Today there are more than 200 known parameters necessary for a planet to support life--every single one of which must be perfectly met, or the whole thing falls apart.

I think there is a lot of arrogance in that statement. It assumes the
only life forms possible are those like we have on earth.
I think life is like a fire. It is fairly hard to get started but once
you get it going, it is hard to stop.

There is some merit to the idea that comets can seed a planet with
life or the precursors of life. The proof would be finding a comet
with something living on it.

The real hang up is you have to believe in evolution.

I saw nothing in the article precluding evolution. I think the term
'by design' was used.


Creationism.

Paul Davies has said that "the appearance of design is overwhelming".
I must have missed the word 'creationism' which I assume precludes
evolution, in your terminology?



Intelligent design assumes creationism.

And does not exclude evolution.


There isn't the slightest bit of scientific proof of intelligent design
or creationism. Nothing. Zip. Zilch. Nada. There is plenty of proof for
evolution, but nothing scientifically provable that connects it to
intelligent design or creationism.

Hey, believe what you want. But until you can produce scientific proof
of intelligent design or creationism, it's nothing more than religious
belief, the evolutions of Ra, Amun, and Isis.
