False. The theory of evolution is based on evidence. ID is based on scripture and revelation.

Wrong, what evidence is the theory of evolution based upon?

The theory of evolution is based on evidence. ID is based on scripture and revelation.

Wrong, what evidence is the theory of evolution based upon?

What evidence? There are millions of pieces of evidence out there. They are grouped and explained by the theory of evolution. This theory explains the evidence to the degree that it has withstood 150 years of scientific challenges, and it allows predictions to be made. It has been so successful that, within science, there are no competing theories. That is the definition of a powerful theory.

Here is just one of those millions of data points (one of my favorites, too; I studied this skull for hours in grad school):

[Cicero]

Coyoteman, have you read ANY of the basic books on intelligent design? Their arguments are entirely scientific and statistical, and do not make use of the Bible as a proof text.

To confuse Creationism with Intelligent Design is just plain ignorant.

Moreover, the professor in question has published 70 professional articles in scientific journals, and does not proselytize for ID in his classes. Which is certainly more than can probably be said for the Darwinists in the department.
