You don’t need to know all the details before a reasonable judgment can be made. The YEC folks have none of the facts on their side. They have to reject every science that ends in -ology to reach their conclusions. Those ID folks who accept evolutionary science actually differ from us EC folks very little, when you get down to it. They simply insist that evidence for God’s involvement should be empirically detectable, while we beg to differ. Then, there are those ID folks who reject evolution entirely. They fall between YEC and “Evolutionary ID,” having rejected only half of the sciences that end in -ology.
If God was the engineer, only he has the level of detail that you require. Shall we wait for him to reveal the blueprints before we make a choice?
Just as an aside, it’s always a tell-tale sign that you’re dealing with a partisan when they constantly refer to “neo-Darwinian” (or simply “Darwinian”) evolution, rather than simply saying “evolution.” If you specify that you’re arguing strictly against NDE, then you’re arguing with an outdated definition of evolution. Just call it “evolution” and be done with it. We all know what you’re talking about.
Define “important.” In any case, I don’t suffer from “paralysis by analysis.” There is more than enough evidence to satisfy me and 98% of all scientists (presumably that includes biologists) that evolution is the simplest and best explanation, and God was guiding it every step along the way. (The last bit is my faith talking. Your mileage may vary.)
