"Evolution defense often relies upon attaching any challenge to theology. "

On the contrary, evolution cares nothing for theology, evolution is science, which by definition, cares nothing about theology. Rather, the ONLY people who attack evolution with any vigor, are religious fundamentalists.

"Acknowledging that something unexplained is possible makes jack a frustrated scientist."

Actually this is what drives science...

If man acepted 'magic' as a scientific explanation for natural phenomena, we'd all still be throwing spears at each other.

Actually, I do bring up religion in these Evolution threads. My reason is to pursuade religious people that they really don't want this discussion in government high schools. Because their childrens faith will be challenged, just as I challenge them here.

And my second point is to challenge their belief in a specific interpretation of Genesis. That book of the Bible is very confusing and contradictory. And although they've been told that the Bible is perfect and non-contradictory, I try to make them see that any direct reading of the clear text of the Bible really is.

My goal is to make believers conclude that allowing Evolution to fit in Genesis is the path of least resistance.

You offer "evolution" as an entity. I mentioned "evolution defense", which is a man-made (and faith-based, I might add) process. You're changing the subject. Platitudes and canned buzzwords do not suffice.

"Science" may not. But evo-worshipers do. It has become their theology, and they pervert science by supporting it in dogmatic fashion.

non-sequitor. Surely you can do better than that. The subject was ID.
