Okay. So why do the scientists keep crying foul! They deny the supernatural is possible, but yet cannot prove that. They belittle those with faith, calling that faith "stupidity", or "flat-earth" syndrome. Folks are being force-fed evolution, but many are not stupid enough to accept something simply because someone with credentials tells them to believe it. Believe it or not, most Christians are not Christians because someone told them to believe.

There are holes in the evolutionary theory. Period. While remaining a theory, other avenues should be explored, one of which is intelligent design. Those choosing to explore this avenue should not be belittled because they are thinking out of the "scientific" box.

Beep. Circle takes the square. Science says, by definition, the supernatural is untestable (if it was testable, it would be natural). It does not say the supernatural is impossible -- in general it has very little to say in regard to the supernatural.

.Just because the theory of evolution has holes it cannot be rejected. Consider it incomplete, like many other scientific theories.

Intelligent Design is a fancy way of saying, “Gee, I don’t understand. It must be magic.” It is not “out of the box”, it rejects the basic tenets of science and replaces them with the supernatural

“I don’t understand, therefore, He Is.” is not science. It's magic.

(I’m not hostile to anyone who wants to explore I.D., just don’t call it science.)
