What do you see in ID? I'm just curious coz i think that it's just a more subtle 'god of the gaps' approach.<br /><br />On the other hand I do think the the theory of evolution has hardly started its journey and certainly is not (perhaps never will be) a theory of everything...Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12014124722441378520noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6724033894794604436.post-86704056547902315252007-01-01T14:44:00.000-08:002007-01-01T14:44:00.000-08:00Thanks for your reply.

Except both the idea of creation and of a big bang I find dazzling and unimaginable and I'm inclined towards intelligent design.Odile Shttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17968246204159756530noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6724033894794604436.post-85212203221913110302007-01-01T02:42:00.000-08:002007-01-01T02:42:00.000-08:00Genetically, our species has remained essentially ...Genetically, our species has remained essentially unchanged for 130,000 years or more. The huge change in the human condition since then is due almost entirely to culture. Because we can now compensate for genetic weaknesses through cultural inventions (e.g., medical treatment), the mechanisms that promote genetic evolution are short-circuited in the human species. So we probably won't evolve much more genetically unless something drastic happens in our environment.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
