That's an interesting scientific study in evolution and biological processes. How, in any way shape or form, could that be used as a basis for an Intelligent Designer? ID invariably takes a leap that is impossible in science. They can cite 100's of interesting studies, but their conclusion that it proves a higher being will ALWAYS be a deal breaker.

It could, and it's a wonderful example of science at work. It may extend our knowledge of evolution, it may augment it, it may even refute it. But what it will never do, what it simply cannot do, is augment or refute the existence of God.

I'd have no problem with this bit of experimentation being mentioned in high school curriculums. It's important to know the studies going on in evolutionary sciences. But the scientific conclusion can't be that science hasn't figure this out yet, so it might be God. It very well MIGHT be God....but science can't prove that. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~| Introducing the Fusion Authority Quarterly Update. 80 pages of hard-hitting, up-to-date ColdFusion information by your peers, delivered to your door four times a year. http://www.fusionauthority.com/quarterly Archive: http://www.houseoffusion.com/groups/CF-Community/message.cfm/messageid:214029 Subscription: http://www.houseoffusion.com/groups/CF-Community/subscribe.cfm Unsubscribe: http://www.houseoffusion.com/cf_lists/unsubscribe.cfm?user=89.70.5
