23. November 2009, 13:19:04 Subject: Creationism, Intelligent Design, etc. Modified by Übergeek 바둑이 (23. November 2009, 13:21:34)  "Creationism refers to the religious belief that humanity, life, the Earth, and the universe were created in some form by a supernatural being or beings, commonly a single deity. However the term is more commonly used to refer to religiously motivated rejection of certain biological processes, in particular evolution, as an explanation accounting for the history, diversity, and complexity of life on earth." "Intelligent design is the assertion that certain features of the universe and of living things are best explained by an intelligent cause, not an undirected process such as natural selection. It is a modern form of the traditional teleological argument for the existence of God, but one which avoids specifying the nature or identity of the designer" I prefer Darwin's evolution. It paints a much better picture of God. Can you imagine God sitting there and thinking? "Now, let's see. A little bit of this and a little bit of that and voilá! Here is Yesinia pestis, the bubonic plague bacterium! Now, let's see what this baby can do. Ooops, 100 million people just died!" "Let's see next. I got this idea for a protozoan, let's call it Plasmodium falciparum. If I just make it slightly so, mosquitoes can transmit to animals, people, etc. Let's see what this thing can do. Ooops, I just realized it will cause malaria. It will infect 250 million and kill 1 million people each year!" I prefer evolution. God didn't sit around making and designing deadly diseases. The American government might have accused Saddam of using anthrax as a weapon, but ultimately was it God who "designed" it? No offense to those who believe in creationism and intelligent design but evolution sounds much better to me. Did God design this? 23.

Job 40:17 Possibly trunk 3. Job 40:24 Or by a water hole. The footnotes can explain alot. Sailors use to say alot "there be monsters" but that was just a matter of not knowing what something is and being frightened of big things that could sink their ship. 23.
