discussion of ID from alternet
My standpoint on the ID argument is briefly introduced on the starting page. If any of you alternetters did make it out here, I'd be happy to oblige.

To start: I believe that the key to understanding truth is better achieved through an amateur multidisciplinary approach, as opposed to a comprehensive, albeit one-dimensional approach.

But here's my suggested starting point for this discussion. I suggest we start at the building blocks of our assumptions of human nature and the nature of knowledge.

Scripture (read: the Bible) is clear from the standpoint of these two: humans are sinful as a result of the choice made by original man in the garden of Eden, and taken from Ecclesiastes, God is the origin of all knowledge. An extrapolation of this argument would go something like this:

God is absolute. If there is no absolute, that means everything is relative. If everything is relative, all is meaningless.

From these two points, I think we can proceed with a coherent discussion: first, that there must be an absolute established in order to have meaning, and second, where your absolute opinion lies regarding the nature of man. h2oaso 04:16, 14 August 2005 (UTC)
