Since Paine, a Deist, rejected Christian doctrines but still believed there
was a god responsible for creation, were he alive today do you suppose he
would support ID?
Sorry if this has come up here before. Don't recall seeing it.
I'm fairly certain Paine would not be an ID supporter. You've got to
realize, back then EVERYONE was a creationist. In the 18th century the
"God-of-the-gaps" fallacy was much less obvious, since at the time
there were far more gaps.
