“Intelligent design supporters like me view Darwin’s theory as untrue and even as laughable:”
I find it laughable that Christians support IDers who believe in evolution and that God is dead.
I believe in God, the Creator. I don’t think man came from apes, or that man and ape evolved from the same species. I believe there are indications of intelligent design in the way life is organized and reproduces itself.
I am pleased to see scientists and philosophers backing the concept of intelligent design, even though some of them say that they don’t believe in God. These people are coming to their conclusions based on evidence, not on religious belief. Sure, I wish everyone could have the comfort and joy of a relationship with God, but if that isn’t possible, I am encouraged at least that a stake is being driven through the heart of Darwinism.
Darwinism is responsible for a great darkness in the world, and the deaths of many millions of innocent people. I long for the day, which I believe is coming in the future, when scientists will wonder and shake their heads, mystified as to how so many scientists could have tricked themselves into believing in and proclaiming Darwin’s theory.
You do realize that ID is based on man's common descent, just like darwinism.
I bet you will live to see the opposite. You are in such a small minority. Even Christian schools do not teach your YEC nonsense.
Good stuff.
No. I do not regard Genesis as a scientific text. I have no vested theological interest in the age of the earth or the universe. I find the arguments of geologists persuasive when they argue for an earth that is 4.5 billion years old. What’s more, I find the arguments of astrophysicists persuasive when they argue for a universe that is approximately 14 billion years old. I believe they got it right.

I haven’t said that I believe in the “young earth”. I only said that I believe in a Creator God.
Bye.
Notable how an great intellectual can be such a fool.
The fossil evidence is overwhelming that early man was much different from modern man.
OECers have more to fear from YECers than from evolutionists. YECers say that after they kill evolution, they will take on the OECers till everyone believes the only 'true' religion, a 6000 year old earth.
Please draw no conclusions regarding the intelligence, creativity, or reasoning capability of Christians from the content of this thread. We are not all this stupid.
