..or well, Discipler might really just hav efaith in it, which is fine. If you want to believe in an INtelligent Designer, I'm all for it. Adds or subtracts nothing to your value as a fellow human being. If it makes him happy, gives him meaning, enriches his life, then I say Rock on...it's just that like so many ID people they just a) try to enforce there views on others b) totally screw up the fundamentals of science and the advances in Western thinking to try and "prove" that they're right.
But then again it's been going on for millenia, why should it stop now...
The funny thing is that the forces of reason, logic and science are really the underdogs - we've only really lived in a "rational" world for a few centuries, if even that. The vast majority of mankinds existence on this planet has been driven by religious and magical thinking and practices..and it's those ideas which threaten our very existence ina modern, technological world if allowed free reign. (In measured doses they provide good things for the human spirit)
