>”Sources?”

Exactly. There are no sources because there are no material contributions by ID people to recent scientific body of knowledge. All they do is to insult Christianity by taking allegorical parts of the bible and using them to attack our grandest Western achievements - namely the scientific theory.

The scientific theory itself is a product of our Christian past, as some people already pointed out. And it is not mutually exclusive with the Darwinian theory of evolution.

A Christian scientist who endorses the scientific theory is not in the same league with a proponent of Intelligent Design. There is a distinction that’s lost on many people. ID is comparable to Astrology or Scientology insofar as the claims go. Even the Catholic Church rejects ID on grounds that it’s too ridiculous to be taught as science. ID and Creationism harm Christianity because they promote lifefless, bloodless deism which is worse than atheism.

BTW, welcome to FR as well.

The only people insulting Christianity are the hardcore evos.

Creationism doesn't harm Christianity because the same Bible that tells us about Christ, tells us about God creating the universe and everything in it. As a matter of fact, Jesus Himself refers several times to creation and the creation account.

Your initial comment was: "I don’t know, I’ve yet to see a single contribution by Creationists and ID people to science. ". Now you're just claiming that it's IDers? Why are you changing your story?

ID and Creationism harm Christianity because they promote lifefless, bloodless deism which is worse than atheism.

How so?
