>>Just because some of these speakers are from the ID movement doesn't mean that that is the whole subject of the conference. Many are speaking about other topics, and some of the discussion of intelligent design is about fine tuning, not intervention.
Fine tuning? Take your car to a mechanic and ask him to "fine tune" it without physically touching your car. You're just mincing words here. God either intervenes in life processes (without leaving any evidence of it) or He doesn't. If I'm faithful to the evidence, I'd conclude He does not. Otherwise, why all the imperfections in our DNA? That doesn't mean He couldn't, wouldn't or doesn't. But if He does, He does it imperfectly. So if you would prefer a God who acts on nature with occasional success, I'm not sure that is any better apologetic technique than for one to believe that God takes no direct action in the process.
Yes, there are other subjects at the conference.
