Ping for the list. And that's Panda!
Why do you feel that the ToE says their is no God?
Isn't DI on record with the "Wedge" document?
This is why they're so reluctant to have ID submitted to court challenge. There's a paper trail that they created that admits it's a Trojan Horse.
Since you aspire to logic, you might consider the possibility that your graven image, the Bible, is not God. Worshipping the Bible is not the same as worshipping God. And finding that there is no physical evidence for some Biblical stories is not the same as declaring there is no God.
How do you make the leap that people worship the Bible? The actual book itself.
Where does that come from?
Its the God of that Bible that is worthy of honor and praise.
The net effect of all this is that mainstream science has tightened up its arguments, shed a bunch of flabby prose, and is a lot leaner and stronger.
I've seen this happen over the last couple of years on FR. People who accepted evolution passively have had to learn the arguments in some detail.
Read what people say about it. It's called the Word of God. Is not all of creation the Word of God?
How does one book descended from the oral tradition of one middle eastern tribe, with a lot of Babylonian myths tossed in, overrule the untranslated Word of God, available to everyone in the original language -- the world and the univrse itself?
"ID and Creationism both highlight the false assumption that underlies evolution, that there is no God."
1) Evolution doesn't care whether or not God exists, creationists made up that argument.
2) Even if it did assume God does not exist you can't call it a "false assumption" unless you can prove He does.
Remember no matter how strongly you believe something, it does not prove it as fact.
Now, I'm not saying God doesn't exist, I have no idea either way, I'll find out when I die. I'm simply pointing out the flaws in your logic.
Every now and then I see a post that is, for lack of a better phrase,shockingly accurate. Yours is one:
"...How does one book descended from the oral tradition of one middle eastern tribe, with a lot of Babylonian myths tossed in, overrule the untranslated Word of God, available to everyone in the original language -- the world and the univrse itself?"
Perfect.
I'm beginning to wonder if that's the only reason.... they've gone to fairly great legnths to dissuade their own people from testifying. You don't suppose they're afraid of having their funding sources scrutinized under oath, do you?

Scientists go where the evidence takes them. The evidence supports evolution. Evolution, and science in general, makes no claims about the existence or non-existence of God.
You mean, people like Howard Ahmanson?
Lance Armstrong says the testicular cancer made him tougher. Still, I bet he'd prefer not to have had it. :-)
