Why couldn't the great designer have used evolution? By denying him the power to use evolution, aren't you in a sense limiting God?

And do you really mean never? Aren't you more interested in knowing the truth, instead of being right? Imagine what would have happened if all those wonderful scientists you listed earlier had been that dogmatic about their views of the universe? Whether or not they were Christian, they all had some things in common: they dared to challenge the current belief of the day, and they were open to the possibility of being wrong.

By the way, I am reading an interesting book on ID. I would like to see what your opinion is on some of the issues raised.
Ask away - but you should start a new thread about them.

I wonder why you care what I think though - if you are never going to believe that evolution occured even if the facts indicate that it did, why bother?

My guess, and hope, is that you aren't as dogmatic and close-minded about this interesting and important scientific theory as your little one-liners make you seem.
