I made a counting mistake in how many people misinterpreted your words, perhaps, but that's all.
Misinterpreted, or manipulated?

In the future, please define exactly what you mean when using ambiguous words like "natural". It'll save a lot of time.
Not quite there yet, but I'll post dictionary definitions of every word that seems to confuse you. You've got yourself a deal.

"Right" is another word like "natural". I can't answer your question until you define the word as you're using it.
Here, I may have been too ambiguous. I didn't mean whether it was morally right or not as a question. I was referring to "naturally right", I guess ... I'll rephrase.

What I said: "So it's either natural -- and a defect, a dysfunction, etc. -- or it's unnatural. Either way, it's not right. Is that what you're saying?"

What I meant: So either it's natural -- and a defect, or a dysfunction, etc. -- or it's unnatural. Is that what you're saying? Either way, it wouldn't be something that's supposed to happen.

Based on what I've read and on my own experience and observations, I believe what I have purported to be the most likely scenario, yes, but I acknowledge the possibility that I may be wrong. I wouldn't call that "blindly", but you can if you'd like. What else can one do until concrete, un-refuted evidence surfaces?
Not much. I agree with you -- one can either take the middle ground and not believe either, or judge by their own life experiences and observations and pick one until they're presented with enough evidence to change their mind. What interests me is how many people who are hostile towards those who have applied this tactic to religious beliefs (not you per se, though I don't know) have themselves applied this tactic to other beliefs.

Is it? Explain how it uses the scientific method, please.
I never said that ID is scientifically proveable, just that it is as "scientific" as Evolutionism. For the Scientific Method to apply, the idea must be disprovable.
