You said: That is what the creos/ID'ers are pushing. Just stop the progress and say God did it. Stupid.

Other than Scientologists, few believers in God suggest scrapping all science and research, at least few that I know of.

And not responding to your thread, but others who attack ID by saying that if God had created life, He would have done a better job than He did, I am not so sure. God could have created a world in which there was no death, no pain, nothing negative. Would that have been a better world? Depends on what you think is good. Those of us who believe in God and study our faith (at least those with whom I worship) don't think that life was created for Man, but rather for God. The true good in the world always, or nearly so, comes out of the bad. Healing out of illness; Generosity out of want, etc.

He might have called it "Eden."
