    If that was true, then we should stop developing cures since we are
    obviously thwarting God's will. You could apply that same principle to
    infectious diseases which, since God allowed us to catch them, He
    apparently wants us to have them, so we should let them run their course,
    and if we die then God must prefer us dead. Is this a philosophy you
    subscribe to?
    There you go Dick; if you lust after multiple women then, since God
    allowed you to lust He apparently wants you to lust. Don't fight it,
    just let everything run its course and then blame it on God.

    Exodus 4:11: "Who gives speech to mortals? Who makes them mute or deaf,
    seeing or blind? Is it not I, the Lord?"
    Dick said: The problem, as I see it, is that ID is predicated on
    positive alterations. If they wish to credit the Creator directly for
    Huntington's Disease, etc., then how "intelligent" is that?

    Since God says He makes people mute, deaf, seeing or blind, then by what
    criteria do you make exceptions for Huntington's diseae, etc.? It would
    be really nice if you would defend your position with Scripture this
    time.
