[QUOTE="Per Søvik, post: 66559, member: 1285"] Re: You're welcome. Creationism is admittedly a very narrow "ideology" with all the typical conspiracy theory explanations for facts, like God planted the dinosaur bones to test our faith and so on. ID as a concept isn't invalidated by the goals of those who invented the term. When certain states chose to use the word Democratic in their name, they didn't invalidate the concept of democracy, they just hijacked and misused the word. When the Nazis decided to apply some Darwinism to their ideology and decided to give nature a helping hand, Darwinism didn't suddenly become null and void because of the motivation behind that particular application of the theories. One problem of Darwinian evolutionism without an intelligently designed mechanism is that it is too slow. Statistically the rate of evolution over the last 400-600 million years is either extremely improbable or too fast by a very significant factor. Only fairly cataclysmic events at a rate of several per millennium or some mechanism or rule that we have yet not discovered would give us numbers that adds up. Since the Darwin model at the moment suffers from being statistically improbable, it is by scientific definition not proven. I'm not suggesting that Darwin was wrong, far from it, just that Darwin doesn't explain everything. Supernatural or yet to be xplained natural, same thing really. Electricity was supernatural untill it was explained. [/QUOTE]
