Gosh, let’s see. Yes, Herzberg deflates the idea of “purpose”, but really, that’s only one pro-ID argument. Another problem with ID is regress - if God or aliens created life, who created them? Nothing is resolved. Not to mention, if life was created, well, how, and even if it was, it might then evolve, and the evidence that the universe (not just your township) is many billions of years old, is impossible to doubt. Anyway, if you *start* with the belief in God, the idea of purpose *follows* from that, rather than proceeds from it. Your average ID’r is not trying to deduce the existence of God by observing finches. Just sayin’.
