All seriousness aside, are there Freepers who understand the evolution/ID stuff well enough to give me--and others--a set of brains on it?

Well, the easy answer is the Evolution is the most obvious conclusion to be drawn from observed data as reached by the vast majority of scientists who study this sort of thing.

ID is basically religious dogma restated in scientific terms to lend credibility to that which isn't credible.

That said, I read "Godless" and loved it until the chapter on evolution. Ann has flaws and that is clearly one of them but it doesn't detract from the rest of her work.

Right. Evolution is basically religious dogma restated in scientific terms.

The fact of creation is according to the Word of The Creator. He doesn't lie, nor does he readjust his theories every once in a while because he lacked enough insight. He doesn't have to, because He's right the first time.

Speaking of that, why should he "evolve" man when he knew what the finished product would be like before he ever created a lizard? Henry Ford had no idea what a Mustang would look like, so he started with what he knew and other men built on that. Can't you see that God, who sees the entire future, has no need for product development?

No it isn't. Well, maybe it is if you are only meaning what "scientists" think or say.

The most obvious conclusion to be drawn from observations is that all life on Earth gets by on the same stuff. Oxygen, sugars, etc. Stuff derived from photosynthesis, and the movement of certain types of electrons via diverse mechanisms.

By the way, I had trouble figuring out your sentence.

No problem, I sometimes find it difficult myself to string words together in a cohesive fashion. As a great number of critics concerning my own posts out here remind me at times.
