Darwin being wrong does not automatically make ID correct anymore than claiming that a fish can’t ride a bicycle proves the Earth is not flat. This is just simply another case where correlation does not imply causation.

Whoever suggested that this thread be filed under religion was correct.

Explain a universe that does not have an intelligent design or pattern? That can’t be done within empirical science. Science (or scientific materialism) cannot explain away intelligent causation or claim to have certain knowledge regarding lack of purpose in the cosmos. The whole thing is based on philosophical errors. A scientific model which claims to explain the biochemical processes or natural history of the evolution of the universe or primates does not answer the question about the meaning or purpose of the universe or human life. So the scientists who make such claims are doing what? Not science. Prehistoric monkey bones do not explain human life or human nature. And that is the claim - that human life can be explained purely in terms of natural processes by scientific materialism. There is no epistemological event which provides sufficient data for such an explanation. It’s just a model.

The thread is actually about how people respond to polls in UK and what that might mean.

That is not religion!

When posters bring religion into such a thread, that doesn't change the nature of the initial categorization ~ for example, you wouldn't be able to change a discussion of totalitarianism as a political structure simply by noting that Joe Stalin had been a seminarian.
