The religious right should be fighting better battles than this one.(loud whisper----the euthanasia battle, as well as abortion) Although I believe in God and agree that Darwin's theory of evolution is only a theory--intelligent design is basically a faith question trying to pass itself off as science.
No, it isn't...intelligent design is just that, the proposition that the evolutionary process was possibly assisted by an outside power. Taht power NEED not be god, Intelligent design attacks the dogmatic adherence to Darwinism, in the face of good questions. Darwinism is offered up as the answer to all questions. I for one, do not beleive for one moment in the 6 day creation, or any of the Old Testament stories of creation, I find it incredible, but on the other hand for Darwin to come along and close the door to all debate is nothing short of intellectual thuggery. Many of the proponents and supporters of ID are indeed, creationists, but most of them are like me. Regular attendees of the Church of the Big Bang, that have many questions and don't like the thug posted at the door to the classroom, be he Creationist or Darwinist.
