the truth exposed

“jackson”, you are the one that is uninformed. Please, do some DD (not ID): “Michael Behe (as seen in the movie) believes that many … read more systems are “irreducibly complex,” which is just a fancy new name for the very old argument that some systems in nature are made up of parts that are too well matched and work together too perfectly to be the work of evolution; instead, the argument goes, such systems must be the products of an intelligent designer who sounds suspiciously like God.” This is the definition of Intelligent Design. From the other side: http://www.expelledexposed.com/ Remember Ben Stein walking around Seattle, and mentioning the Discovery Institute? “The ID movement is orchestrated by the Center for Science and Culture (CSC), a subdivision of the Discovery Institute, a conservative Christian think tank based in Seattle.” From LiveScience.com http://www.livescience.com/health/050922_ID_main.html The CSC’s purpose consists of two points: 1.) challenge the validity of scientific evolution, and 2.) replace it with ID. The policies and action plan for carrying out the above, is known as “The Wedge Document” (http://www.antievolution.org/features/wedge.html). In this document, the Discovery Institute states that the center's long-term goals are nothing less than the "overthrow of materialism and its cultural legacies," and the replacement of "materialistic explanations with the theistic understanding that nature and human beings are created by God." There is a 5-year and 20-year plan. The first as described, above, is to replace scientific evolution with theistic evolution (this time around, its ID). Once it has been ingrained into the heads of this countries’ generation of children that science is anti-God, the 20-year plan is to replace ALL science (including medicine) and politics with Christian theistic teachings, and as a result, the creation of a Christian religious state. In effect, this is no different than what we see in current Iran, and what occurred in Taliban-controlled Afghanistan.
