I’m tired of these atheists’ knocking on my door holding the Book of Darwin
The THEORY of evolution. Hey, Nice THEORY! No, really – a beautiful story about how man might have been created. The Darwin bible though has been interpreted by many to ‘soot’ their own beliefs. They preach this stuff as it were fact and leave out the most important word of any THEORY - the word ‘IF’.
I mean you never hear them say, “IF’ the Evolution of life on earth proceeded in two stages: chemical and biological. Life on earth must have developed from inorganic materials- what else was there for it to come from? The first stage in the development of life, therefore, was the production of a reproducing cell from materials at hand on the early earth. This process is called chemical evolution.... Once a living, reproducing system was present, the process of natural selection took over to produce the wide variety of life that exists today. This from the gospel of evolution.
They state this mumbo jumbo as if it were fact. They always leave out ‘IF’. I mean, it’s a darn THEORY isn’t it? Heck, they even ridicule those who believe otherwise. They hide behind this so called faith in Darwin. Although Darwin was just a prophet of ‘their’ science.
Hey, don’t get me wrong, I appreciate science. I even think that evolution is an interesting THEORY – but why should we preach about Darwin in our schools. I mean evolution is thoroughly compatible with religion-when the object of worship is evolution; and we must keep a separation between religion and state. It doesn’t say that in the Constitution, but hey, it sounds like a darn good idea!
Don’t get me wrong, some evolutionists are starting to understand Intelligent Design. But there is still a majority that thinks evolution has somehow disproved the existence of God. Wow, even their prophets Darwin and Nietzsche understood the dangers that posed.
I am an American and believe that everyone should worship as they chose, but keep your Darwin propaganda out of my child’s school and my country’s laws. It's like some kind of ACLU / 700 club.
Ohh, That's good. Follow the masses?
When did that happen? I studied both science and philosophy, I still have God.
Science of course, where it belongs.
Within twenty years "Intelligent design theories" will be taught along side of "evolutionary theories" as a matter of a complete education
I know you have a problem seeing it as science because of your bias, but evolution went though the same process. What did it take, almost sixty years.?
No, you are missing the point. The point is "theory" does not mean unproven. Even an accepted explanation is still a theory.
It's actually a tad late tonite for most of them, I suspect, but they'll probably give this thread a look-see in the AM. The real shame of it is that these are the same arguments that have been dealt with dozens of times on earlier threads. The posters change; but the arguments remain constant.
What are you talking about? It's a word, of course it's defined by man!
You didn't understand what the word means. A "theory" can be true and still be a theory. You tried to use the word "theory" as an argument, and it was wrong. Face it and move on.
Cool, what kind of experiments are being conducted? What new discoveries are on the horizon? What engineering applications do you for see?

You confuse me with someone else. I know nothing of "Intelligent design theories".
God bless you all!
I could ask the same questions for evolution.
Evolution is a theory based on biology, chemistry, geology. They are based on physics and math. I believe that lots of medicine and virology is based on theorys of evolution. Animal husbandry, nutrition, etc.
The relevant question is to ask for a simple dozen articles on ID written in mainstream refereed science Journals. No one has ever met that challenge, for the simple reason that ID isn't yet to the stage where it meets the criteria for being a scientific theory.
