Romans 1:20 does not say that we know that God exists because of the scriptures. It says that we know God exists because of his creation.

I'm asking about "Creation", specifically. Is the Bible THE source of your evidence, or have you found other compelling evidence?

NOTE: Evolution and "God" are not mutually exclusive. Some versions of "God" are excluded, obviously.

I just can't think that life could come about with NO INTELLIGENCE. THAT to me is the irrational standpoint.
To paraphrase you, Dan, sometimes the rational makes no sense and the seemingly irrationand improbably is true.
BTW, who and how do you think I am worshipping?
DETAILED Information systems coming about from non-information seems to me to be the IRRATIONAL standpoint.
The information is always there, it just changes. Can you define what you mean by an "information system" and a "non-information system".

More species have died than are alive today. That evidence would suggest that God is a crappy designer.

The Bible is very small reason why I believe in God. LIFE is the main reason.
Would it not be more accurate to say that life may lead you to believe in intelligent design but it is the bible that leads you to believe in God with a capital G.
Otherwise, with no bible and a willingness to ignore science, why would you not just assume that the universe, earth, and life have always existed? But introduce the bible and you get a single omniscient, omnipotent, sentient being that ties up all loose ends.
Do you really think the bible is a small reason why you believe in God?

I could agree a bit on that. Life has lead me to believe in intelligent design. The bible just teaches me who that person is.

IMHO, you've officially reached the point at which the full power of your critical thinking skills should be turned towards the Bible itself. Do not fear this. Truth will always be truth and lies will always be lies. Any faith that is worth having will withstand this examination. If you you need any book recommendations, don't hesitate to ask.
