[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]What you are looking for is impossible. Science can never disprove faith, and faith can never disprove science. Evolution is a scientific theory with all the flaws and issues that any scientific theory has. But scientists will never throw up their hands and say "oh well, my theory was disproven, I guess an unknowable and all seeing god created life." Instead they will come up with a new hypothesis. That is the scientific method. But that same scientist may go to church on Sunday and worship his "creator." That is religion. Science and religion are two separate things. Judge science by scientific standards and religion by religious standards. Don't try to compare them to each other. [/quote]

Actually OP hasn't brought religion into this much.  Which is why it's odd she's posting in the religion forum and won't give her views and reasons for asking these questions (not that she's required to, really, it just seems...trollish).[/quote]

Actually, OP hasn't commented at all on this topic, other than OP and this post.  ;)  This is the first I've been able to get back to it and I'm so overwhelmed with all the intelligent comments, now I'm not even sure what I want to know or why.

Well, I do know why - and the reason it's on the religion board - my church has started a series on Intelligent Design.  The video series, over the next 12 weeks, will explain why it should be taught in school.  The first segment explained and touched on:
Evolution isn't true science as it cannot be recreated - (what a prior poster, who some assumed to be OP, explained so much better than I can).
It takes more faith to believe in evolution than it does to believe a bigger being caused it.
Species don't just turn in to another species.  Where are the transitional fossils?
Haeckel’s fraudulent embryo pictures
Cambrian Explosion and Darwin's Dilemma

I came home to google all these topics (that sound very convincing while I'm watching the video or listening to the speaker), but most of the "backup" that shows these as valid arguments in favor of Intelligent Design come from religious websites.  I don't want to read a religious website, nor do I want to be insulted by a bunch of smarty-pants scientists dismissing creationism as something only idiots and American Taliban would believe.  I was hoping there's some place that's not tainted or swayed by either side and just goes back and forth against each argument.  There's a lot to digest in this thread already, so hopefully something here can get me started.  Thanks to all the helpful posters!  [/quote]

You will only find religious web sites arguing for intelligent design.  Even the roman catholic church does not believe in it.  The smarty-pants scientists and the regular nice scientists all do not believe there is any actual evidence for intelligent design, although it it not ruled out.  All the data we have is explanable by evolution, right now.[/quote]
