When genuine beliefs are validated by science those who don’t believe are invalidated. I have yet to find one argument that convincingly contradicts the conclusions of the Genome Project. Irreducible complexity nor evolutionary algorithms can solely be attributed to randomization or cause and effect. The Genome Project just defined the plethora of components to the systems. What is unique to both ID and Darwinism is the fact that all organizms seek to perpetuate.
The fact that room exists for Darwin’s Theory in Intelligent Design does not stop the all or nothing tactics of those who oppose I.D. Claiming that the findings of the Genome Project are couched in mathematical or scientific terms is typical intellectual laziness. Intelligent Design is no hoax. A science based reality called Darwinism has been encapsulated by Intelligent Design. I.D. should be taught alongside evolution in public schools because it is Darwinism's origin. Organisms have a set of instructions that allow them to adapt through designed inheritance. The laws of physics are a set of external instructions that are not inherited but were written. People, the program continues to write itself before our eyes. It was designed to do that by GOD. With the argument raging it may take devine intervention for a higher theory that incorporates both to be developed.
Many who oppose Intelligent Design fear the conclusions of the Genome Project results that gave credence to a "designer" being responsible for all forms of life. The fact that "scientific" creationism or Intelligent Design can't be taught alongside evolution in public schools is the result of the anti religious bias of a certain political group that ignore facts and uses the courts to enforce it’s agenda. In Islamic nations religion and government are indistinguishable and they don’t teach Intelligent Design either. The advancements in computer technology that made the large-scale sequencing of human DNA possible would never have occurred in an Islamic nation. It is ironic that technological advancements ended up affirming what Islamic nations already know. So why do opponents denounce the influence of Christianity as being too fanatical while siding with fanatical groups like Hamas and Hezzbolah? Do they fear some new Christian non-denominational religion that argues GOD stands for Grand Old Designer? Is it the Church of the Flying Spaghetti Monster? I am convinced that genomics is emerging as a powerful research tool with the potential to transform medical care in ways yet dreamed of. I pray that it isn’t transformed by those with a political agenda that have no respect for its origin.
