NOVA: Judgement Day, Intelligent Design on Trial
Ok, so why does there have to be such a fight? Can't evolution and God come to terms? There should be no division..
Religious folks should accept that the observed reality of evolution could be the physical mechanism of the God(s) they believe in and the creation myths they venerate.
Scientists should stop being so fucking up tight and let religious folks be, and further accept that much of evolution does also remain as much a theory as Genesis or some other creation myth, there is much evidence, true, but lets all understand that it is equally a matter of belief.
I see no need for conflict.
The theory of Evolution is not necessarily a fact, and people like myself who believe in God should NOT think they know Him so well that they know how and what exactly God does/did. A little humility goes a long way..
This NOVA special makes some good points, obviously the theory of "Intelligent Design" is not science, but what is called science is also over emphasized as an absolute fact when it its not the case. I think they should meet each other half way, the scientists should accept the gaps in their theory, and the religious folks should loosen up with all this 'they know everything about God' nonsense, nobody knows anything or everything about anything at all! We are ALL equally ignorant of true reality, we all just live in our own imaginative version of the universe, and we should spend more time sharing with positive and love rather than dividing with bullshit and schizm. Love goes even further than humility.
peace and love
