    Let's look at the proponents of these two viewpoints. On one hand we have: the entire scientific community, which has no political agenda and has given us everything from cures for disease to space travel. On the other side is this Discovery Institute you keep referring to which:

    -was founded by a Reagan administration official, Bruce Chapman

    -is heavily backed by California multimillionaire Howard F. Ahmanson Jr., who is aligned with Christian Reconstructionism a movement that seeks to overturn democracy and replace it with Christian theocracy

    -is not taken seriously by the vast majority of thinkers in the real scientific community

    Discipler, you're not a scientist, are you? Why would you presume to know more about the origins of life than people like Richard Dawkins and Stephen Hawkings, who have given us real contributions to society through their work?
