I feel good that I correctly understand your position. It doesn't make me any more or less likely to turn to your religion or any religion.

For instance, although everyone gets one last chance to "choose God", I get the impression that Jehovah's Witnesses have some pretty strict ideas on what constitutes "choosing God" and if you do any of it wrong then BAM! Whoops I guess you actually chose Satan.

More importantly though I am just not convinced by any of the pro-God arguments. If I was going to be Christian at all I'd go back to the Catholicism I came from, since they've become pretty tolerant (AFAIK) of differing opinions on the nonessential points.

As for your study, aside from the obvious questionability of a study of the popularity of Intelligent Design as measured by a religious organization I would ask: if only 60% of scientists believe that the Universe developed without any intelligent design, why do the "vast majority" teach that that is the case? Why not (roughly) 60%? (I freely admit that the last is merely a rhetorical question as the 40% figure for ID-supporting scientists is completely bogus. "The Discovery Institute's A Scientific Dissent From Darwinism petition begun in 2001 has been signed by "over 700 scientists" as of August 20, 2006. A four day A Scientific Support for Darwinism petition gained 7733 signatories from scientists opposing ID." "The unequivocal consensus in the scientific community is that intelligent design is not science but pseudoscience.")

My advice to fanboys: Brag about stuff that's true, not about stuff that's false. Predict stuff that's likely, not stuff that's unlikely. You will be happier, and we will be happier.
