Mr. Vinson,
I don’t deny your argument has some merit on a Philiosphical level, trouble is that you can’t prove any of it Scientifically. By the way, Evolutionary Science has progressed much father than the days of Darwin, so calling Evoolutionary Biology Darwinism is like calling a modern Psychiatry a Freudianism. Science has one main rule, there has to be a natural explanation. So if you don’t want to play by Science’s rule, please don’t bad mouth Scientists for being, well Scientists. If in the future someone digs up this ID, with his lab and blueprints, you might be on to something. Meanwhile, I will let the Scientists do their job.
However, if you choose to believe in some sort of ID or God, fine by me. Science was never meant to be a guide to living and humanity. If the Scientists ran into your seminary or church and demanded you include Evolution theory in your cosmology, I would insult and abuse them the same way I insult and abuse pseudo-intellectual hypocrites like Ben Stein or Berlinsky. By they way, since Mr. Stein in his contemptible anti-intellectual way made a link between Evolutionary Theory and the Holocaust, I assert there is a much stronger and better documented link betweem Christian anti-Semitism and BOTH Holocausts.
