Hi John,
I respect your position. For me intelligent design does not equal religion.
Religion is when the "possessor" of that intelligence behind the design is
worshipped - i.e. that we believe that the intelligence wants to be
worshipped. Scientifically we do not know that this intelligence wants to be
worshipped. That's belief, faith, and religion.
My mother, for example, believed in intelligent design - that something made
us, but did not go along with the idea that the "creator" wanted to be
worshipped. "What you need to understand, Andrew," she would often tell me,
"is that religion is a choice which has no scientific bearing. There is
science in intelligent design. Go and read what Fred Hoyle says about it."
I must confess I never did read Fred Hoyle's theories. I respected her
position and I respect anybody's choice of religion (or non-religion).
Scientifically speaking I do believe in intelligent design.
I also respect Dan's "belief" that </sarcasm on> he might get a commander
out of the pop-cans he buried in his back yard. </sarcasm off> </grin
on> Sorry Dan, it won't evolve into a Twin Commander. Something else, a
Piper, Cessna, or Beechcraft, perhaps? For a Twin Commander there has to be
intelligence behind it! </grin off>
God bless,
Andrew.
