poliphiloI've been on a message board where Darwinists and Creationists were slugging it out. Ouch, ouch, ouch!
Such dogmatism- on both sides. But, as one of the posters pointed out, Darwinism is a scientific theory and Intelligent Design is a philosophical theory. They belong in different disciplines.
It's as if one team turned up for the match in football strip and the other team in cricket whites.

I don't feel contempt for Creationists. Sorry for them, perhaps. Also rather cross. But I know from experience what it feels like to be one of the "Saved"
and how hard it is escape from that culture and mindset.
