Anne: The "threat" is indeed in perceptions (world view)! You talk like you think people of faith are threatened by Science. Actually, it is the other way around. That's why the movie "Expelled" was made. A scientist can't posit I.D. or share his findings/conclusions which militate against classic Darwinism without being ridiculed, threatened, or ostracized in the "larger" Science/Public Education community, where people (just like the Pharisees in Jesus time) are more interested in preserving their jobs than seeking the truth... no matter where it leads. IMHO, Darwinism is not science, it is a religion of nature worshipped by those who cannot (will not) acknowledge their Creator. Some (not all) scientists embrace evolutionary "theory" (they, AND you, call it "fact"; it is only a theory after all) to explain how the complexity of LIFE came about without a designer. Most seem to want to work backwards and try to explain how an organism "evolved" from his current state through adaption, mutation, transitional forms, and...oh yes, time (billions of years). But, how many try and figure out how this can happen at the biomolecular level? Trust me; not many (read Behe's "Darwin's Black Box" for a true revelation of the complexity of life that Darwinism cannot explain away by time). From all my study (yes, I have a biology degree), they've never been able to sell me on evolution (this was even before I became a Christian at age 38). BTW, are you an atheist, agnostic, or theist? Christians believe from the Word of God that we are made in the image of our Creator, not evolved from one of His created creatures. So you see, Darwinism does attempt to negate MY concept of God, or for that matter, any one's concept of God. --Ziobuck wondering what fossils you think prove man's evolution from apes
