Ben Stien’s movie was flawed and biased, but the backlash against Intelligent Design after the movie came out is even more unintelligent and idiotic. — tempest (2561 auth) follow on May 13, 2008

It’s not even a scientific theory. And where is the super defense?

ID is a theory. Just like Evolution. I don’t care what your religion is, the idea of complete spontaneous evolution is silly if you give it any thought, and most people in the natural sciences agree. Basic physics, people, you cannot have something from nothing. So even if you believe everything evolved after a big bang event or something, which I can acknowledge is a valid theory, the origonal mass that created the bang had to come from somewhere. For that matter the void that the bang happened in had to be made my something. I can acknowledge that it may not have been a “god” in the traditional sense, but however you explain it, the original substance had to come from somewhere…

Nowhere in there does it say why ID is a theory. Care to clarify?

I wanted to take a little time this morning to archive some of the statements I’ve proposed on SoapBoxxer. I agree with nearly all of them, though there are some where I have not determined a position on. Many of these have discussions and supporting rationale for both sides of the issue. To see details on a particular statement, use SoapBoxxer’s search function to find it.
