13. Welcome to DU...You are seriously advocating intelligent design, though?

The "statistician" you cited about I.D. is a quack with a religious agenda, just like the climate denier "scientists" have pro-profit corporate agendas. Evolution is at the very foundation of all of biology. Mutations occur in genetic material frequently. Sometimes the mutations are advantageous, and help the organism thrive and reproduce. Therefore, the "mutation" eventually becomes the norm over time. There is no magical supernatural creature necessary to facilitate evolution. It has been happening for literally billions of years, most likely all over the universe.

Also, whatever the catalyst for the Big Bang, there is no need to assume a supernatural explanation in the absence of evidence.

One other thing: Some intelligent people think there is a god, often because belief in god has been a part of their culture/upbringing. That isn't evidence for the existence of the supernatural, though.
