This is why the evolution fight is stupid for Christians to pursue. All it can do is tear the best and brightest away from the church and alienate the rest into a persecution complex cult.
The Discovery Institute is doing professional atheists a huge favor.
I totally disagree. The more I look at nature and the complexity of it and the human body and mind, the more convinced I am of God. It is not logical to think that such variety of life could be a random happening. Randomness usually does not create order and I have not yet seen proof that God did not create the universe and everything in it. Mankind has come so far in just the past 100 years that I have serious doubts than humans have been "evolving" over millions of years. The fact that plants and animals are able to adapt in such a variety of ways definitely makes me think there must be some "intelligence" involved. It just makes sense.
It's already happening, according to their own numbers, 88 percent of the children raised in evangelical homes leave church at the age of 18, never to return.
Their Anti-Evolution stance is probably a significant factor (I'm sure hucksters like Pat Robertson, Jerry Falwell and other televanglist do their part in contributing to those numbers) and if they continue with this ID nonsense things can only get worse.
