Re: I was going to create a topic about intelligent design and creatio
I read your link. It's refreshing that they don't claim fossils are planted by Satan, or that the earth is 6,500 years old. Or that evolution violates the 2nd law of thermodynamics (as a physicist, I still cringe every time I hear that). However, they are still wrong. If you care, the main point of his argument is throughly debunked here:
http://www.evolutionpages.com/Mitochondrial%20Eve.htm Most other creationist assertions are debunked here: http://www.talkdesign.org/ And everything you ever wanted to know about how mainstream science views evolution is found here: http://www.talkorigins.org/ In particular see this page: 29 evidences for 'macroevolution' If you can read the entry on phylogeny, explain it back to me, and still believe in creation, I will be surprised. edit: wait, I take that back. You can believe in creation (as in God created the universe), and also the current scientific view of evolution. Many theists do. When I say creation I mean the arguments of the creationists. Frankly, I'm embarassed for you. The fact that someone needs to believe in young Earth/ man did not evolve stuff belies a lack of imagination, understanding, and open mindedness that God, if he did exist, would be ashamed of. It is entirely plausible, and consistent with the evidence, that God created a functional universe that did its thing perfectly without his intervention.

[ QUOTE ] [ QUOTE ] The theory that the universe was designed and created by an intelligent being is based on science. [/ QUOTE ] What's the theory of Intelligent Design and how can we test it? [/ QUOTE ]For the universe, see my earlier post. For mankind, see here and here. [/ QUOTE ] Thanks, but neither your previous post nor either of those links listed any way in which ID might be tested or falsified. (It's possible I missed it if one of them did, so feel free to quote the relevant section or to describe the test it proposes.) What experiment can we do to test (i.e., subject to potential falsification) the "theory" of ID?
