>>>Indeed. Why would a Darwinist become a doctor? If you're ill or weak, that's just because you are genetically inferior! Nobody should bother to help you; instead, we should just let natural selection take over. Survival of the fittest, and all that.
Why would a IDer become a doctor? If you're ill or weak, that's just because that was the will of the designer! Nobody should bother to help you; instead, we should just follow the designers plan. He/she/it is the intelligent one, and all that.
That's a ridiculous strawman. We have the power to change what characteristics we select for. You want examples? Near-sightedness and childhood diabetes. Until the invention of eyeglasses and insulin, people with both characteristics were naturally selected against and often died in childhood. Now they're not, and the allele frequencies of those particular traits are much higher. Its not that near-sighted people are less fit than those with 20-20, its that they used to be less fit, but now (thanks to medicine, eyeglasses, large print) they're not.
Evolution is just a theory, why do its opponents always seem to label it "Darwinism" like it's an ideology? You can accept evolution in biology and still believe in a personal God. I do.
