There is only one way to understand ID, and that is to understand your
own Self.  Because your Self contains all knowledge that exist,
indcluding knowledge about design in nature. And that knowledge cannot
be found anywhere outside of your Mind.
 
It is that knowledge that all science is built upon. Science is based
on observations through the senses, and the subjective interpretation
of these observations. Knowledge is not something you "import" from
outside by reading books etc., as commonly believed. You could not
understand anything in any book, unless you already new it - i.e. had
the ability to understand

Apparently. The conflation of "know" with "able to
understand" is simple and breathtaking. "Simple", of course,
used in the other classic sense...
