Debate #9

[loosechanj]

I think my lack of opposition to Intelligent Design is due to the fact that I don't see Evolution as being particularly more valid than a properly expressed ID theory. Darwin gives people who don't want to feel beholden to any higher power the comfort of living in a universe without one, whether that's reality or not.

I'm probably completely mistaken about what I think is ID, but I have yet to see a single example of evolution. And no, adaptation to a changing environment doesn't count.

Why not?

Adaptation to a changing environment is the fundimental driver behind evolution. Without that, you're right, evolution doesn't exist.

Evolution is all about "adapt or die".

I just said that sort of thing doesn't count, it's just adapting to an environment.

um, as the other guy said, that's what evolution *is*.

You're way stranger than I originally thought. :)
