I am completely on board with evolutionary science, as is everyone I've met who is educated in America. So, you will have to do better than just claiming conservatives like me who believe in God don't understand or accept evolutionary science. Finally......you admit you are a conservative. Now when will you admit you voted for Bush........TWICE?!

"Sure, child's play. Your first mistake (childish gambit) is trying to define my position for me" I did not try to define your position. I just picked a topic. I really don't care what your position is, since it is likely to be ill-thought out and poorly defended like the rest of your positions. "I don't consider either of those opposing views to be adequate in explaining critical features of the universe and living things, at least when positioned as one view exclusive of the other." Like what? You need a bit more than just strongly worded statements and hand waving. Actually, ID is more than sufficient to explain any critical feature. All it has to do is invoke "and then a miracle occurs" and it is explained away. Which is why it is totally useless as a foundation for science as we know it. There is nothing to drive questions, the answers are always there. The basic problem is that ID isn't falsifiable, per Popper. Now it was popular in the '80s for the anti-evolution crowd to claim that evolution isn't falsifiable, but they were wrong. ID, however, is truly not falsifiable. Because everything can be defended on the basisc of the whim of the Great Designer.
