Looks like this article about defensive Darwinists brought a few of them out of the woodwork. It's hard to argue against intelligent design when so much evidence for it is all around. For every atom that does not disintegrate or change properties randomly they have to give an answer that has the appearance of science. Actually, they do not have an answer other than a catch-all answer: anything-but-intelligence! Faith is a good thing, but not when it's blind.

There's a disturbing conviction that Christians shouldn't be allowed to open their mouths. They seem ignorant of the fact that the whole history of western science, with extremely few exceptions, was Christian, right down to the middle of the nineteenth century. Modern science would have nothing to build on without the work of those early Christians.

Even Darwin, paradoxically, builds his theory of evolution on an "evolutionary tree" that is indistinguishable from what earlier was known as the Great Chain of Being and seen as evidence of divine rule. The very idea of lower and higher life forms was originally religious, although it can be disguised by substituting terms like simple and complex.

Care to elaborate?

On the surface, this is one of the silliest posts I have read this morning.
