No, they're too busy trying to convince politicians that thousands of the smartest people on the planet don't know what the hell they're talking about.

Imagination is more important than intelligence - Albert Einstein.

I would add to that common sense.

And anyone that believes we evolved from single celled life to what you see today via random mutation and natural selection (especially the random mutation part, considering our increased complexity and the larger changes) has neither.

Apothegms are rarely completely true or completely false. Einstein combined imagination with high intelligence. Had he had the latter rather than the former, he probably never would've discovered (say) his general theory of relativity; but had he had the former rather than the latter, he most certainly never would've discovered it.

I'm guessing that you're not a scientist. I'll ask you a question that I asked an earlier poster (who never responded): What is your field of study?

I have a BA in Philosophy and a BS in EE and Design Software.

But I understand science, and its methods, and am not an ID or Creationist, I just do not buy random mutation as a mechanism for biological change, mainly due to the increasing complexity and large changes required to get us from a single cell to here. It seems preposterous on its face from a common sense point of view.

And since science(or scientists) do not equal reality or truth, I think although it may be great science, it does not represent reality in this case.
