Ugh! Intelligent Design is the latest trip on the slippery slope. Creationists can no longer credibly claim the Earth isn't billions of years old. They can no longer credibly deny micro-evolution. So they've hitched their wagon to denying macro-evolution. Sad. Talk Origins has this fairly well covered for the quick and dirty. talkorigins.org Derek

It is no news to me that Darwin’s theories are full of holes. It would be virtually impossible for them to be otherwise. I’d guess that in a few hundred years, if we haven’t incinerated ourselves, Darwin’s work will be seen as both prescient and completely deficient. There is a great deal that we don’t know. That’s to be expected: we know more than we did, and less than we will. I don’t see any reason to assume that things we don’t understand today must have a supernatural explanation. It’s just science that we haven’t learned yet. Primitive people looked at volcanoes, didn’t understand them, and attributed them to supernatural powers. Today we realize that they are a consequence of a complex but comprehensible geological process. Today we look at other things, and don’t understand them. Why should we fall into the same trap that our ancestors fell into?
