...For most of my life, I believed the answers to these questions were fairly straightforward. Everything that exists is created by a Loving God. That includes rocks, trees, animals, people, really everything. All along I had been well aware that other people, very smart people, believe otherwise. Rather than God's handiwork, they see the universe as the product of random particle collisions and chemical reactions. And rather than regard humankind as carrying the spark of the divine, they believe we are nothing more than mud animated by lightning...

How many straw men are there in The Wizard of Oz?

That’s a powerful Super Trailer. As Stein notes, people who are secure in their beliefs don’t fear criticism.
Well I am no scientist, just just your everyday knucklehead struggling to get by and make sense of this world in which we live. A world in I walk around, with crisis and hate and anarchy whirling about, and I can still see through it all to KNOW that there is absolutely no way “this just happened”
No science, no measuring or monitoring, just knowing in my heart, opps I guess its that dang darwinism instinct kicking in, dang.....
So you’ve seen it already?
I'm glad that Conservatives are finally taking the bull by the horns instead of whining and complaining about Hollywood's lack of effort on such topics.
You would like the subject banned from discussion on FR, wouldn’t you?
Natural selection, mutations, and genetic drift work just fine.
One good example is what is called a ring species. You can see the two different species side by side with all the transitional populations (which we're told can't exist) still living in between them!
Ring species provide unusual and valuable situations in which we can observe two species and the intermediate forms connecting them. In a ring species:
- A ring of populations encircles an area of unsuitable habitat.
- At one location in the ring of populations, two distinct forms coexist without interbreeding, and hence are different species.
- Around the rest of the ring, the traits of one of these species change gradually, through intermediate populations, into the traits of the second species.
A ring species, therefore, is a ring of populations in which there is only one place where two distinct species meet. Ernst Mayr called ring species "the perfect demonstration of speciation" because they show a range of intermediate forms between two species. They allow us to use variation in space to infer how changes occurred over time. This approach is especially powerful when we can reconstruct the biogeographical history of a ring species, as has been done in two cases. Source

BTTT!
Just “Wow!”
Please explain the flagellum motor for the class please, anyone,,,,,,anyone,,,,,,,coyote........
In contrast to Darwinists, who have no propaganda.

Ring Species:
Unusual Demonstrations of Speciation
By Dar(ren E. Ir)win
This is a joke, right?
Really. So there is no desire to shut down scientists who think intelligent design has merit, eh?
I bet those who have been subject to the wrath of Darwinists would beg to differ.
As far as I can tell there is no pursuit of knowledge with intelligent design. ID means "stop looking". Why should science concede an intelligent designer even if there is one?
I must have been absent on the day they said:
“OK we have the answer to everything, you can stop looking, seeking, asking those pesky questions.!”
If you are referring to "irreducible complexity," Behe's claims for irreducible complexity (based on the flagellum and blood clotting) have been refuted in peer-reviewed research papers and rejected by the scientific community at large.
Behe had his chance to make his case in the Dover trial, but couldn't bring any evidence. He was the star witness for his side, and they lost big-time. The judge determined, based on the evidence, that intelligent design is religion.
