Michael is right, because a theory would require some evidence.

“It’s not a theory, it doesn’t explain anything, and it tells you things that are not true.”

I like LGF, but they are completely clueless on ID.

I know. Quite an “honor.” Maybe next he’ll get named to the board of directors of the Creation Museum.

... while his listener is intellectually pummelling him and he doesn't even notice it.

That's what astounds me about Weiner. He flouts these degrees and books when he one of the dumnest radio guys out there.

He’s nuts. I’m amazed that he’s kept his gig.

Q: The question is not whether it replaces evolution, but whether it replaces God.

No, you see, Intelligent Design doesn’t tell you what is true; it tells you what is not true. It tells you that it cannot be that this whole process was random.

In two short sentences, Medved nails the basic truth about Intelligent Design.

I stopped listening to the Weiner guy when revealed himself to be a phony conservative by making a large contribution to Jerry “Governor Moonbeam” Brown’s 2006 campaign for Attorney General in California.

The evolution folks never said the whole thing was random. Ever hear of natural selection?

He’s a believer in homeopathy. I think that says it all.

When creationists trot out this “evolution is random” stuff, they’re being dishonest. If you’re going to disagree with someone, don’t misrepresent what they say. Ben Stein pulls that crap too.

The question I’ve had for the intelligent design folks is this: Even if there is evidence of intellegent design, that is irrefutable, how does that help you choose which of the tens of thousands of religions to follow?

Good question. The question I ask is: Why couldn’t God have created evolution?
