When do you reckon Hunter last went to a church service?

More recently than me, I bet.

Your point?

With all do respect, have the crackpots at the Discovery Institute ever shown PHYSICAL and RATIONAL evidence for the existence of a "Creator" via the scientific method?

Will they ban teaching string theory in physics for the same reason?

There are no experiments to conduct, there is no renewed testing.

Biology labs "evolve" life every day. Where have you been?

Intelligent Design looks at the same record of evidence and comes to a different conclusion than Darwinism.

ID attempts to find fault with evolution, and then claims that these faults are evidence of God. Balony. If the highly unlikely situation occured that all the multiple lines of evidence for evolution were blown away, that's not a reason to believe in the supernatural. Some other unknown natural process could have been the cause of species.

Am I missing something?

It appears so.

When did Big Bang

Both the Big Bang and Evolution fall within the realm of science.

and pseudoDarwinism become "valid science"?

What is "pseudoDarwinism"?

Name-calling again. I always expect it from liberals and Darwinists.

Doesn't mean it isn't something supernatural, either. But then you are very close-minded when it comes to anything having to do with God.

And I can say the same thing about you with regards to science.

No you can't. I think science is wonderful. I just don't understand why Darwinists are so afraid of a little competition. If you were so sure of your position, you would welcome it.

Creation and its ID trojan horse have a place in the curriculum -- a class titled Abnormal Psychology.

"Biology labs "evolve" life every day. Where have you been?"

They create variations within species...they do not create new species. When biologists turn dog progeny into say, a cow, get back to me. LOL!

"ID attempts to find fault with evolution, and then claims that these faults are evidence of God. Balony"

ID does find fault with Darwinism, but it also proposes Intelligent Design on its own evidence...i.e. the complexity of life, even microbes. You have not done your reading my friend.

So....baloney to you too...:)

First, it's politically incorrect to use the term "creator". From now on the anti-science charlatans expect you to use the correct term "designer". To answer your question: No. Showing physical and rational evidence is not part of the Discovery Institute's agenda to dumb down science in our schools.

Again, you are confusing the Metaphysical (God/Zeus/Allah) with the Physical (ie the existence of Dinosaurs in the past, the age of the earth, etc.).

Silly, the "Creator" is not revealed through the application of the scientific method but through belief. These "intellectuals" wish to place themselves above their creator.

A little something on the Friedrich Nietzsche God is dead quote:

Have you not heard of that madman who lit a lantern in the bright morning hours, ran to the market-place, and cried incessantly: "I am looking for God! I am looking for God!"
As many of those who did not believe in God were standing together there, he excited considerable laughter. Have you lost him, then? said one. Did he lose his way like a child? said another. Or is he hiding? Is he afraid of us? Has he gone on a voyage? or emigrated? Thus they shouted and laughed. The madman sprang into their midst and pierced them with his glances.

"Where has God gone?" he cried. "I shall tell you. We have killed him - you and I. ....

"What Nietzsche is concerned at in relating is that God is dead in the hearts of modern men - killed by rationalism and science. This same God however, before becoming dead in men's hearts and minds, had provided the foundation of a "Christian-moral" defining and uniting approach to life as a shared cultural set of belief fully within which people had lived their lives. Nietzsche suggests that the acceptance of the Death of God will also involve the ending of accepted standards of morality and of purpose. Without the former and accepted faith based standards society is threatened by a nihilistic situation where peoples lives are not particularly constrained by considerations of morality or particularly guided by any faith related sense of purpose."

So is God dead at Cornell?

No need, Aquinasfan, for you to condemn him. We've got a bigger hitter on our bench. The Big Guy HisOwnSelf.
This nut condemns the story of how God created the universe?
So, who cares?
Wait until the Big Guy HisOwnSelf gets around to condemning the third and most self-important version of Hunter Rawlings.

I'm not confusing anything. I simply made a statement.
