It sure makes me wonder why everyone keeps sweeping that aspect under the rug.

MeBe - The Dino's weren't christian or made in the image of "god" (that was man ) - therefore they don't exist

As for this whole "intelligent design" gimmick - Make it sound scientific... simply throw around some vauge "facts" around get a few scientists (outspoken religious ones that is) to write papers and do "research" and NO ONE will notice that it's just creationism wrapped in a new shiny package.

Our mission statement plainly says that we "promote, as a scientific theory, the idea that life was designed by an intelligent designer."

-- that the identity of the designer is the God of the Bible.

Visit any of these alleged "intelligent design" websites and like ANY other CULT they give a BIT of information on the site then encourge you to BUY their books and suggest that you should become "Members".

"Intelligent design" is PURE metaphysics much like Scientology, Wicca, Christianity or the Force.

Wow...I'm glad you're able to look into this with such an open mind.

Keep in mind that the position of "Evolution is a fact, it's been proven, case closed" is as much a philosophy as any religion, and the problem is that it's got government backing in that it's the only explanation that's tought in schools. I'd be interested to know who actually inserted the statement about "...that the identity of the designer is the God of the Bible", and where it came from in your statement from above.

In all your statements above you once again take the defensive position that most naturalists take when someone asks whether or not evolution can account for origins. But, whatever. Attack us as religous nuts, it's part of the indoctrination.
