I love the huffing and puffing from the aethiests on anything questioning Darwin's "Theory".

You are factually incorrect. Many Christians support evolution. And many of them don't like non-science taught as fact. Some of them post here.

By the way, Darwin died a long time ago, and his original work is minuscule compared to the modern day evidence we have supporting evolution. He does make a good "boogy man" though, if you want to stir up a crowd and get donation money, like the Discovery Institute and several authors do.

Actually, I am factually correct in my statement. Its just not an all encompassing statement. I am a Christian that believes in evolution as a process that certainly explains some changes in life. I just don't believe that it explains everything. However, to me, it is ultimately the origin of matter, not life that is most revealing.

I was making note that ID has a unique ability to get some people unraveled. I don't really think it has to do with their strict scientific requirements, as I don't see the same posts regarding other scientific theories that don't rise above assertion. 80% of the energy has all the appearances of being simply knee jerk rice bowl defensive tactics, aimed at those who would dare to question the orthodoxy of Darwinian evolution.

Indeed we do.

Indeed we don't.

Indeed we do.

I'm not at all certain that 'many Christians' should not in fact read 'most Christians,' except that (1) I have yet to find a reliable poll on the topic, and (2) what would that prove, anyway?
