Isn't it ironic that Intelligent Design relies on a bunch of Dumb Believers to believe in it?

Question

Jeanmarie.. is my joined degree physics and computer science good enough for you?

Answer 1

Yes. Any time a fundamentalist uses a word like "intelligent," the ironies start to mount exponentially.

Answer 2

My first bachelor's degree is in biology. Do you know how many non-Christian scientists believe in intelligent design? You'd be surprised. Most biologists believe that there is some type of intelligent design to our world, that there's no way the natural world happened by chance. Even those that claim there is no such thing as God believe that some sort of intelligent being existed and at least set the wheels of evolution in motion. Are these leading scientists with PhD's and numerous published works ignoramuses? I think not. It appears they have studied our world in far greater detail than you will ever care to do and have come up with the logical conclusion that evolution had to have some sort of intelligent being at least start the process, if not direct it as well.

Answer 3

Believing in evolution is like the following verse.

"Let them alone. They are blind leaders of the blind. And if the blind leads the blind, both will fall into a ditch." Matthew 15:14

It is easier to "follow the crowd" than it is to do the research yourself to find the truth.

Remember, these are the same scientists that said the world was flat.

These are also the same scientists who practiced blood-letting and many died because draining blood from their bodies drained the very source of life.

You can trust your unproven theory. There are too many complex structures in this world that could not have been left to chance.

Answer 4

Isn't it ironic that you people can't find anything else to argue about? So don't hate for how we believe, how about opening your ears to try to understand where we are coming from. All you guys do is discriminate on us and it gets old. We all believe in something even if its nothing at all. But be respectful towards others beliefs even if it is not what you believe in. Because if you can't do that than maybe your not as "grown up" as you may think you are. Now that would be the irony in this situation.

Answer 5

What we have here are a lot of anonymous folk who know nothing about one another, but of whom we can be certain of one thing:

Nobody ever heard of them.

Some might have college educations, but probably most don't.

Nobody ever heard of them, but they're making pronouncements about who is intelligent and who isn't, concerning individuals who've actually done something in their fields to make them noteworthy.

Someone observed there's a lot of irony in this issue. Astute observation.

A person doesn't have to be a creationist to believe in intelligent design.

Answer 6

I'm gonna act like most atheist and say:

Isn't it ironic that evolution relies on a bunch of Dumb Believers to believe that matter has a mind of its own? Doi

Answer 7

People who believe that a dog can either come from or produce a non-dog (any member of the "canis" family) are the ones who are "dumb".
People who believe that a cow walked into the water and somehow survived for millions of years as it gradually turned into a whale are missing something between their ears.

Answer 8

It is. It's also ironic that it bills itself as a scientific theory, when in fact it falls so short of being a theory that it may not even be a hypothesis. A random guess is not a hypothesis.

Answer 9

Believing in intelligent design is both intellectual dishonesty and ignoring common sense. So, yes, you are right.

pissdownsatansback: Since when do biologists and other scientists discredit evolution in favor of creationism? Last I heard, most scientists believe in evolution (and are atheists, might I add). Nice try though.

Answer 10

Fear of the LORD is the beginning of wisdom! We are not dumb, we can hear. We are also not blind, we see the truth. However we are fools for Christ's sake. Come to Christ .
