Hi Katherine,
I'm new here in Science and Nature, hopefully we'll be able to work together to make the section useful.

I think you presented your case very clearly here and I think it's one of those issues that can go round in circles and produce more heat than light.

I just wanted to respond to something you said:
Personally, my main issue with intelligent design is that by offering a pat explanation, it requires believers to stop asking questions about how the universe works. Even if an intelligent designer created all of the branes in the multiverse, I think it is still important to ask how and why, and explore all of the nitty gritty details.

In my experience intelligent design does no such thing. If you believe that a creator made the universe and gave it order, then you have a good foundation to do science. Don't forget that Isaac Newton developed his laws from the belief that there would be laws because there was a creator.

I am a Christian, I am also fascinated by science, because I get to study the amazing way God has made the world!

Hope you understand this, I won't go any deeper, but I'll check in and see what else is going on in Physics fom time to time, you're welcome in Chemistry too!
