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.

Requiring naturalistic explanations for the physical universe does not necessarily mean that the supernatural does not exist. There are lots of scientists who are Christians, Jews, Muslims, Hindus, Buddhists, Sikhs, and animists. There are lots of atheists and agnostics too.

All scientists are asking that is supernatural explanation stay outside the classroom when biology, chemistry, or physics are in session. Turn a biology paper in with "Goddiddit" scribbled all over it and one will be sent back to kindergarten.
