"Oh? If evolution is accepted as viable then you can negate the Book of Genesis."

I do not believe that your faith is that fragile that it requires the reversal of a scientific theory. Evolution is not and has never been a threat to Genesis. This is why I am so angry with the promotion of this ID nonsense. Some people are setting this up so that kids are having to make a choice between science and faith. And, it is my experience that the bright, curious minded kids are choosing science.

I don't think ID is a problem for science. I think ID is a serious problem for our faith communities. Now is the time for people of faith to step up and hold the promoters of ID to their word. ID is not about faith or about God. It is a scientific theory. And, if it is proved true than we go back to say Aristotle was right, there is a prime mover. Neither ID or evolution has any real significance for people of faith.

"Oh? If evolution is accepted as viable then you can negate the Book of Genesis."

Do you not understand how profoundly offensive ID is to many people of faith? The promoters of ID believe themselves responsible to sneak God through the side door of scientific debate. And, in the debate they have promoted with the scientific community they don't even have the courage of their faith to use the name of God in their writing.

But, in doing this they reduce God to a mere scientific formulation. So, if ID does not prove out as a viable scientific theory does that mean that God does not prove out? Absolute rubbish, total nonsense! As a person of faith I am offended by the vanity of the promoters of ID.
