Best Evolution= Science/ Intell Design Doesn't Case

NY Times: "Evolution is a robust theory, in the scientific sense, that has been tested and confirmed again and again. Intelligent design is not a theory at all, as scientists understand the word, but a well-financed political and religious campaign to muddy science. Its basic proposition (the intervention of a designer, aka God) cannot be tested. It has no evidence to offer, and its assumptions that humans were divinely created are the same as its conclusions. Accepting the fact of evolution does not necessarily mean discarding a personal faith in God. But accepting intelligent design means discarding science." Absolutely! Personally, I choose to believe that a Creator, w/the omniscient wisdom only a Divine Creator could have, sprinkled together all the right ingredients over the cosmos and life evolved over eons and eons. Is this science? Hell no. It is faith. And believing that the universe evolved w/out a Divine Creator does not threaten my faith in any way at all. That is the beauty of faith: It is personal, private, and unproven. It is in your heart only & it does not impose on others. Science is tested quantitatively/ qualitatively and proven publicly, only to be tested again & again. These religious/ anti-facts freaks (and Sen McCain just joined the ranks w/them- how shocking that the Bush Bootlicker chimed in on this, eh?) should STFU and stop dumbing down our children, who already lag far enough behind the rest of the world in science and technology.
