[QUOTE="Mike Brown, post: 66471, member: 1310"] Re: You're welcome. You [U][B]cannot[/B][/U] separate intelligent design from christianity. Intelligent design is an idea put forth by the Discovery Institute. A senior fellow of the Discovery Institute's Center for Science and Culture, when asked in an interview whether his research concluded that God is the Intelligent Designer, stated "I believe God created the world for a purpose. The Designer of intelligent design is, ultimately, the Christian God". To quote the Intelligent Design wikipedia: [I]Phillip E. Johnson has stated that cultivating ambiguity by employing secular language in arguments that are carefully crafted to avoid overtones of theistic creationism is a necessary first step for ultimately reintroducing the Christian concept of God as the designer. Johnson explicitly calls for intelligent design proponents to obfuscate their religious motivations so as to avoid having intelligent design identified "as just another way of packaging the Christian evangelical message".[n 18] Johnson emphasizes that "the first thing that has to be done is to get the Bible out of the discussion"; "after we have separated materialist prejudice from scientific fact [...] only then can 'biblical issues' be discussed". [/I] Phillip E. Johnson is one of the founders of the Intelligent design movement. The EXPRESSED PURPOSE of intelligent design is to sneak christianity into the world view of origin. The people who proposed the idea have LITERALLY stated that. Philosophy having the highest percentage of christians does not seem particularly surprising if the stat if for the NA continent. What is more telling, in my opinion, is the other disciplines that don't have the highest percentage of christians. History, literature, art... etc [/QUOTE]
