23. Yes - ID stops questioning
At the point where it gets difficult or complex. Look at the leaps that have been made in understanding our natural world. ID is a modern version of saying we can't prove the earth is round, so we may as well just give up and say god made all the clues about earth-round-ness up to confuse us and test our faith.

How could the earth possibly revolve around the sun, which has 8 gabillion times the gravitational force, not crash into the sun or other planets, and also have been randomly created? Do you want to stop there, or continue to study gravity and rotational forces to see that indeed there are rational explanations?

Could you explain electricity and lightbulbs to someone in the year 1435? Does the inability to do so mean that god created electricity and lightbulbs?
