1. I'm still not clear on what is the difference is between SETI's search for intelligence communications, which in their mind would prove other beings exists out there and Behe's concept of intelligence and complexity proving a designer here on earth.

2. I am reading everywhere now that Darwin's concepts are an adequate explanation for the origin of life, NOT just its evolved present state. That's new isn't it? Patrick Henry, we've talked about this before and you said, if I remember correctly, that Darwin explains the descent of the species not the origin of life.
For example, from this article: "But Gunn noted that the vast majority of scientists believed in evolution as a proven explanation for the origins of life."
So which is it?

3. What I object to in the persuit of science is the notion that we can explain it all without the need for a Creator. How do we keep science from encroaching into an area that it has no business? You can say that science evolution doesn't speak to the non-existence of a Creator, but very often that is what is being implied and conveyed via the theories(and rabidly atheist teachers). Often evolution is taught with a vengeance toward God, is my point. Are there any curbs in place for that excess?

Some morning thoughts. Unfortunately I cannot sit at my keyboard all day and jabber back and forth. I have to check in as able. So bear with me.

Madness?

The madness is in the rejection of science by the academic dogmatists that promote the faith of evolution over science. To study the arguments made in opposition to telling Kansas students the truth that the evidence (science) opposes the faith of evolution at every turn, is most telling.
