Actually, he's right. Creationism specifically refers to the Genesis account of origins. ID is a conglomeration of all beliefs involving a divine creature who either created the universe or guided its processes.

I've met many people who are pond scum so I'm not inclined to believe that we've evolved at all.

If there was an ID or "God", it would have Perma-Banned the Gene or piece of DNA that causes people to start these threads.

Evolution and only Evolution....there is no "God".

Is this the right place/thread to ask for the picture of the bunny with a pancake on his head?

But evolution should be entitled "Natural Selection"!!!!!

It's the same damn thing. Religious retards just gave creationism a different name. Apparently they think using words like "Intelligent" and "design" in their naming of their fairytale will give it more credibility. Unfortunately, they're wrong. As usual.

If someone is interested "Intelligent Design", you may also be interested in "Intelligent Falling."

Give me a break. They're using different wrapping paper, that's it! It's the same sh!t inside.

Whatever. I always thought that a belief such as a god allowing the Big Bang to occur and then allowing natural selection to guide the path of life would fall under ID without being Creationism/literal Genesis.

LOL Int.Falling has got to be the most epic bullshit I've ever heard of.

I'm thinking evolution. Somebody was obviously grasping at straws when they pulled intelligent design out of their ass. So ID's out. The very reason ID was invented was because creationism was failing miserable as a believable theory. So creationism is out.

"Let's take natural selection and shove a deity in there somewhere, that oughta get us another 50 years or so before we have to invent something else".

Intelligent design evolved from Creationism. So there.

Creationism: The Christian God did it.
Intelligent design: Some really really powerful entity suspiciously like the Christian God did it.

Exactly. Creationism was failing in its new environment, where religion could not be taught in schools. So, it began to adapt to its environment, and lost an appendage, namely the word "God," replaced by "intelligent designer." Unfortunately for this new "theory", its predators were smarter, and still able to weed out the sick and the weak.:D

This forum and most out there are hardly a good place for this...matter of fact most people even face to face are incapable of debating this properly.

I don't buy into any of the current stories out there, but I believe they may all be related...

If there is a God and they were omnipotent, I find it laughable if they would not design their creations to be able to adapt to life threatening changes on the planet.

The screwed up part of this is many draw a line in the sand and you either believe in God and no evolution or no God and evolution with the basis we all came from tadpoles.

Most biological scientists that do believe in God or not have long given up saying there was only one path to evolution.

if there is a god and it made the world in 7 days, why did it wait 4 billion years to create intelligent life? I'll tell you why, it took that long because we evolved from very simple organisms. you and I exist due to an amazing chain of survival, that you and I exist is an amazing piece of luck, the odds were stacked against us when our Earth started taking shape BILLIONS of years ago. be happy you're here, there are countless "souls" who will not get to exist. you exist simply because your parents decided to bang at a particular time.
