda? Um... No.

Is it religious? Doesn't matter - it is not rational.
