Only a few have responded, both reporting 100% confidence.
If you want to conduct a poll, there's a way to do that.

Are the people who thought you were strawmanning and the people who said they were 100% certain the same people?

Because of your sample size of two out of hundreds?

It seems to be highly important to you to have been right in the first place.

Now you're 'moving the goalposts'. When did we have to experience, read, or hear something to make us question the possibility of ID? Of course it's possible. It just doesn't seem to match the facts of what's the case here on earth. I expect if we ever colonize Mars, there will be plenty of evidence of ID there, because we'll be doing the ID-ing, as we've done all the ID-ing thus far discovered (until the robots take over ID-ing from us).

You HAVE demonstrated a penchant for the melodramatic. Two people give the answers you expect, and all the people who objected to your characterisation of them must have lied to you.

Fair enough. You 're entitled to your opinion. I tend to focus on facts, but I'm not everyone here.

If you were a little less determined to 'discover' that your strawman is made of bricks, it might be easier to get that discussion.

I hope you come back and read this again when you're a little older. I bet you'll lrealize you've learned a lot since now.

A bit of advice for the future: don't jump to conclusions about a whole community based on two data points.

The problem is if you find God in the gaps, those gaps keep shrinking.
