and you are partially right when you say
the fact that liberals have taken evolution from a good, current theory to unassailable fact should give you pause.
yes they have grabbed hold of it as their own, but I dont accept it as their own.
from what I have seen, Intelligent Design ( large ‘I large ‘D’) as practiced by some is bogus.
Believe that God created everything, but don't try to make square pegs fit into round holes, to fit your preconceived ideas.
Be careful as some have tried to co-op ID as something it is not.....possibly evolutionists trying to be agent provacateurs.
If you study Behe and the original ID theory, you will find it is rooted in good science and is offered as something to consider, not as the be-all, end-all.
The neat part of ID (for me) is that there are mechanisms found in lifeforms that act very much like sophisticated computer programs. As someone who enjoys order, I can relate easier to that than random change.
