Annoyances with Public Scientists

I was accidentally listening to PBS the other morning while trying to sleep (the tv was left on because my brain doesn't always settle down and it sometimes helps). A documentary or something came on, talking about Creation, Intelligent Design and science.

Well, I just want to say that Creationism and ID are not necessarily the same things. I think IDers are politically motivated groups, openly stating that they accept other Creation stories or believe in some off-planet source of life with an alien race or something, while creationists aren't, necessarily, politically motivated. In other words, Creationists can be IDers, but IDers include more than Creationists.

Creationism is the belief that God (and in the wordly perspective, any god or a pantheon) created our universe, world, and life.

Belief is not science, but tenets of faith can be evaluated scientifically. To do this, you must first start with a right perspective of the belief. In the cases of scientists arguing against an Intelligent Designer, especially God, they mistakenly assume that Creationists and IDers believe that God would use many different ways of creating life, whether by morphology, DNA composition, some other heritable molecule besides DNA, etc. It appears that many non-Creationists assume that if there is a God or other Creator, that the Creator MUST use uniquenss in all His creatures. I don't think so.

In fact, my creativeness starts in one place, leads me to a new place, and then another place and another, and it follows a logical progression. Now, I'm not as smart as God, but if I am made like Him in any capacity, this definitely follows from an Intelligent Designer.

I think that randomness is more inherent to completely chemical start with no Creator. I would not expect nature to be logical, but wild, untamed and unpredictable. That's not the way our world is, though it is in some locations. This fits with my idea of God, too. The simple things boggle our minds. But, the world is logical and chaotic at different times. There are reasons for everything, with some apparent randomness.

What do we make of it? Intelligence is also logical, not random. So, how can anyone arguing against Creation ideas dismiss the ideas just because life has a logical pattern? I must say, "Duh!" I mean no disrespect to persons, but to faulty ideas only, especially strawmen like this one.
