"When I joined I didn't think they were about bashing evolution," Davidson said. But he was shocked when he realized that the Discovery Institute was calling evolution "a theory in crisis," according to the Times. "It's laughable: There have been millions of experiments over more than a century that support evolution," he said. "There's always questions being asked about parts of the theory, as there are with any theory, but there's no real scientific controversy about it." Finally, Davidson said, "It just clicked with me that this whole movement is wrongheaded on all counts." Just bringing this into the text of this (these) thread(s).
I don't think my views on religion and evolution are of the ID train of thought, but I'd like an outside opinion. In my post on another thread I give this short description of my view:
" There are many of us who are very comfortable with the idea that God created the universe and everything in it. Evolution is part of that creation. So is the big bang" [Big Bang].Any comments would be appreciated.
Your view sounds to me very like mainstream Christian scientists.
Nothing at all in evolution precludes God. I don't have enough understanding of cosmology to comment there.
My impression of the anti-evolution posters is that many of them have some weakness of Faith and would like to somehow do away facts that present a challenge.
Most of the Genesis literalists I know personally wouldn't bother posting arguments since their belief is a true act of faith. They are quite comfortable learning what scientists believe, or, as you do, see the two as compatible.
You'll get no argument from me.
That sounds a lot like Kenneth Miller's view too.
