The creationists are forever screaming about how evolution is a faith-based theory and hence, no good. (Any functional neurons will show the irony of this, but it seems to escape those blinded by faith entirely.) It just seems to me that the folks who are advocating for a non-existent "intelligence" and getting called out on it are trying to deflect with their own accusations of magic. And it's just as transparent and absurd as the creationist claims.<br /><br />Sometimes I just want to smack sense into people.<br /><br />Ok, a lot of times.Robinhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05830094293166211231noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5956838.post-70110211646243755432009-04-13T14:42:00.000-07:002009-04-13T14:42:00.000-07:00> What's that scientist holding?
