That's what makes debates like this so difficult.

this is what bugs us non-religious folk the most. religion is based purely on faith, that proof is not required to believe in an ultimate creator. but science is based on knowledge, nothing is ever accepted as fact or even a theory without solid proof to back it up. so why does the religious right feel it neccessary to dress up their faith and try to fool people into thinking it's a science? because that's exactly what they're trying to do with intelligent design, when in reality that line of thinking goes completely against the foundations for their entire belief system
you can't have it both ways, the scientific community doesn't work like that
