Glad I made it thru THAT logical quagmire....
You're right, ID or creationism is more faith-based than anything. My own personal belief is that it did not take 6 days, but was more of a long process--our days are not like the Lord's days. As creationists though, we shouldn't base all of our judgement of science just on evolution. Science is an essential part of life and we wouldn't be anywhere without it. Not too many centuries ago, the prevaling religious thought was that the sun orbited the earth.
Actually, while I strongly believe the earth was created, I do think that nobody really knows exactly HOW it was created. We'll all find out someday, but it doesn't cause me sleepless nights wondering exactly how it all began. I have more important things to worry about like now and the future. Whatever happened has already happened.
Can you site one single passage from the bible that can be unquestionably refuted? Just one. You can't, trust me. Do all the resaerch you like. Belief in the bible, from Genesis to maps, scares people like you. Why?
Darwin thinks we all came from 1 celled creatures, each of us was created from 2 cells (sperm and egg).
Darwin believes in accidental creation, I believe in a guided creation.
I think there is a medium to all of this. Evolution has faults and extreme creationism has faults.
I think schools should show the facts and then point out different theories and the reasons behind those theories.
I think an interesting debate for a school would be evolution/intelligent design/creationism.
