" Most of the scientists I know, including myself, are decidedly not liberal."

I know the antidote to this theory, the much vaunted Fox News Channel. When it comes to science or geography or economics, FNC has presents as many factual errors as CNN, if not more. During Katrina, or the talking points on hydrogen, or global warming, or Bill O'Reilly on oil markets FNC demostrates astoundingly poor scientific knowledge.

ID seems to me to be based on the Bible which is a religious book. Seems to me like comparing the records of Michael Jordon and of Mick Jagger.

I just don't see why it cannot be that ID is the reason and Evolution is the method? Why can't humans have a clear genetic history that goes back to pre-homo sapiens and yet it was God's plan all along.

I mean why can't God be the cosmic que ball. And evolution be Newtonian reactions. I see nothing in Darwinism that even questions God. What I find amazing is any person seeming to understand with great confidence the exact plan of God.

As has been stated, the Bible clearly speaks of a seven-day creation. Evolution doesn't.

Because some people believe that their particular collection of stories is the actual, literal, word of God.

I guess they just *know* this, or something.

As I've stated, hebrew is written in narrative format. The levitical law is written in the same format. To say that the 7-day creation in Genesis is allegorical would be the akin to saying that the Constitution is allegorical or that Federal Statutes are allegorical (admittedly, there are some on the left that believe this).
