Sometimes, we forget that, as biological beings, we are, by environmental conditioning, limited in our reasoning abilities toward non-linear thinking. What constitutes absolutism of thought and to infer that we have absolute reasoning? We know that many imminent scientists, including Einstein, were disposed toward intelligent design, agnosticism, and not atheism. Stephen Jay Gould says, “...facts and theories are different things, not rungs in a hierarchy of increasing certainty. Facts are the world′s data. Theories are structures of ideas that explain and interpret facts." For all the evidence and reasoning, we still have not proven or disproven, at least not with enough scientific rigor, that God exists. Even holding an agnostic view seems to be better than saying that we have disproven Intelligent Design. Until then, being predisposed to one of the polar claims ought not to be treated with contempt.
