WorldNetDaily: Evolution vs. intelligent design

This from WorldNetDaily today. Great addition to our conversation.

    I reckon I'm just a Kentucky bumpkin, but I don't understand a thing that fella's saying.

    I don't know of any scientists or teachers that are particularly hostile towards the notion of God, as this writer indicates. I've met two types, those who are indifferent to God (can't measure god, so I'm not worried about studying god) and those who are fine with the notion that God is the ultimate creator, but they also acknowledge that they're not going to be studying God beneath any microscopes.

    In other words, from what I've read and heard, God is rather a non-issue insofar as science is concerned. I've no problems with that.

    I've run across some who've said that if Genesis isn't factually correct (six days and all that), then their faith would be in tatters. I don't get it.

    I'm with Constantine (on the previous post) on this. It matters not a bit to my faith whether the world was created in six days or one billion. That is not the point of the bible or the creation story.

    What is frightening to me is the inherent racism that the theory of evolution perpetuates, a fact everyone seems determined to ignore. I watch a lot of PBS. I will never forget having the channel on one day when a college tv course was coming on. It began by showing an ape which by creative camera technique morphed into an African American, and then into a Caucasion, at the supposed highest level of of the evolution process! I doubt it is a coincidence that the original title of Darwins work has been shortened to, "Origin of the Species" When in reality the full original title of this work was,
    "Origin of the Species
    or
    the preservation of the favoured races in the struggle for life."

    The omission of God from scientific endeavor has stunted the growth of science. Science has gone through some elaborate restrictions of what it can and cannot study because of this artificial exclusion. Nancy Pearcey has done a wonderful job of following science through this atheistic period and what it has cost them. See her book Total Truth. I highly recommend it.

    Incidently, the reason I get on a rant in this area is because this is an old issue for me. My doctoral dissertation, in geography, tried to deal with the limitations of dividing spiritual and material from each other. Personally, I knew that the existence of God was the most important fact in the universe. To leave it out of science (geography) for any reason was very upsetting to me in 1981 when I completed it. The title: The Subjective Tradition in American Geography: From Geosophy to Geometaphysics. It was obviously not a biblical argument, but I'm still passionate about this error in science. ID is turning the tables over in scientific temples and tossing out the poor ideas, praise God.
