So what if you prove intelligent design?
Theists claim that life is too complicated to have arisen without some form of higher intelligence...
does that really prove there is a god?
can it not be some other form of metaphysical intelligence?
really? youre satisfied with the answer "it doesn't matter"?...you will live a very boring and unenlightened life
i'm an atheist and i say if someone somehow convinced me of ID i would presume it was aliens, not an omnipotent force

I believe that Hitchiker's Guide to the Galaxy seems the more believable option.

It's a claim, not a proof, and it's a claim with as much evidence as the claim, "The gods live in the clouds atop Mount Olympus, beyond the vision of mortal men." Which, of course, was once a claim also believed to reflect reality. And that claim, likewise, had no evidence. Eventually we could actually see the top of Mt. Olympus for ourselves, so future religions hid their gods more carefully behind such words as "supernatural" and "unseen".

evolution by natural selection can explain in most of the cases the complicated levels of life without the need to appeal to some higher intelligence.
If you claim something you have to bring proves to support your claims.

Yeah good point. It points out there is indeed a God. But does it say anything more? That christianity is the sole right way to him? That all the other religions in the world are worthless and a waste of time?
God could be not at all human like. ID says nothing about God himself, just that he exists.

It took the world 4.5 billion years to get to such complicated life. Intelligent design is not needed.

Waht does Qur'an Say:
"THEN HE TURNED TO THE HEAVEN WHEN IT WAS SMOKE...' (Qur'an, 41:11)
"HAVE NOT THOSE WHO DISBELIEVED KNOWN THAT THE HEAVEN AND THE EARTH WERE ONE CONNECTED ENTITY, THEN WE* SEPERATED THEM?..." (Qur'an, 21:30)
Dr. Alfred Kroner is one of the world's renowned geologists. He is Professor of Geology and the Chairman of the Department of Geology at the Institute of Geosciences, Johannes Gutenberg University, Mainz, Germany. He said: "Thinking where Muhammad came from... I think it is almost impossible that he could have known about things like the common origin of the universe, because scientists have only found out within the last few years, with very complicated and advanced technological methods, that this is the case."

When mathematics professor John E. Fornaess, of Princeton University, was asked for his thoughts on the existence of God, he replied: "I believe that there is a God and that God brings structure to the universe on all levels from elementary particles to living beings to superclusters of galaxies."
Physics professor Henry Margenau, of Yale University, said that he was convinced that the laws of nature were created by God, adding: "God created the universe out of nothing in an act which also brought time into existence." He then noted that in the book The Mystery of Life's Origin, three scientists explain that a Creator is a plausible explanation for life's origin. Supporting this view, astronomer Fred Hoyle has stated that believing the first cell originated by chance is like believing that a tornado ripping through a junkyard full of Boeing 747 airplane parts dismembered and in disarray could produce a 747.

I could proabably invent a thousand stories if I wanted to, but the evidence will only support the idea of God.

ID is nothing more than repackaged Creationism(and just as foolish).

it proves there must be something greater than us guiding all things to there proper place. God can only be proven in ones heart for there is the kingdom of God.
