"Though unqualified to do so, you pass judgment on a scientific theory -- evolution -- on grounds that it does not match your theological beliefs."

I never said that, you made that up. I pass judgment because Human Evolution is not a sound science that proves itself by using the scientific method.

"But then you claim your theological beliefs are "scientific,""

Are you mistaking me for someone else? What the heck are you talking about, I never said that.

"But there's nothing scientific about "intelligent design," it explains nothing scientifically, predicts nothing and is COMPLETELY unprovable."

These words do nothing but prove my point about Human Evolution. The whole point of the religion is to discredit creationism not execute proper science. There is no sound scientific fact that disproves creationism (including Human Evolution).

"Finally, for what it's worth, let me repeat that I agree with the THEOLOGICAL statement that God created the heavens"

And the earth as well. It's worth very much and I'm glad you feel that way, I too feel the same way as you in this regard.

"But I think His methods include science and the processes of evolution."

I agree He uses science, but in regard to the evolution of humans, I wholeheartedly disagree.

"Indeed, He left us so much evidence of that, it's clear He wants us to admire his scientific handiwork. Praise God!"

I admire His work as often as I can: the waves, the mountains, the trees, the rain, the sunset and sunrise, all masterpieces of a wonderful Creator. But old bones of unknown and unproven origins will never prove Human Evolution's existence using science.... never.

Nothing in science depends on YOUR uneducated opinion.

If you have studied the subject for many years,
if you have done serious research work in the field,
if you've taught college level courses on the subject,
and if you have published PEER-REVIEWED articles in major scientific journals,
then and only then does your scientific opinion even begin to matter.

Otherwise, your opinion is just that -- an opinion.
It should have NO influence over what is or is not taught in science classes.

In summary: science is what scientists say it is, whether it happens to fit your religious agenda or not.
