“He does agree that the world is billions of years old and that all life did originate from a common ancestor, because “overwhelming anatomical, genetic, and fossil evidence exists for that claim.”

Page 8 of 31 describing Behe’s work.
So, Dr. Behe believes the world is billions of years old and that dictates what the ID mantra has to be? While I agree with quite a bit of what Dr. Behe posits, this in no wise dictates that ID holds to the exact same thing. From what I have read, there are many threads within the ID community.
Further, this has little to nothing to do with what we were discussing.
Good side thread, though. Thank you for the information.
I gave you the ID site! So you know more about ID than they do? Additionally, Mr. Behe was the prime witness for the ID movement in the Dover trials! Mr. Behe is additionally the number one expert at the Discovery site which is also probably the number one promoter of ID.
It has everything to do with what we were discussing. That of God as a designer which you brought up.
LOL!!!
Please show me one that holds differently. I won't hold my breath.
Wouldn't/Hasn't God made allowances for that?
I ask how much science education people like you and GGG (Mr. Spam)have because I want to know how much “ammunition” you are armed with in this debate.
I have a PhD in molecular biology, now tell us your backgrounds.
Okay. How is that any of my concern? Dr. Behe is far more educated than I and I have read a good deal of his beliefs in the "Case for a Creator" book. His belief that we came from some common ancestor is not necessarily the ID movements core tenet. The ID site says nothing about it that I can find.
No, that is slight of hand on your part. You transited from my belief in God as designer to my having to now be in accord with the ID movement. Bad form.
I think you have missed the irony tag in some of my postings. I don’t have a PhD in anything, but I don’t have a fight with those who do. I find it amusing that so many people on FR think they are qualified to judge all of science.
Even folks like Michael Behe don’t try that.
Still waiting, but NOT holding my breath for you link.
Still waiting, but NOT holding my breath for you link.
You ask for me to provide a link to back up my position and I give you several. I ask you to return the favor and I get “No replies”. Thanks.
My apologies for being tardy to respond, but when the Marine Corps says 'go run', I go run.
what link? What is it you want?
Why are you getting snippy? You have not asked a question that I can provide a link to, that I can recall.
Do you have such a short memory or is it only selective recall. You said that there were many ID sites that did not support evolution. I asked you to provide a link.
