The theory of evolution is basically a denial that there is ANY intelligence in the universe. It requires that a Boeing 747 be regarded as a product of blind chance. Why? Because if all of nature operates according to blind mechanism, natural selection, and inexplicable mutations, then there is no reason or guiding intelligence ANYWHERE in the process from the pre-biotic soup all the way to the 747.

Evolution theory is no such thing. It may be true that many evolutionists go all they way and assert that there is no God, but that is their religious belief, not science. Scientific evolutionary theory merely tries to establish the physical processes that have resulted in the bioligical diversity that we observe today. Even Darwin acknowledged that God might be behind it all, but that is the province of religion.

That is really the problem with ID advocates. ID seeks to establish that there is an ultimate cause, which is not a scientific proposition because it can't be proven or disproved. It is a religious proposition. It may very well be true, and you and I may think so, but let's keep it out of science. Let's be realistic. ID proponents are really antievolutionists. ID is an attack on science, period.

There's certainly none in your post...

"The theory of evolution is basically a denial that there is ANY intelligence in the universe."

What is the definition of intelligence?

Actually it fits quite well with those who see themselves as gods...the suprior elitist intellectuals of this country...for as you say...if all is chance, than how could we be so lucky to have the likes of the Clintons? Unless of course they were gods...or god like...

Of course if there is a real god or super intelligence...that makes all men who lust for the power of a god SOL...

They seek to control the realm of incredibility, by being the only ones qualified to define it.

This is a self-evidently stupid statement.

Evolution by natural selection explains precisely HOW complexity can emerge from random changes. Natural selection acts as the "ratchet," favoring certain changes over others.

If you don't understand this, you're too ignorant to be making public comments on the subject. And if you do understand it, then you're deliberately lying and will go to Hell when you die.

Educate yourself, so that you will not be condemned to remain ignorant.
