Eric_W's comments from the Evolution vs. Intelligent Design group.

1. God is not a liar. He would not leave extraordinary evidence for how we evolved over millions of years unless He were.
2. Evolution says absolutely nothing about creation.
3. To suggest that we humans "know" how God does things is the height of arrogance. For an entity supposedly without beginning or end, time is irrelevant and billions of years of evolution would be as a fleeting second (maybe even seven days?)
4. There are two views of God: as a magician who snaps His fingers and bingo everything is done, or the artist who builds a painting slowly and lovingly over time, gradually. Unfortunately most unthinking people adopt the magician view.
5. Evolution is God's creation, to be admired and understood. The evidence for it as a process is overwhelming. To deny it, is to deny God.
6. ID and "creationists" (a misnomer because they deny that evolution is God's creation) are engaged in a battle to promote a particular religious view which they have designed, misplaced loyalty at best, heretical most likely.
7. The Bible was never intended as a natural science textbook.
8. Evolution "implies" randomness; it does not exclude direction, but it remains a fact.
