    Genesis is very open to interpretation, and gets the order of species evolving right as well as the beggining of the univiverse.

    Personnally i think god is clever and powerful enough to create the world and us through evolution, haveing created a universe that would bring about life on earth. he is after all omnipitant!

    Right... creationists believe all life was created by God, and ID theorists believe all life was created by some mysterious unnamed intelligence, possibly God if that's your fancy.

    ID is simply creationism using carefully chosen neutral science-y language. It's politically correct creationism.

    ID says that some biological systems are too complex to have evolved on their own, so they must have been designed. Unsurprisingly, they have yet to actually identify such a system. The ironic thing is that every time they think they have, all they have done is provide a target for future research which inevitably ends up discovering that the complexity is not so irreducible after all. In fact, the only way 'irreducible complexity' remains irreducible is if nobody researches it... which is exactly what ID theorists are shooting for. ID theory basically is asking scientists to run up the white flag, stop looking for answers in nature, and just accept a supernatural explanation. It's not science. In fact it's anti-science.

    How do you figure? You think our species was the most recent species to evolve?

    Not according to Creationists. Creating a world things work in was far too hard, so he cheated.

    Just to liven this one up again, looks like us backwoods yokels here in the US aren't the only ones dissing evolution.

    I would like to point out that a third of Britain fails their GCSEs, which is quite an impressive act when you it was recently pointed out that a pass (A to C grade) in English didn't actually mean you were functionarily literate.

    Which is probably why referendums don't happen here much.
