I am gratified that there are those who still hold faith in high regard. I too believe that the Lord God Almighty created the Heavens and the Earth. I also believe that the theory of evolution is an acceptable explanation of how God's handiwork functions and adapts to non-optimal conditions.
Further, it is my belief that Intelligent Design is not science in any respect. The very nature of science omits pat answers and ideological cul-de-sacs.
In the final analysis, Intelligent Design is little more than an attempt to "prove" what God demands must be accepted on faith alone. I care not to think of the Lord's response come the final reckoning when these souls stand before him and say, "I believed in you, Lord, because I couldn't think of anything better."
