[meteorite-list] Kansas Legal Debate: Creation, Evolution and Intelligent Design

[Phil Morgan]

Hey Darren,
That was kind of mean-spirited.

Let's see, if I believe in a God, I'm an inbred nitwit, but if I believe 
that I was rather created by a bacteria that came from somewhere (?) and 
hitched a ride on a meteorite (just to make this a meteorite-related topic) 
I'm quite intelligent?  Or was the former only if I believe in a young 
earth?

Until we find a world that was created by bacteria+chance and those bacteria 
learned to write and recorded the whole process for us it's all faith - 
either way.

Interesting topic and if anyone has any proof either way lets discuss that 
rather than making generalities.

Regards to all
Phil Morgan

Intelligent Design is just creationism in an attempted scientific disguise 
so that they can get
their foot back in the door of the science classrooms.  Don't be fooled by 
their pretending to be
rational-- I'll be willing to be you that AT LEAST 95% of the "Intelligent 
Design" proponents
pushing for Intelligent Design to be taught are Young Earth Creationists, 
who insist on an age for
the Earth and Universe at below 10,000 years and a Noachian Deluge.

In other words, inbred nitwits.
