[quote=Kilohana]”There’s actually a new movement in the science world called Irreducible Complexity that discounts evolution as a means of how life came into existence. Google it.”

I Googled it. Took me one click to find Michael Behe – the guy behind Irreducible Complexity and the new laughingstock of the scientific community.

From his Wikipedia entry: “Behe’s claims about the irreducible complexity of key cellular structures are strongly contested by the scientific community. The Department of Biological Sciences at Lehigh University has published an official position statement which says “It is our collective position that intelligent design has no basis in science, has not been tested experimentally, and should not be regarded as scientific.” Behe’s ideas about intelligent design have been rejected by the scientific community and characterized as pseudoscience.”

Is this a new movement – or more of same in a slick new package? Creationism –> Intelligent Design –> Irreducible Complexity –> “God did it.”

You have the right to believe whatever you want, but there is no reason to try to pass religious beliefs off as science. There’s no shame in having faith and believing in God. But please, stop trying to claim that religion = science. It’s ridiculous.[/quote]

There is a creative force in the universe. This creative force is Intelligent Design.

The creative force is not God or a personality. As a matter of fact God is not a personality. Its the animating force that supports all life.

What we see as evolution is simply the creative force working. There is no conflict between the two. Intelligent design is the prime mover, evolution is how it appears to us.

[quote=asianautica]SD Realtor, you and I are on the same track regarding this. That’s why I really hope this is the year a 3rd party will get a serious look. My vote will go to Bob Barr. Hopefully the Libertarian party will get enough vote to get public funding and a spot in the debate the next time around.[/quote]

Libertarian party will never be viable because too many people work for the government.

Libertarian party has been round for years. No one cares about supporting them.

Our system was designed to be grassroots system. All the power was put out in the local communities to elect their reps to congress. However, people think we are a top down system. They think we just elect a certain person as President and they will take care of everyting and get whatever they want done.

We think we can elect 535 Socialists to congress and expect the President to ride herd on the big mess and do it all by himself.

Right now Jesus Christ could be President and we would still be screwed because of our sorry congress.

We really need a grassroots movement to get the kind of ideals we want in the people we elect to congress. Once you get congress on your side then true reform can take place.
