So has the religious right given up on Adam and Eve and Noah's Arc?

Why is Pat Robertson so upset about voters rejecting a theory he doesn't even believe in? Doesn't he realize Intelligent Design contradicts the Creation theory?

What a dumb ass!

1. There is a Design Flaw in the ID approach. If this Universe was designed

as it appears to us....why so large?

And why would anyone want to talk to us Humans who are flawed as hell.?

If anything, we are a cancer on this Planet....just look at what we are doing to harm our one known Home....Earth.

5. not to defend ID, but I have an alternate suggestion...

The universe is a petri dish for life. Now, you can argue that someone made the petri dish or it just appeared, but since we exist, we know that life is possible, and that even on one planet it is amazingly diverse. When you consider there are 6,000 different kinds of beetle....then hey, howdy! life is spectacular thing. It is also a diverse, resilient and precocious thing.

Therefore, If the universe is a large petri dish, being a larger one or smaller one does not imply anything one way or the other. Different cultures can grow in different areas of the same petri dish. Or just one. Doesn't invalidate that life is a cool thing whether it exists in multiple locations or just one.

Humans might be a cancer on this planet, but if you understand the Gaia theory, the planet itself, as an ecosystem is a lifeform.

that's how I view it, anyhow.

I personally am a liberal christian, who feels the petri dish was created, but that life flourishes or dies based on its own mechanics.

7. I too use the Petri dish anology...God is waiting to see what comes

out of the Universe....benevolent ot canceresque? Positive or Negative?

3. would that be Noah the Mathematician?

or the one that built the ark? :)

4. Please!

With talk like that, Pat/God Robertson might get angry with you. I'm not saying that a tv is going to drop out of space on your head, but if it does, it's probable because of careless talk about Pat/God. Or, a pack of rabid dogs may attack your community. Would you like that? Of course not. Please send $1000 to Pat/God, as a sort of moral insurance.

8. ID doesn't contradict Genesis.

It creates a facade behind which to try to hide Genesis from the courts, in hopes of introducing it into science class.

Yes, if you take ID seriously, it's lousy religion: an incompetent, not intelligent, designer has to step in repeatedly to correct past mistakes. But that is just the window dressing. Behind that lurks Creationism.

[HawkerHurricane]

9. Nope.

After they lose thier court case in Dover PA, they'll come up with a new name for the literal Biblical Genesis that they want to teach, and it will start again.

Genesis
Creationism
Creation Science
Intelligent Design
