If ID is NOT a religious issue...as the ID backers claim
Then why is Pat Robertson spouting off?

Robertson tells Dover, PA citizens, after the election: "Don't turn to God if you need help".

And why does this lunatic SOB have tax exempt status?

13. Here you go:
Theory - A set of statements or principles devised to explain a group of facts or phenomena, especially one that has been repeatedly tested or is widely accepted and can be used to make predictions about natural phenomena.

Dogma - A religious doctrine that is proclaimed as true without proof.

ID is dogma, not theory.

5. When skepticism is renamed ID-the additional items taught must be religious
I don't see any other conclusion.

:-(

(but saying current evolution theory has holes is just speaking truth - and I see no need to pretend there are not holes in current evolution theory)

:-)

:toast:

7. Is he not saying the exact opposite of what God
says? God says to turn to him in times of trouble and Pat R. says not to? Who are you going to listen to? God or Goober?

8. What a piece of crap.
Like he controls access to God now. Since when? I never recall Jesus saying not to turn to God, ever. Hmmm, maybe Pat Robertson is one of those false prophets Jesus warned us about.

10. Careful, Gawd will smite you down for saying things like that.
Ayatollah Robertson warned you. When you've been smitten, don't go crawling to Gawd for relif...call Darwin.
