I pity you and clemenza. What does it matter that people believe this? Why does it offend you? Who cares if it does? By what special office do you heap derision on what others believe? If you think they are wack jobs just let it go. For many fundamentalist Christians it is an article of faith. So who are you to denigrate someone's faith?Not denigrate. You are missing the mark here. We (I am including PH here) do not want religion taught as science in the classrooms. The universe is around 13 billion years old, the Earth is around 4.5, and evolution really did happen. Teaching otherwise in a science class is a moral crime IMHO.

Whoops, post 64 was to you as well. I got my own name in there by accident.

Fine. I agree with the dates. That isn't my point. You are the one missing the mark. "Moron" and "knuckle dragger" shows the lack of manners, class, and ability to form a reasoned, mature argument.
Science, by it's own definition, isn't capable of discussing a "Creator". That doesn't mean it isn't factual, or logical, or valid to believe in one. But I see no reason to degenerate into vile behavior in the defense of evolution because of that fact.
Also, Intelligent Design is not necessarily creationism. Connecting the two is not accurate. To persist in the connection is to lose all credibility.
