"Archangel fails to understand the basis of Animism ( as usual ) . Animism seeks to explain things it can not by assigning them supernatural associations . Often that is done through a soul . The principle argument I 've argued in their similarities is that of why they do such a thing . What can not be explained now or its relation to the greater whole is credited to a supernatural being , a being or set of beings that exists not entirely of the natural world . Where ancient animists believed that lightning was associated with the Gods , and that Volcanoes were the manifestation of Pele , the principle is the same . What can not be explained or understood now is of a higher being . How did this rock get here ? Where did deer come from ? How do they exist in the larger picture ? Animists assign souls , or anima to the inanimate and animate objects as a way to place what they do not understand into a coherent organized picture . Intelligent design is no different . Only that it has replaced lightning , volcanoes and rain with the human eye and origin of the life . While it may not use the same identical concepts of anima to inanimate object , the core logic is identical . What is too complex to understand or explain now is of a higher being ."
"Oh , I see now , you must pervert and completely redefine what animism is in order to apply it to your corruption of what christianity is according to the bible . I have accurately defined what animism is above in comparison to the Old and New Testament which it has nothing in common with . But in usual fashion you will claim it is me who does n't understand when it is you who must corrupt the truth with the lies and distortions you tell . BTW , your explanation above which I have posted in its entirety is nothing more than self indulgent gibberish . http : //www.religion-cults.com/Ancien ... sm/Animism.htm Do IDers actually want Intelligent Design taught in schools ?"
