Is Intelligent Design Pseudoscience?

Atheist:

"creationism" and "Intelligent Design" are both pseudosciences (i.e. philosophy masquerading as science).

I don't understand why Agnostics and Atheists see Intelligent Design as pseudoscience.

Is God proactive in our daily lives? Or....

Did God set the world in motion but left it up to its own devices? To be more detailed when I ask "is God proactive in our lives." I mean does God sit in heaven and say.."okay I want a rain storm in Texas, and a major hurricane in Flordia to teach those heathens a lesson." "...

I saw this debate on another website, and though it would make a great discussion here. The atheist posted the paragraph below. Tell me your thoughts. "Inflationary theory, M-theory, string theory, to name but a few. All provide good explanations for the origin of the universe without having to...

Homosexuality in animals

First of all I'm a Christian, I believe homosexuality in humans is from nurture. I believe many factors can lead to homosexuality, such as sexual abuse. Some of you who have debated the question of homosexuality, whether people are born gay or it's how they were raised. At some point in the debate t...

Well, I am a Christian and the only other "life" out there besides us is the spiritual realm. At least that's what I believe. I don't believe aliens have ever visited this earth. I am open minded though, if one day we find life, primitive or otherwise I'm fine with it. Don't know the exact...

Everything in Universe can be explained by natural means?

I see this argument by atheists often. They claim the universe can be explained quite well by natural physical laws without resorting to a creator, and the fact that positing consciousness as metaphysically primary to existence is logically incoherent.

Thoughts?

Any evidence of homosexuality in today's primitive tribes?

I've always wonder this. Is there any evidence of homosexuality in present day primitive tribes? For instance the aboriginals of Australia, or tribes in South America, and Africa?
