it is not 100% ... nor is it 0%. The whole point of developing theories is to approach the truth in the most sensible way possWell, off the top of my head, your example of the theory of the shape of the earth serves as a good starting point. Einstein's theory about the gravitational affect on light was proven. Theories about the function of internal organs were proven by the development of better imaging devices. Theories as to the chemical makeup of celestial bodies have been either verified or disproved by probes visiting them. There are countless examples of theories proven true or false over time.
I have no idea what % of theories get proven true. The critical thing is that ible.

Fair enough.

This is in the realm of intelligent design (ID) and creation by God.
If you want to limit your knowledge to superstition and magic, sure. Why not invent magical beings for which there is no evidence?

So a person mentions intelligent design and your comeback is to say they believe in magic? That's a pretty stupid response. Is it too much for you to admit that the wonders that science has discovered about the way things work do reflect a VERY intelligent design? I'm not suggesting to you who or what to believe designed things I'm simply asking you, is it that hard to admit that things do seem to have a very intelligent design to them?
