Why would I want to merge science and myth? They provide completely separate functions for humans. If they were merged what would be the result? DNA clone a unicorn? Quantum explanations for christ's ascention? Geological analysis of the great flood? (ever read Immanuel Viloskofsky's "worlds in collision"?) How about this...sociology and the witch....that would make a great novel--but a useful piece of knowledge?????
The Physics of Star Trek?
My personal opinion on Intelligent Design is that I don't see why anyone over the age of forty would believe in it-- because the effect of gravity on a human body surely was not designed by anything with a modicum of sense.
You seem to assume that because I find your petty tribal deity lacking, I'm atheist. Au contraire, Pierre-- I'm willing to believe he exists, at least at the same level as Zeus or Yemaya or Kahless the Unforgettable. I just don't find him particularly praiseworthy. Mostly, IME, YHWH is irrelevant.
You seem to assume that a petty tribal deity is my God . . . totally missed the point. A generic deity cannot be dismissed just because you can dismiss the absurd descriptions and attributes assigned by humans . . you can only dismiiss the specific descriptions and attributes. I suspect my attribution of intellectual was premature.

Intelligent Design has nothing to do with what I said. ID is a totally unscientific idea.
The person who asked this thread question is religious, but obviously he's used his head:
If everyone around me is telling me there is God, and he can do everything, why didn't he show himself in some way?
Good question, very good question.
And, the answer is -- just as you suspected it is -- God is a lie. See, if anyone uses his head can figure that one out on his own.
So for all the people baffled by religions, you've come to the right place to discuss truth.
God did show Himself, and we nailed Him to a cross. The Bible predicted humankind would kill Him, and the Bible did this long before He came to planet earth. God is not a liar, the real liars are the one's who pretend this account does not exist. The belief that He never showed Himself, is a belief based on a lie.
Lets not get into the Flood story, that a whole different Ball of Illogical Wax that isn't part of this thread
Suffice it say the Noah story doesn't make sense in global terms. Local area flood, perhaps, but not the entire planet. There's too many variables involved that many people don't think about.
I believe Noahs Ark is still around today. I believe God has placed it in a spot that's hard to get to, yet it may soon be revealed to the world as proof of the Bibles truth. Your variables are going to go right out the window when that happens. There is a great deal of evidence for the Arks existence today.

Well the real reason the Evolutionist had to go to court to block the teaching of ID, is because to many other questions would arise that would put into question the whole theory of Evolution. There is a great deal of historical evidence they had to keep out of the classroom, because that evidence would shake the foundations of the Evolution theory. And if ID was taught, some of that evidence without question would of found it's way into the classroom. By not teaching ID, they can dumb down the American students, because they are only being taught one bias point of view. And that view is based not so much on science or facts, but assumptions that promotes a secular view of the world.

And just when I thought I'd tightly closed the lid on that box of "Miracle Grow", someone comes along and knocks it over and spills a massive quantiy on the ground.
