Really? So a theist can't reserve his faith for his religion, and also practice logical and critical thinking to the world and within the rigid limits of science...
"The Mathematical Impossibility Of Evolution
Share this Articleby Henry Morris, Ph.D. "
when the bible was written what was the mathematical possibility that a doctor would take a heart out on one man and put it in another?
you think scientists should work with these people? how do you work with people looking for scientific truth when one side believes this:
"if conclusions contradict the word of God, the conclusions are wrong no matter how many scientific facts may appear to back them."
If previous scientific conclusions, like the sun revolving around the earth (early science) are rendered false by current science, then why would any reasonable man not think that any particular scientific truth of today may be rendered false by some future scientific discovery...
Which would lead a reasonable man to never say he knows the truth on the basis of science, but rather that he believes...

Bingo. The entire problem with ID is that it is classic God of the gaps: "This particular thing looks too complicated to understand, ergo God done it." With that mindset, there would be no such thing as scientific progress. Why bother trying to figure anything out, when somebody could always simply dismiss it with "God done it"?
ID isn't a scientific theory, it's a cop-out; it's an excuse for a lazy so-called "biologist" to not try to figure out how life got here.
Most of all, it still doesn't answer the question of the origins of life. Because it still doesn't explain where the I in the ID came from. It's a childish rationale to not think. I've learned to never trust people who tell me not to think. That always works to somebody else's advantage, not mine.

It was 100% possible. Whether the guy lived or not was another story.:eek:
I don't believe all ID types would say, damn the science if it proves me wrong. Me...I'm just seeking the truth and wherever it leads, it leads. And the truth as of today, 12.1.09 is that there isn't a soul on the planet that knows for sure whether God exists or not, except for the crazies, of which there are plenty on both sides of the argument.
