I have engaged in some pretty decent conversations with some pretty well educated and intelligent "Creationists". The scientist from Pennsylvania, Michael Behe, is far from dumb.

The "Democrat" thing to do is to call people dumb who disagree with you.

Your comment that geology is based on evolution is dumb though....So..... call me a Democrat!

In the Petroleum industry, the geology used is closely based on evolutionary theory.

Yes, but whatever they have degrees in, they are not doing "science".

Once you posit "Inteligent design" it becomes a magic formula to replace every "I don't know" and every " I can't figure out the protocols for an experiment or raise the money for it"or "It's too much work to figure out". There is no possible way to say that one thing is Intelligent design, and another is simply temporary ignorance of underlying principals.

I don't care whether inteligent design is "True" or not. If it is accepted as true then the scientific method and science itself will soon go out the window.

No need for all the work and study. "God did it" is the answer to any possible question.
In fact experimenting to see if you can find another answer becomes sacrilidge once "intelligent design" has been accepted as the cause. To experiment is to mock God
