Curiosity raises an interesting point - he says simply that it’s not unreasonable for IDers to provide the proof. OK, what about your fossil records?

What about them?

Watch the documentary and watch Prof. Dawkins spew his anti-religious bigotry.

Dawkins' personal opinions on a matter unrelated to his research has no bearing on the merits of his research. And it's his discoveries in the field of zoology, not his anti-religious ravings, that got him his academic position. If you read his academic papers, there's no mention of religion.

Mind you, I don’t care what you believe. I have some atheist friends who I talk “philosophy” with all day long.

I'm a practicing Catholic, FYI.

Also, There’s no chance whatsoever that Darwin saw an “evolution” of a species after on a few years - I’m talking about the birds on the island (I forgot the name of the island).

Of course not. What he found was evidence that suggested a hypothesis to him, for which he found more evidence. After his death, still more evidence validated parts of this hypothesis, and caused other parts to be modified somewhat. But in general the weight of the evidence is strong enough to have caused the hypothesis to graduate to become a working scientific theory.

But it's still a theory that is open the challange. The only problem is that if you want to challange it, you have to produce some evidence, which ID advocates have yet to do. Refusal to take seriously vacuous, evidence-free challanges to a theory can hardly be considered "censorship."

Curiosity, I appreciate your enthusiasm - science is fun! Scientists need to invent a serum which would protect the human nimd from socialist tendencies! LOL!

If you read Darwin carefully, and all the pro-evolutionists carefully - (evolution is inherently philosophical because you’re relying on unprovable premises) and take their writings and words seriously, they start with an anti-religious premise.

If science would stick to proving itself, there would be no argument but when an Texas A&M science professor won’t give a recommendation to a student unless he renounces his belief in Christianity then we have a problem.

Guys, science doesn’t require “belief”.

And also, I’m not an advocate of ID.

As for the fossil records, good luck finding that missing link...

Yours truly,
The Woim

So what to do with scientists that try in vain to produce such “proof” in the future?

It’s forever decided, as far as academic liberals are concerned in this country...you already have the “PROOF” from the algoreacle crowd that this is indeed the tactic from the left when it comes to the hot air cult, do you not?
