Some of my issues with "intelligent design."
Because logic is not an exclusive human invention, it is only a human understanding. Logic is not what we already know, it is not a limitation on our understanding of reality, it is a means by which we can understand our existence.

Being a "wonderfull feeling" doesn't make something true, it just gives you a warm and fuzzy feeling. There are those of us who find a great mystery and wonder in life by not surrenderinr ourselves to fuzzy feelings, but through searching for the truth constantly and always pushing the limits of what we supposedly know. If you just throw logic out the window, you're not "opening up" to the universe, you're passively sitting back while the world passes you by rather than emracing it and seeking to discover its mysteries.If you have to have cold hard facts to believe, you're missing out on a wonderful feeling.
Everything is possible, but that doesn't make everything plausible. If you want the possible to be plausible, that's where exploration comes in.
