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!

DAVID: 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.

dhw: You keep telling us that they do not even mention your God! Their thesis is that life is too complex not to have been designed. Yes or no?

Yes.

dhw: They offer no support to your theory that your God specially designed every individual life form, econiche, lifestyle and natural wonder, or that he did so in order that all the life forms could eat or not eat one another until 3.5 billion years had passed, or that his one and only purpose in designing life was to specially design H.sapiens. So I still don't know of any scientists, philosophers or theologians who support your theory.

All of ID supports my theory. They think all was designed as I do.
