From there, we can even learn something about what God must be like, simply by working our back from our own experience to a necessarily existing, and conscious, foundation to reality.

At what level is design obvious in nature? Is ID too narrow, or telling of something much greater? Can you settle the matter of design (or no design) apart from evolution?How do we best explain the complex structures and genetic codes we’ve discovered in life?
