Better lay off Bobby's medication pills there. It doesn't take too many
of them until you're hanging out in Internet Cafe's when you could be
out diving instead.

Although I disagree with the decision, what gives on "theory" precedence
over another? As if Darwinian evolution is the defacto standard of "truth".

Not this again. Face it, TonyP, you're dead wrong on this issue. Kooky
religious ideas have no place mixing with hard science.

And you think the topid of Origins is Hard Science? What turnip truck did
you happen to fall out of? The ONLY reason Darwin's theories have existed so
long is because the alternative theories require the existence of a higher
power, which then opens up a whole new area of accountability, which is
anathema to most liberals.

Again, not the issue. The alternative ideas are not based in science.
I'm about as conservative as one can get but fail to see how someone's
belief system is a scientific theory.

One thing is the ability to predict specific events that can be observed
or not--especially things we haven't noticed or seen before.
Intelligent Design can't predict anything.

Uhmmm...Tony....try here
http://wilstar.com/theories.htm
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Theory
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Intelligent_design

Ex: from "Theory"
For a given body of theory to be considered part of established scientific
knowledge, it is usually necessary for it to characterize a critical
experiment, namely an experimental result not predicted by any existing
established theory.

The theory of evolution explains the variety of species quite nicely. Even
explains why anti-biotic strains of bateria are emerging.

From an evolutionary perspective, these bateria are emerging ebcause of the
over-prescription of anti-biotics, combined with the fact that many folks
will take the drugs for a shrt time. When they start feeling better, they
stop taking ;em, allowing the bateria that survived the initial dose to
survive. This is then passed on to their descendants.

From an intelligent deisgner persoective, these bateria are emerging by His
(or Her) will.

Evolution is science, intelligent design is not.

Neither does evolution, past the assumption that species (whichever
definition you choose) are not fixed.
