I guess I have to apologize for putting this article under the category of philosophy. That must have been very misleading. I can understand your confusion.
You are missing the main point of my article. I am arguing against putting intelligent design in science class. Scientific theories require physical evidence in order to be proven. It's really as simple as that. Evolution is the best theory we have so far in this regard. If you can offer me something better I'm all ears (nothing a priori please, unless it's strictly a discussion on philosophy or theology).
Oh, one more thing. In regard to philosophy (now that we're on the subject) I am going to have to disagree with Descartes in regard to God (as do most philosophers these days). While his cogito ergo sum by itself is "proved with a flourish of trumpets" that in no way means that because I think of God he exists. He may exist in my imagination, but until I see him with my own two eyes I am going to have to refrain from believing in him outside the mental realm. I make a point not to believe something just because it sounds good. But that is my preference.
Thank you for your comments.

P.S. Anytime you want to have a philosophical debate I'm game
Bring it on.
