I find it fascinating that even though evolution has been around for 140 years, pretty much dominating the liberal intelligentsia, including academia and the mainstream media during the 20th century, most of the larger population still don't accept it. That may partly explain why ID caught on so fast, capturing the hearts and the imagination of so many. Frankly, why would anybody want to believe one's existence was an accidental, meaningless blob of cells doomed to ignominious extinction? Get a life.
That's not what TOE says at all. As I have seen many many times in my short time here a good number of Freepers, not to mention Catholics, are devout Christians who also recognize the TOE as being the best explanation for how God created.
