HI Steiner,
Welcome to EvC.
I'm impressed how you're able to frame a question posed in that nice blue box...hmmm, wonder how it's done (next time I see this comment no doubt it will be inside a nice blue rectangle) If you see anything in a post you want to emulate (like intelligent, rational discussion ) click the "peek" button on the lower right of the post you like. That will show you the raw text the individual typed. When you are editing your post there is a dBCodes On(help) link to the left of the entry window. That has the list of things that you can do. There is also regular HTML possible.

wonder how it's done
That was done as [qs]wonder how it's done[/qs]
I see you're a Teacher, nice. It must feel like you are in the intellectual forward trences right now in the War on Terrorble Creationist Myths & Lies.
I teach computer science, not evolution. There aren't any cultural controversies in computer science, as far as I know.
What IS it about American society that ...
You can find the same problem in other societies, although it is more pronounced here. I'm not sure why, but I suspect that it has to do with American traditions of freedom of the press, skepticism of government, money (for advertising), etc. We all know that America is a highly religious nation. And the God that Americans most worship is the almighty dollar.
do IDiots ever type tripe in any of these Forums?
ID proponents do debate here.

From what I have read it seems that ID is a combination of Evolution and Creation. God (Intelligent being) did not actually create earth, animals and people in 7 days. God did come up with evolution to do the same thing in 100mln years, instead. There are a lot of constrains and limitations and uncertainties, but a no evidence to prove or disprove it.
Can someone please explain what ID actually postulates? Several people, talked about ID and its implications without ever mentioning the actual theory. Or was I supposed to know about ID before clicking on this thread? Thanks.

That is the heart of the problem. There is no difined postulation for ID. Every ID proponent you talk to has their own unique ideas about it and most of them directly contradict each other.

About 13 or so billion years ago some Intelligent entity farted and time/space and matter unfolded into what we call the big bang.The Intelligent farter designed the program to run so that the expansion of all this space/time/matter would through 11dimentions and 4 fundelmental forces ensure a program that would be eternal and ever recycling caos to order and back to caos. Randomness and order. Eventually the cooling of the cosmos condensed into heavier elements that formed collections of gas clouds that condensed into stars. These stars eventually through the process of nuclear fusion converted H into He and the by product was light and heat.
Stars nova, more dense elements, asteroids, planets, moons, and wizzing around through it all comets containing a multitude of organic chemicals seed a small sterile planet with lots of H2O on it process these compounds into amino acids then rna and then dna then life. Some odd 8.5 billion years later some silly nuerotic apes sit around typing on computers mulling it all over. "One is punished most for ones virtues" Fredrick Neitzche

Damn!
And I thought the whole kaboodle was sneezed out of the nose of a being known as the Great Green Arkleseizure! Haven't you ever seen the Arkleseizurians spreading pamphlets outlining a time that they call "The coming of the great white hand-kerchief"? Apparently we are all doomed when it happens. (Concept shamelessly borrowed from "the HitchHiker's Guide to the Galaxy", our one and only source of TRUE wisdom)

That would about sum it up. a) Creation b) Evolution c) Other (AKA ID)
Views on ID that I have come up against range from something indistinguishable from 6 day creationism, up to and including a theory that the Human Race might well be the result of microbial contamination on the boots of an alien race who explored the universe eons ago. Once they come up with a coherent theory, I just hope they will let us know. Think we are in for a long wait though.

c) Other (AKA ID) I was under the impression that the basic beleif of ID is that life forms are so subtly designed and so exquisite that they could not have evolved by random mutations but had to be the work of some God-like creature or even God.

That would appear to be one of the more common versions.

Here we go again...
Why can't you post a topic with an original belief of your own, and why you believe it. Your posts all rely on creationists to come foward to answer "trap" questions. well sure as planets come, i know that they end and if i'm here when they happens, will you promise me this my friend? please bury me with it i just don't need none of that mad max bullshit
