Balaam was an arrogant reversionist and demon worshipper who was also quite insane. It's not out of the question for insane people to hear animals talk to them. It is not the be-all end-all theory, which is why I still hold that macro-evolution is no more defensible than Intelligent Design. |
Perhaps he isn't the only insane person to be regarded as a prophet...
Now go and smite Amalek, and utterly destroy all that they have, and spare them not; but slay both man and woman, infant and suckling, ox and sheep, camel and ass.
Behold, the day of the LORD cometh, and thy spoil shall be divided in the midst of thee. For I will gather all nations against Jerusalem to battle; and the city shall be taken, and the houses rifled, and the women ravished; and half of the city shall go forth into captivity, and the residue of the people shall not be cut off from the city.

There is a plethora evidence for evolution, and there is absolutely none for intelligent design. To put them on the same level is really an insult to the work of many scientists, and a slap in the face to how their discoveries and technology assist you today. The very monitor you to read this on is made from the same knowledge that says the world is billions of years old. To be honest, you say USA-Intelligent Design and it scares me that people in my own country would be so harmful to progress. I've seen it in my travels abroad, specifically the Middle East where many Muslims are happy to accept the technology that comes from the West but reject the very science behind it, which can only produce a society of thoughtless individuals who are able to reproduce what they have been told but are unable to understand and further advance it.
