That's quite funny. And ironic. There are so, so many things wrong with the ID "movement". First and foremost is that it's based on religion. Of course IDers will argue this point, but they are wrong for the same reason ID is: science is about observable, repeatable facts. IDers will bring up physics concepts such as The Big Bang, Inflation, or Dark Matter/Energy as examples of things that can't be seen but are believed to exist. The point they foolishly miss is this: All of those things are predicted by mathematics - equations. God is not predicted by math; at least not in the objective sense. That's not to say that God doesn't exist, just that He's not predicted by math as we know it today. To me, what ID does say is ironically depressing: if God created this universe in which we live, we'll never see him as he must be external to it. While his influence may be felt, we'll never be able to prove his existance. As an analogy think of an ant farm. Even though you built box, filled it with sand, etc, the ants could never you did this. They could never prove you existed. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~| Discover CFTicket - The leading ColdFusion Help Desk and Trouble Ticket application http://www.houseoffusion.com/banners/view.cfm?bannerid=48 Message: http://www.houseoffusion.com/lists.cfm/link=i:5:183528 Archives: http://www.houseoffusion.com/cf_lists/threads.cfm/5 Subscription: http://www.houseoffusion.com/lists.cfm/link=s:5 Unsubscribe: http://www.houseoffusion.com/cf_lists/unsubscribe.cfm?user=11502.10531.5 Donations & Support: http://www.houseoffusion.com/tiny.cfm/54
