I was beginning to worry that I had missed something obvious. Could be. It seems to me that this is one of the most unambiguous points of difference between secularists and believers. Either you believe in intelligent design as the explanation of the universe and existence ... or you don't. What middle ground could there be, other than "I don't have a position" (agnosticism). If one does hold to the negative on this issue ... than it follows that our existence is the result of happenstance, accident, or chance -- all springing from pure randomness and chaos. It is pretty obvious that all subsequent ideas about the very nature of humanity start from this point of differentiation and proceed along vastly discrete and different pathways. None of which says that there need be any animosity between those who come to the one belief as opposed to the other. (Of course it is always possible that I am the one missing something obvious)
