This is false. Evolution was arrived at, and is solely supported, by reason. Intelligent design, like creationism, is Christian apologetics.
Neither is proven.
This much may be granted.
That's why both should be taught in schools and left wide open for discussion.
That would be fine by me, but be careful what you wish for. I remember many years ago sitting at a lunch table after everybody else had left, when a colleague opined that somebody must have found the theory of evolution written on a roll of toilet paper. My thought at the time was, "Why am I the one sitting here taking this?"
Whoa! You'd better do some homework there, dr_lew.
The original purpose of evolution was to find a way to explain origins WITHOUT miracles...........to debunk Genesis.
That's not 'reason.' That's agenda.
