I want to comment on one part of your post:
>>
Many of the pro-evolutionists here were really exposed for being quite angry and vitriolic.
Many were also exposed as being smug and condescending, to say the least.<<
That is what happens on every single Evolution/ID thread. That is why I don't frequent them any more. I've spent more time on this one than all the others put together for at least the last six months. And they are right that SOME of the quotes are dubious, but some are spot on.
They consider themselves to be truly superior to the ID people and it is called pride - the most dangerous of sins. It was Satans undoing and the undoing of famous men like Hitler, Stalin and Saddam.
It is there in all men to one degree or another at one time or another. I have exposed it in myself from time to time on these threads. You see, these evolutionists think science and knowledge trump all else, where I, as a Christian, believe faith in God trumps all else.
History is on my side...
In order to be a Christian, you have to believe the men that wrote the "word of God".
It's called knowledge. Any person knowledgeable in their field will get their dander up with some newbie shows up to tell them they're wrong.
If I showed up in a Christian preachers summit and started to tell them they're wrong about their faith because I took an Old Testament History class at Oklahoma Baptist University 25 years ago, they would get mad at me too.
Get real.
Your tag line says it all- But Evolutionist do not try to answer the "why" question, But IDs insist on answering the "how" and "why".
Yes. The Catholic church now accepts science and evolution, unlike the "old" days.
You see, these evolutionists think science and knowledge trump all else, where I, as a Muslim, believe faith in Allah trumps all else.
All Fundamentalism is the same
