Quote from Free Thinker:
well the catholic church says there is no science behind id, the scientists say there is no science behind id. the courts say there is no science behind id, most christians say there is no science behind id.
that only leaves a few on the fringe like you who will twist what scientists say is not true into claiming they support your side because you have a need to believe.
"If a man is offered a fact which goes against his instincts, he will scrutinize it closely, and unless the evidence is overwhelming, he will refuse to believe it. If, on the other hand, he is offered something which affords a reason for acting in accordance to his instincts, he will accept it even on the slightest evidence." -Bertrand Russell
you are a complete liar. Which courts - a court? Referring to ID or creationism? The supreme court? which state? Besides why would I care what a judge says when I can study what science says.
Most Christians are clowns like most atheists and every other group....besides I am sure if you phrased the question did a Creator create the universe.... 99% percent would say yes.
Finally, you have the Catholic Church position all wrong...
The catholic church's top tier cardinal Schoonboom says it is an abdication of intelligence to suggest our universe does not appear finely tuned.
I have showed you this quote before read the part about the Cardinal... who is probably the next pope.
"Bernard Carr is an astronomer at Queen Mary University, London. Unlike Martin Rees, he does not enjoy wooden-panelled rooms in his day job, but inhabits an office at the top of a concrete high-rise, the windows of which hang as if on the edge of the universe. He sums up the multiverse predicament: âEveryone has their own reason why theyâre keen on the multiverse. But what it comes down to is that there are these physical constants that canât be explained. It seems clear that there is fine tuning, and you either need a tuner, who chooses the constants so that we arise, or you need a multiverse, and then we have to be in one of the universes where the constants are right for life.â
But which comes first, tuner or tuned? Who or what is leading the dance? Isnât conjuring up a multiverse to explain already outlandish fine-tuning tantamount to leaping out of the physical frying pan and into the metaphysical fire?
Unsurprisingly, the multiverse proposal has provoked ideological opposition. In 2005, the New York Times published an opinion piece by a Roman Catholic cardinal, Christoph Schönborn, in which he called it âan abdication of human intelligence.â That comment led to a slew of letters lambasting the claim that the multiverse is a hypothesis designed to avoid âthe overwhelming evidence for purpose and design found in modern science.â But even if you donât go along with the prince of the church on that, he had another point which does resonate with many physicists, regardless of their belief. The idea that the multiverse solves the fine-tuning of the universe by effectively declaring that everything is possible is in itself not a scientific explanation at all: if you allow yourself to hypothesize any number of worlds, you can account for anything but say very little about how or why."
