Intelligent Design is based in Science and Math. The Greatest Scientists in the world adhere to ID because they truly understand the complexity.

I usually avoid these threads but every so often I toss my opinion out there.


I believe in some form of evolution but also believe it is Gods doing.

"It is as local community leaders that those students will become invaluable allies when more conservative religious groups try to halt the teaching of scientific theories in schools."

Give me a specific instance where "conservative religious groups" are trying to HALT the teaching of scientific THEORIES in schools. I'll be waiting.

I ask who designed the designer of the designer of the designer of the designer?

Because if there IS a designer there IS a designer of the designer.

FACT!

Sheer Bologna!

The Greatest Scientists in the world adhere to ID because they truly understand the complexity.

Name three of The Greatest Scientist in the World. Now name one of them who believes in Intelligent Design and *NOT* in Christian-fundamentalist Creationism.

explain Phi- if it's all randomn.

Meaningless. Now explain rho. Explain zeta. Continue at your leisure.

"I believe in some form of evolution but also believe it is Gods doing."

In a nut-shell, the arguments against that say why would good set up something without a purpose.

by hey, these ideas affect how we live day to day so I hope we figure something out. : D

No, although a lot of us just finished talking ourselves to a stand-still over on the thread that got moved to the "Smoky Back Room." No hurt feelings though, and I'm really hopeful that we heard each other, and will continue to study and think about these things.

"The concept, which endeavours to show God's hand shaping the course of evolution, is being promoted in parts of Europe and, more significantly, has recently become popular among Christian fundamentalists who want religion taught in US secondary schools....."

Makes you wonder if there is anyone at all at Nature who is the least bit informed about religion, religious movements or education in America.

3 of the greatest Scientist well, that's an opinion question.


I think the question should be "Find me a great Scientist who DOES NOT believe in GOD."

This is surprisingly accomodationist for Nature, given that they don't really have much of an ID movement in the UK and thus no need to cater to IDers in the way they advocate that we in the US do.

I agree that as teachers we shouldn't go out of our way to attack or even criticize ID - after all, we don't go after phlogiston or alchemy either - but I think the best way to confront ID is to do a better job of teaching evolutionary biology.

"I believe in some form of evolution but also believe it is Gods doing."

Me too.

I've even shown a number of hard-core anti-evolutionists how Genesis can be harmonized with evolution and all I get is hateful responses.

Of course, the anti-religious Darwinist zelots aren't any better.

I feel a bit like Luxenberg, trapped between France and Germany.

"I believe in some form of evolution but also believe it is God's doing."

So life as we see it occurred by purely naturalistic causes, but you also believe it was by supernatural cause?

"explain Phi- if it's all randomn. "

You don't believe all that "Phi" nonsense in DaVinci Code, do you? Most of that "Phi" data he cited was erroneous.
