Ante that the truth.

All these generalizations are rubbish. You know what they say when you make assumptions….
I studied biology in college before I changed to chemistry. I also have a graduate degree in engineering. Both schools were UC’s. I put myself through school both times.
Frankly, I find the argument for irreducible complexity at least interesting in many cases, if not compelling.
Oh, and I’m a conservative and while I was raised catholic, I haven’t been to church in 20+ years and consider myself more agnostic than anything else.

Good. You find issues compelling, and have a fundametal understanding of them. Most of the people who support the ideas of creationism or even irreducable complexity have no idea about the theory of evolution and natural selection. They have some half assed idea that one day a monkey gave birth to a human baby and dont buy it. I constantly have to correct a segment of my social group who do not understand this most basic biological theory. That is where my statement comes from. I really enjoy debating the topic with people willing to hold an actual debate. Unfornatually I find that the extream majority of people who support these ideas are people who have little understanding of what they are talking about and no willingness to explore their beliefs.
