It seems both sides are arguing with more rhetoric than fact.
Intelligent design and evolution (via random mutation and natural selection) are both theories. Both are "testable" only to limited degrees.
Intelligent design doesn't exclude naturalistic causes (first cause may have been the only "divine intervention") and ID theorists are not necessarily traditional creationists.
"The earth brought forth.." Genesis 1:12 sounds more like naturalistic causes than divine intervention in that specific scenario.
If/when it is discovered that life/complexity came about through naturalistic causes (excluding first cause) other than random mutation and natural selection, both sides will claim they won.
www.iscid.org has the best scientific and most objective discussion from both sides
For those that don't want to use this... don't. But i can almost guarantee that you don't know where all your scripts and documents are located off the top of your head. And other people who might need to browse your shared directories certainly don't. And you can't tell me that there has never been a time that a doc could have been properly placed in more than one folder- everything can't be pigeonholed into one exact category... that is the nature of information.
However, i agree that this system has its limitations. I've been wanting to do something like this, but it would allow you to save your document where you want in the HFS, and would make links from other "category" directories to the "actual" directories based on what the computer knows about the file (i.e. it is an mp3 file, so it goes in the audio category and the mp3 category, at least) and categories that you select in the Save dialog box. These categories and files would also be indexed in some type of database for additional searching capabilities. Please let me know of any products that do something similar to this.
Try William Dembski. I'm not trying to downplay Gould's significance to neo-Darwinism, but as already stated previously, he was not very well respected in the inner scientific circles. He played for the postmodernist, not the scientist.
An appropriately intelligent remark from one who obviously doesn't understand intelligent design. Some creationists do go overboard, but you only prove ignorance.

Uhhhh... if an evolutionist who doesn't believe in life after death is dead, why would he or anyone else care what is said?
I doubt he was open-minded or smart enough to actually investigate Jesus.
