With "FEAR" magnifying amongst Evolutionist from the growing popularity of Intelligent Design as documented by news reports, is this a threshold to a Neo-Scientific Revolution, a death to the old and the birth of the new?

Yes, I am of the mind that there is indeed intelligent design. I am not a by the book Christian, so to speak, so I hope you accept my post ! Hahahh just ribbing you.

The dogmatic scientists are indeed scrambling to try to back up their evolutionary theories, while I.D. keeps strongly going forward and opening new doors.
I am going to be looking at the links you posted, thanks.

Love and Light

Question...

Are these articles addressing the whole sphere of biological development or looking for justification in those grey areas not yet ventured into by evolutionary scientists or areas still under research? When will ID focus on biology as a whole rather than trying to fill gaps with barmy theories?

Is it more a question of religious texts are becoming more and more out of touch with modern society's thinking, moral values and especially science. Thus ID and creationist theories are simply an attempt to try and legitimise the books by bringing them more in line with current thinking...

The fact of the matter is that people are trying to put a circular shaped universe into a triangle hole...

edit: sorry forgot a few disciplines, rephrase the question:

When will ID start to look at all relevant disciplines and garner evidence in support of its theories from each discipline such as paleontology, biology, geology, geography, chemistry, physics, and ecology? With supporting evidence...

COMMON MISCONCEPTIONS

For more than 100 years, scientists have sought—and found—evidence for evolution. The fossil record demonstrates that life on this planet was vastly different millions of years ago. Fossils, furthermore, provide evidence of how species change over time. The study of comparative anatomy has highlighted physical similarities in the features of widely different species—proof of common ancestry. Bacteria that mutate and develop resistance to antibiotics, along with other observable instances of adaptation, demonstrate evolutionary principles at work. And the study of genes, proteins, and other molecular evidence has added to the understanding of evolutionary descent and the relationship between all living things. Research in all these areas has led to overwhelming support for evolution among scientists.

Nevertheless, evolutionary theory is still, in some cases, the cause of misconception or misunderstanding. People often misconstrue the phrase "survival of the fittest." Some people interpret this to mean that survival is the reward for the strongest, the most vigorous, or the most dominant. In the Darwinian sense, however, fitness does not necessarily mean strength so much as the capacity to adapt successfully. This might mean developing adaptations for more efficiently obtaining food, or escaping predators, or enduring climate change—in short, for thriving in a given set of circumstances.

But it bears repeating that organisms do not change their characteristics in direct response to the environment. The key is genetic variation within a population—and the potential for new combinations of traits. Nature will select those individuals that have developed the ideal characteristics with which to flourish in a given environment or niche. These individuals will have the greatest degree of reproductive success, passing their successful traits on to their descendants.

Another misconception is that evolution always progresses to better creatures. In fact, if species become too narrowly adapted to a given environment, they may ultimately lose the genetic variation necessary to survive sudden changes. Evolution, in such cases, will lead to extinction.

coaching present day biology grew to grow to be unlawful interior the yank state college device in 1925 (after the Scopes Monkey Trial) and remained unlawful till the previous due 1960's. So the individuals coaching technology in American colleges as we communicate have an outstanding probability of no longer having studied it at school themselves. however the user-friendly thesis: that life evolves from inorganic chemical compounds (rocks) is surely sound. people who do no longer stretch to evolutionary concept are not rather going to be waiting to tell apart between inorganic chemical compounds and rocks, are they?

Nothing can be exalted against the knowledge of God. Sometimes we can have so much book sense that we don't have any common sense. God is not mocked. Whatever a man sews that he must also reap. God is God all by himself. He does not need any evolutionists, scientists, or anyone to acknowledge Him. God is not help hostage by human knowledge. The fear of God is the beginning of understanding. May God Bless U.

The irony I see here is that you claim us "evolutionists" to be fearful, yet you only want Christian opinions. What does that say about your state of emotion?
