Same story in a new location.

On one side you have the anti Intelligent Design Theory people who can present scientific facts that back up their position. They have no problem understanding the other sides position since they are human also and are susceptible to the same influences. Don't think they don't wish in their hearts for "pie in the sky". They however have been able to look at matters as they are, and not how they wish they could be.

On the other side, you have the Intelligent Design advocates who usually can demonstrate only their ignorance of scientific matters. They look at a structure like the eye and think how could something this complex evolve. Do they take the time to go on the net or find a book that shows the evolution of the eye step by step? No, they would rather wallow in their ignorance and remain in the dark ages.

They will say that some scientist doesn't believe in evolution and use them as a source of authority. If they knew their history, they would know that at one time the majority of scientists didn't believe man would ever be able to fly. Yet here we are with millions of people flying every year. Just because someone is termed scientist doesn't make him the authority. Scientific authority is arrived at by a consensus of scientists which in itself is constantly evolving as new theories are confirmed or negated by scientific studies.

One important thing to remember in this evolution vs God controversy is that religion (the idea of God or Gods) has had a big head start. It is only recently, the last few hundred years, that the sciences have really been able to begin to brush away the fog that is man's ignorance of the universe about us. The Intelligent Design theory is just religion's latest attempt to hold back the tide that is sweeping away all that they once held as truth. The Catholic Church no longer disputes that evolution is a fact. Think about that for a bit. This is the same organization that once tortured, burned, and hung people for believing anything but strict canon.

There is no evidence of a creator, I repeat; THERE IS NO EVIDENCE!!!
And yes, I have looked at so called evidence that makes the objections presented here seem like the simple nitpicking of schoolkids that they are.I say to you nitpickers, "Until you have really read the literature and understand what the Theory of Evolution is about, you are only displaying your ignorance."
