Yes indeed, you see it's a little thing called actually having faith.

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."

The problem is that evolution in the scientific sense isn't what's being taught in schools.

Were it that only the factual evidence surrounding evolution was being taught it would be one thing but instead children are being taught philosophy by their science teachers, and numerous times they're even being taught dated false evidence for evolution.

If that is the norm already, then there's little harm diversifying it.
