I don't understand the need to push Intelligent Design.

Belief in God requires only faith.





Some of its proponents push the theory for reasons that have nothing to do with a belief in God. For them, it is the intellectual dissatisfaction with a purely naturalistic theory of the origins of the universe and the coming about of life as we know it. I do not understand why the "bogeyman" of religion always has to be invoked whenever one postulates that there is more at work here than
chance and physical laws. The "Teleological" argument is not based on a religious assumption, but a philosophical one. Religion relies on direct, experiencial revelation and does not need to speculate from an observed effect to an unseen cause.

The very concept of Intelligent Design has, at its fundamental core, the notion of an Greater Being as the architect.

Tell me how that is not theological.
