“Ben Stein was rushed and blew it.”
“It is another piece of evidence to keep ID out of school!”
Evidence? No, Ben is just speaking the truth.
Those that believe in evolution are atheists, whether they like that label or not. They REJECT Intelligent Design.
The argument is not about “religion”. It's all about science and common sense ... if the word “Intelligent Design” frightens you - consider it common sense.
The problem is that nearly 80-90% of the people in the U.S. believe in God. Most of them also believe in “intelligent Design”. There are also those that are unsure about what god or gods to believe in and still see the EVIDENCE of “Intelligent Design.” Yes, I know, just mentioning the word “Intelligent Design” scare people.
You won't stop people from believing in God or Intelligent Design. There is too much information based on SCIENCE that confirms it. Besides why would anyone want to suppress competing views? Unless they are not secure in their own opinions. YOU, believe whatever you like. I'll continue to look objectively at the evidence of “Intelligent Design”, ooops, common sense.
So then you consider all Catholics to not be Christian? What is your theological background to make such a pronouncement? Where did you get your theological degree?
I accept ID and evolution, and see them as consistent. And I see neither as being at odds with the Bible. I guess that means I'm an atheist according to you... I can only imagine your surprise when we're worshiping together in Heaven!
If you're willing to look at it logically or rationally - common sense - ID is about how it all started and who started it; evolution is about how it progressed. The two are fundamentally about different questions.
Bigots like you who presume to judge entire denominations - and a denomination that DIRECTLY traces an unbroken history back to St. Peter - as not Christian is about as far from a Christian viewpoint as you can have.
So since you consider Catholics not Christian, what's your take on Russian or Greek Orthodox adherents? After all, they have a different Bible, so they must be heretics and wrong too?

You forgot to add that all atheists are communists, homosexual, perverts, monkey boys, Nazis, ape lovers, hippies, free love types who use Darwinism to ensure that they can have sex with as many people (gender unimportant) as possible. Oh, I nearly forgot that they kick small dogs for sport.
Many people believe God created the beginnings of life, and then continued to guide the evolutionary process, with mankind being the final result.
