"Fundamentalism is a mental disease and creationism is taught by those who cannot think." This is a pretty harsh statement to make. I agree that the intelligent design theory is not a well thought out one but I dont think that calls for putting down Christianity. I dont feel that ID was suggested by Christians just to throw God back into biology. I just feel that there was probably some sense of urgency to come up with something that people on the fence could feel comfortable believing in. There's nothing wrong with knowing science and believing in God. It doesnt have to be one or the other.
This film said that once you knew and trully understood evolution then all other theories and "isms" fell to the floor. Calling evolution and natural selection the greatest idea ever is a bit much. I really feel there has to be some way to have an in between but, someone will have to come up with something a bit stronger than intelligent design.
