Why would I want fossils destroyed? That's a ridiculous assumption on your part. I think science is great. But I also understand how it changes so I'm not too worried about evolution. It will eventually be proven that humans didn't descend from ape-like creatures.
OH I am sooo sorry... but wasn't it you who said "As long as we win in the end..."? Hey... what do you know you DID say that? I am sure the Taliban, Stalin, Pol Pot, and many more have said the same thing. Normally people who make such statements don't give damned about truth and often go out of their way to rid themselves of any opposition to their beliefs. Sorry... I am always so cynical of those who are truth stompers but you see... that is how I see ID'ers... I see them as wanting to indoctrinate everyone into their cult.
Now you know what... if a scientist actually proposed a theory that was different from Evolution but explained what we see in the fossil record and what we see today that is perfectly fine. But to say... we are all designed by an Intelligent Designer...and the proof is what? NOTHING? And then you use political pressure and bullying tactics to push that as an equivalent theory to Evolution in public schools and complain when scientists won't give you the time of day... Well... you are no more scientific than PT Barnum in my book. How simple must I explain this?
"It will eventually be proven that humans didn't descend from ape-like creatures."
I guess you're entitled to your dreams.....
