IMHO neither side has the truth, the whole truth, and nothing but the truth.

Well, logically speaking, I do not think that the above can be true. If there is no God as materialistic/evolution claims, then intelligent design would be impossible. If there is a God then the ridiculous assumptions of matter changing itself by evolutionists must be false. This is not really a scientific argument at all but a theological one and therefore cannot be half true/half false.

I take your point, gore3000, but would qualify it. What I was driving at was the idea that both sides of the evo-crevo debate seem to depend on doctrinal formulations to make their respective cases. Eric Voegelin has pointed out that doctrines often operate as "reality substitutes" which, by hypostasizing truth, tend to deform it.
