Close minded father. He does not understand anything outside his personal beliefs. He asked me what the argument on intelligent design clause meant and I told him it states there is a supreme being (not declared as God) that governs the ecological systems on earth. He responds with We all know it is God. I say yeah, that's your opinion. The meat of the argument, not necessarily my stance on the matter, rules out scientific method. It says everything you've read in your textbook about the writings of Charles Darwin is false... I think including this presupposes fact. By simply including it, it rules out any possible scientific explanation and relies on fatalism to explain phenomenon which are actually not phenomenon if we can learn to explain the universe through exploration and discovery.
