Why Intelligent Design Will Win

[2funny2c]

Was there a purpose to this post?

I was agreeing with you that the Catholic church has many "interesting" positions. And their position on ID is another "interesting" viewpoint from the Vatican.

That, and we haven't had a good Catholic bashing thread in at least a couple weeks.

But Alex said he closed down the thread at the request of the original poster of the thread.

As far as the Catholic Church is concerned, they have so many non-biblical and extra-biblical practices going on that their opinion on ID lacks any shred of credibility.

Yippee! It's time for our biweekly Catholic Bashing thread!
Not quite sure why extra biblical traditions are bad..The Jewish faith is based on them ..Not sure wher ein the Christian bible it says that anything non-biblical is crap

I didnt bring the Catholic Church into this thread. Thank your buddy for that one. You know where you stand with him.

Do you have a purpose in mind for posting this thread and what discussion are you trying to foster??? We are watching this thread and any further arguing will result in its closing.

Hey, it wasn't me this time.

Hey, we could always turn this into another recipe/household hints type thread.

I need to make a "finger food" for a Christmas party this weekend. Anyone got any good ideas?

And the "Theory of Gravity" will now be known as Intelligent Falling.
What a crock.

Love it!

I'm not exactly sure why the title of this thread says "Why ID will win". The "win" part is what gets me. Win what? Didn't know it was a race or contest. And what's the prize? A big shiny statue?

A brand new signed bubble-gum trading card (from TOPS) of William Jennings Bryan.

I don't see what the big deal is. If you are a Christian, you can always say that God created the Big Bang, or whatever it is that scientists believe started the whole process of evolution (is there any evidence as to what started it?? I don't remember science class well since it SUCKED).

Both sides should stop arguing and trying to convince everyone that they are right. At the end of the day you don't get to heaven based on your beliefs regarding creation.

The "win" part is what gets me. Win what?

The war between those attempting to turn our country & educational system into a theocracy & those who are attempting to guard against it.

BTW, I'm a practicing Episcopalian & think the ID arguement is a bunch of hooey. It's an attempt to circle around the creationism gambit.

IMHO, evolution & God exist side-by-side every day. In fact, if it were not FOR God, there would not BE evolution.

This is my belief also... I believe G-d created us through evolution.It doesn't mean I want the G-d portion taught in my kids science class

Unfortunately, the prize may be a generation of graduates that feel they must consult the Bible for every answer, unable to form their own opinions from scientific studies, that Biblical religion is RIGHT and any non-Christian person or country is WRONG, making foreign relations and diplomacy a thing of the past...leading to even more senseless wars.

Science should be taught in school, religious origin theories and beliefs should be taught in Sunday School, churches, synagogues, mosques and other religious buildings.

You know, people have asked me why I react so very strongly to this issue, and I've never been able to, succinctly, state why--you've done a perfect job. That is exactly what I fear happening...

Your last sentence sums it all up for me! Thank you!

Even the Vatican disagrees with it.

Well, gee, if the almighty Vatican disagreeing with it isn't enough...
