Is ID largely supported by Christians?

In America, you bet. 80% of the American population is Christian. Do the math. Connect the dots. Anything with broad support in America can be expected, not surprisingly, to have 80% of its support from Christians.

    Yes, I have been reading way too much SciFi.

    There’s no such thing as reading too much SciFi!

    @ new.atheist

    Part of this talking past one another is perhaps an unwillingness to acknowledge the validity of others ways of knowing. The materialist is driven by a need to understand everything, including how he knows things.

    There is no difference in principle between scientific measurements today and the ancient Sumerians weighing out silver using a balance. This is all of science: measuring physical properties.

    Now, Ask a materialist how much love he has for someone and he may try to do a ‘blood hormone count’ or measure brain activity or something, rather than admit there is no scientific answer.

    Most people (especially this time of year in the west) will admit that what they most desire is a steady supply of exactly what the materialist claims are only illusions: Faith, Hope, and Love. People kill themselves every day for lack of them.

    (BTW- this relates to the soul/spirit debate because these attributes/qualities exist as realities in the same “place” and in a similar way.)

    I categorically reject the idea that these are only illusions based simply because science can’t access their properties. I can see and sense their effects. And I “feel” them in a way that only partially involves my physical body.

    This is the reason why one will never convince a determined materialist of the existence of any reality that is not at least (in principle) scientifically measurable . Simply because how one knows about this reality is not within rational comprehension.
