ID supporters, read, weep, and ..........

Sounds like a bunch of tree-hugging hippy crap, to me.

And with that, you underline why any intelligent discussion is impossible with your brand of religious ignorance.

I like trees,but u wont find me hugging them.Just go to Ravenna,the whole little city is full of them.Sometimes i want to take my chainsaw and terrorize those hippies at Kent State university,but i think there is a law against that.

But in your mind, you will justify anything and co-opt it to your belief in god.

Even if your legs were blown off, you'd somehow attach it to your god's will.

Religious faith is just mental illness and sick egotism in my view.

Of course, feel free to disgaree.

Are you interested in actually discussing something in a civil manner, or just petty insults? I really can't find anything worth discussing in your post, all I see is your usual insulting and flaming.

fine.

But do you still believe ID is a scientific theory or not ?

I don't care. With all this determination by certain individuals to prove that Intelligent Design is or is not a "scientific theory" defeats the purpose of God in the first place. God does not want us to be able to prove or test His creation, because that would eliminate the need for faith, and faith is central to the Christian belief.

I got a idea in responding to petty insults and uncivil mannerism.

Respond with kindness and humour.

ID is not a matter of science, it is a matter of faith. I do happen to believe that God created the earth, and that the earth is in fact as old as science says it is. Genesis and evolution are 100% compatible, so that's not an issue for me.

What IS an issue for me is what those folks over in Kansas are doing (thank God I live in Missouri!) with ID and schools. In a PUBLIC school system I personally think the best approach would be to teach what is known and reasonably accepted to be true (evolution occured) and leave the "why" for the pupils to decide. Don't force down their throats that it was totally random and no intervention happened because that cannot be proven. Don't force down their throats that God guided it because that cannot be proven either. Just explain what evolution is and that it occurs and leave it at that.

Or is that too reasonable to be acceptable?

P.S. - The thread title could have been a bit less antagonistic.
