Judaism, Christianity, Islam, Hinduism, and Buddism all believe in a higher power. Intelligent design is a generic idea saying a higher power is involved in our existance. What percentage of the global population already believes this?
Common sense is not your enemy.
Intelligent Design does not say that a higher power is involved in our existence, it says that a higher power created the world as it is, in situ. This is not supported by the evidence, but that doesn't stop those misguided who believe that their religion says something it doesn't say. In fact, it's odd that Intelligent Design is probably the only thing wackjobs of all stripes agree on, from Osama bin Laden to the Raelians.
Common sense says the sun revolves around the earth. Skepticism about common sense is not the enemy. Not being curious about the way things work is the enemy.
Moral Absolutes Pinger.
Hmmm - Intelligent Design is spreading about like the sweet smell of roses carried by the breeze.
Freepmail me if you want on/off this pinglist.
Or like the early light coming from the sun, even though it is not yet risen.
Look outside and common sense says that the earth is flat.
