DAVID: Cosmology: milky way size is enormous (Introduction)

dhw: You keep telling us that ID-ers support your theory, and that is why I keep asking you which ID-ers propose “that your God’s one and only purpose was to create H. sapiens, that he preprogrammed or dabbled every other life form etc., and that he did so in order that they could eat or not eat one another until he designed the only thing he wanted to design.” But all you keep coming up with is that, unsurprisingly, they support your theory of Intelligent Design, i.e. life is too complex to have come about by chance. And you tell us they don't even mention your God!

DAVID: You obviously don't know much about ID. They play a game just as you note. They try to prove there is need for a designer, but never mention the designer as God. Part of their rules in trying to purposely keep religion out of their material.
And under “Panpsychism”:
DAVID: You are correct that ID declares there is a designer. I have never discussed my extrapolations with any of them, but mine are based on the need for and the existence of a designer.

dhw: If ID does what I say it does (argues the case for design) then why do you say I don’t know much about ID? The whole point is that ID-ers do not offer one jot of support for your theory that your God designed every single life form, life style, natural wonder etc., and did so in order that life forms could eat or not eat one another until he designed the only thing he wanted to design, which was you and me. So please stop pretending that ID-ers support your theory!

My interpretation of ID and yours widely differ. Their support of the design of everything allows me to extrapolate their views to my theory, using their supporting ideas.
