"........Unfortunately for evolutionists their recent beliefs have been challenged on interesting grounds. A new theory has come about to challenge the blind faith orthodoxy of the evolutionists, that theory is intelligent design. ........."

So what the author is saying is that "Evolutionary Theory" can be overturned by the mere postulation of an opposing "Creationist Theory".

Apparently the author hasn't read 'The Structure of Scientific Revolutions' by Thomas Kuhn. If he/she/it had read it then he/she/it would know that THAT is not how Science works. A 'Theory' (or 'Paradigm' in Kuhn's esteemed work) is overturned by the accumulation of observations that cannot be accounted for by the existing Theory or Paradigm, NOT by the simple positing of another speculative Theory.

Everyone knows that Creationists don't publish experiments and data to back up their Theory, but instead spew bilge, lapped up by the ignorant, and repeated by even more ignorant people in Chat Rooms. Oh well. [/heavy sigh]

Its really too bad that this crap has to be pushed on FreeRepublic to make the members here look like idiots in attempts to destroy this site and the Conservative Movement by these Trolls. [/another heavy sigh]

You speak of evolution as if it is a proven fact. It is not a fact. It is merely a scientific theory (or guess with a lot of flaws). The fact that you treat it as fact makes you look very ignorant to those of us that know it is not.

Fascinating observation, the theory of intelligent design has been offered and rather than addressing it, evolutionists simply attack it. And understandably so. If the support for intelligent design continues to grow, it spells the end of the cult of evolution. The secular fundamentalist opiate for the atheists will cease to exist.

So then, oh sagacious one, do you extend the SAME assumption to intelligent design (rhetorical question here, evolutionists do not do so!)...

Admit it, you don't like intelligent design because it explains the gaps that evolution will never be able to address.
