    You either believe what the faith teaches that God made the earth or you don't. It's that simple.

    it’s an election with no Democrats, in one of the whitest states in the union, where rich candidates pay $35 for your votes. Or, as Republicans call it, their vision for the future.

    JP trying to dig out of a hole... haven't seen this in a while


    dictionary.com says....
    1. God
    1. A being conceived as the perfect, omnipotent, omniscient originator and ruler of the universe, the principal object of faith and worship in monotheistic religions.
    2. The force, effect, or a manifestation or aspect of this being.
    2. A being of supernatural powers or attributes, believed in and worshiped by a people, especially a male deity thought to control some part of nature or reality.
    3. An image of a supernatural being; an idol.
    4. One that is worshiped, idealized, or followed: Money was their god.
    5. A very handsome man.
    6. A powerful ruler or despot.
    so if it wasn't the judeo-christian God it was a god.

    anyway all this is irrelevent. even if we ignore the fact that 'intelligent design' stems from christian literature, there is no science to support it so it should not be in science classrooms

    No it isn't, but that's the sort of childish simplicity that I would have expected from you.

    So you are no longer a religious man, JP?

    I suspect you are arguing simply for sport here.
    From the Nicene Creed...
    We believe (I believe) in one God, the Father Almighty, maker of heaven and earth, and of all things visible and invisible.
    Doesn't seem to leave a lot of room for intelligent design sans God, does it?

    Yet again you are unable to make a valid counter so you rely on trying to make insults

    Who here thinks that the Universe we live in is the whole of creation.

    I don't.

    I trust that this is a wind-up and that you are not so narrow of thinking.

    The physics I believe suggests that the Universe we live in is but one of many. Part of a multiverse if you will.

    This explains how you cannot accept my argument that the (alleged) designer of this Universe would not also have to be God.
