There seems to be this correlation, to some degree, between how "educated" or "intellectual" a person is and how much "common sense" has to be ignored. Everything around us has "Intelligent Design" behind it.. EVERYTHING. From the table you eat breakfast. to the shoes you wear to work. How can we look at something as complex as the human body and say. "O yeah.. I can see how we came from soup! We recognize creation everyday w/out even realizing it.. When you look at a beautiful sunset, you see nature. When you look at mountains, you see nature.. When you see a car sitting on the road you don't say. Hmm.. over Billions and Billions of years all the pieces formed in just the right combination to build that car! How much more complex are we. Why is it that there is only one side of this "creation" / "evolution" debate. We've been taught, or should I say programmed, for so long that we evolved. If I say here is the evidence for evolution.. I'm dealing with science. If I say here is the evidence against evolution I'm an intolerant religious fanatic. Everyone says we should be tolerant of an individuals freedom to choose.. whatever. However, that tolerance does not apply to the Christian. There are many things that point to a young earth. Meteoric dust on the moon, the fact that THERE IS MOUNTAINS after BILLIONS of years of erosion. The fossil record.. Through theory and education we can "prove" that an elephant can pass through a key-hole. But that just doesn't stand up to common-sense. Now I'm not saying that there are people with legitimate arguments. However, Lets put the evidence on the table.. and if metaphysical ramifications arise.. SO BE IT!!
