Some time ago I initiated this topic with the proposition that the argument had been reduced to equating it to biblical creationism and thus ridiculed. Today's article in the Seattle Times by Bruce Chapman, president of Discovery Institute effectively lays out fatal flows in Darwinism. "Advocates of the theory of intelligent design see things differently. They think there are discernible features of living systems and the universe that are best explained by an intelligent cause, not an undirected process like natural selection. They don't dispute that life changes over time; they dispute that undirected processes produced all of that change. They see evidence of actual, not just illusory, design. For example, my colleague, philosopher of science Stephen Meyer, argues that digital code stored in the DNA molecule points to intelligent design. He notes that DNA stores information using sequences of chemicals that "function just like alphabetic characters in a written text or binary digits in a software code." This discovery has profound implications." This is by far the best read I have encountered on the topic. http://www.discovery.org/a/4522
I finally got around to reading this, it was a pretty good article. I don't spend a lot of time worrying wheter Darwin was right, or wheter the Earth was actually created 6000 years and God just sort of antiqued it for us so smart people would think it was a 600 million years old. I figure in due time we'll get the answer from the man himself.
