biogeography, observed instances of speciation and evolution, and the hierarchical structure of taxonomy.

And I believe each of the above could also support the genesis account. When you say "hierarchical structure of taxonomy" I'm guessing you're referring to the common features of different species. (That's a wild guess. I'm no scientist and don't feel like looking it up) When man creates machines he uses similar parts to create machines with entirely different functions. I don't think it's a stretch to see a creator doing the same in various species. I've been slammed for using that comparison before but we are creators in our own right, are we not? We advance our technology by using old ideas and tweaking them a bit.

I don't expect scientists to trash evolution, but again, by giving no respect whatsoever to those who would study intelligent design does little to help their "public relations" debacle.

Great, so how does one scientifically go about proving this? This is the forum we're talking about, after all. Anyone can sit around and have a few beers and throw out ideas, but it isn't scientific until you've tested them? How do you scientifically test the idea of a Creator?
