    Call your state legislators and insist they approve the Article V convention of States to propose amendments.

    That makes it difficult for them to have any ground to criticize what other people believe.

    Scientist's are no different than other people. Some claim authority by repeating exactly what they were told to repeat. Some deny authority and known science and become inventors and creators. Some mix the two.

    Science is always wrong before it is right and then proven wrong again...

    Our two statements add no additional understanding.

    Darwin's theory explains evolution through natural selection. Why do you object to it?

That must have been done by an intelligent creator!" In effect looking for God's signature on the painting. Whereas the Bible describes faith as "the evidence of things not seen".
    Yeah the intelligent design people are pretty amusing. Western religion is on this kick that God MUST be like us, talk like us, think like us, want "Liberty" and free markets. It all goes back to the original priests of Sumer probably and the noble class. Can't fall out of favor!

    I said once that science is only showing us how god did it: the tricks of the magician as it were. Quantum entanglement says more about the universe and consciousness than people have ever known, and that is the trail in my view. The Bible? A book of metaphors. To make anything else of it is a waste of it's wisdom.
