None of which authorizes you to speak on behalf of other Buddhists or of Buddhism in general. But regardless, maybe you'll indulge me... what do the teachings of Buddhism have to do with intelligent design? What did the Buddha say about the eternality of the world? Or its finitude?

It was a shame to see you leave TR but damn if I'm not giddy as a schoolgirl that you're here. Your geek credentials (and crackshot snark) need no introduction. Welcome! Welcome!
