So MN actually supports discovery of the processes God uses in creating and
governing nature. ID is not really ruled out, just subjected to the constraint
that it cannot be used as an excuse to stop investigating a phenomenon because
"God did it". Maybe God _did_ do it -- as a Christian I believe He did. But as
a scientist I believe it's important to learn to the best of my ability _how_
He did it.
