he's right. Until ID actually comes up with some type of evidence, it's all conjecture. Regardless of what many of you think, Evolution --as a theory -- does have a lot to back it up.
"Until ID actually comes up with some type of evidence, it's all conjecture."
Actually, the argument here is a little different. Its that ID can't come up with evidence, in the scientific sense, because as a hypothesis it is incomplete.
It says gap in evolution are a result of "intelligent design", but doesn't specify what might cause the design. So ID theory is not a real theory, it doesn't even propose a statment that can be tested. So it is not science. The logical flaw is fundamental.
I have to disagree with this. The Creation belief is held mostly on faith, but not entirely. It does have a 3,000 year old document to "back it up".
(I am NOT making the case that the Old Testament provides us with "proof", but it's time-honored, enduring teaching for over 3,000 years certainly provides affirmation comparable to the interesting but inconclusive evidence the scientist holds).
Evolution, on the other hand, is held entirely as a theory, (though there are many who want to teach it as 'fact', it is far from being scientifically provable).
To date, the scientific evidence supporting evolution is the legal equivalent of 'circumstantial evidence'. The case, (or theory as it may be) has some evidential backing, but absolutely no solid proof.
Thankfully, our society has enough brains and conscience to not convict people of crimes based on circumstantial evidence. The risk of punishing an innocent person is just to great. So why intelligent people chose to believe in the theory of Evolution with great conviction is beyond me; unless, of course, it pleases them to undermine the religious belief.
In any case, it's doubtful that scientists will ever be able to prove our human origin as convincingly, say, as they can prove that gravity exists. Until they do, I think it's an outrage that they try to make Evolution the predominent belief over Creation by teaching it to our school children while banning the teaching of Creation. (This of course shows a huge bias, and shows they are very much afraid of Creation).
Yeah, a lot of shove it down the throats of our children.
