Look, my point is Discipler can waste his college education in anyway he wants, but Creationism (ID) isn't just creationism, it's a small part of a far larger agenda. It is also a
To me christians should be out feeding the poor, protesting the war in Iraq because I really cdan't see Jesus being a pro-war kinda guy (why they aren't really makes me wonder...), giving comfort to the poor and sick..they should be setting s shining example which might actually make me feel bad for leaving the hypocrisy that is modern christianity. But no, they would much rather attack science, infiltrate politics and feel "persecuted" in the freest country on the planet.
Creationism, and it's current support and exponents, are trying to co-opt the Modern system. Period. You give them an inch and they will take a mile.
Christianity ruled the West for millenia and did little to really elevate the power and life of the common man. It made him sacrifice it to Kings, wars and delusional priests and ministers.
Science (which is really just a different way of thinking about the world) has been on the scene for a few hundred years and has lifted more of humanity out of poverty and misery than any religion ever did. Sure it created other problems, but we will deal with those - that's what humanity is about - that struggle - and WE need religion for that - for our ethics, spirituality and wisdom. We don't need it to tell us what dinosaurs are.
