well, the argument is this: the natural world is intelligent. It does order itself, at every condition. And life is apart of that order, permitting certain conditions.

And those conditions, in an infinite universe, are not only possible, but inevitable.

Which again, agrees 100% with what the Bible tells us of G-d.

Don't let a lack of evidence slow you down.

How much evidence was there for phlogiston?

how much was there?

Fine -- then argue that marrying your sister will produce healthy offspring.

how is this evidence that dna used to be "pure" and free of the hazards of monoculturalization within the gene pool?

Obviously you haven't read my profile, have you?

no. Do you always make a case without presenting case evidence?

As far as I know I have; and I'm upfront in calling what I believe "faith" and what you guys believe "faith" as well.

Too bad you guys won't reciprocate, but I understand why you are not about to.

We know you believe that. It is a psychological condition called "projection". This is where you project your own faults onto others.

The theory of evolution is based on evidence, not faith. Those are the facts. Believing otherwise does not change the facts.

Johnson was the architect of the Wedge Strategy:

Wedge strategy - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

"In its earliest days the intelligent design movement was called the 'wedge movement'. The wedge metaphor, attributed to Johnson, is that of a metal wedge splitting a log and represents using an aggressive public relations programme to create an opening for the supernatural in the public’s understanding of science."
Phillip E. Johnson - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

ID is and always was a political movement. It was never a scientific theory, and it is still not a scientific theory.

This is what Forrest was referring to. Johnson is the father of the modern ID political movement. It is most fitting that the leader of the ID movement is a lawyer and not a scientist.

faith isn't evidence, sorry.

Just because you have faith that rainbows are unicorn farts, doesn't make it so....

Why are you backsliding on this whole faith thing? It really isn't hard, if you don't have a need to feel that everyone believes what they do for the same reasons you do.

1. If evolution is falsified we will abandon it. One does not abandon faith.
2. Scientists of every religion accept evolution.
3. Evolution has no diety, no prayers, no afterlife, no hierarchy.

If you wish to include the pizza delivery boy under your umbrella of "faith," go right ahead. Keep in mind it makes your own faith in Jesus a casual and mundane thing.
