@Timmah. Once again, the use of the word design is incorrect but that doesnt mean the scientists using it believe in ID. The fact that scientists often use poor English to make their point simply because its hard to explain it in correct English doesnt constitute any kind of evidence for the existence of a diety.

The reason they use this word is that there's no other word that logically fits. The complex systems seen in nature all have a purpose because they were designed. I believe that scientists work so hard to explain God away, ignoring evidence to the contrary, because they don't like the existence of something they can't explain.

Scientists dont work to prove god doesnt exist, they work to prove their theories correct. Evolution wasnt proposed as a way to prove the bible wrong, it was proposed because it had scientific merit and now is accepted by the scientific community as virtual fact simply because so much evidence points towards it.

The fact is very little evidence points towards the bible being fact and much scientific evidence contradicts the bible directly. Geology in its entirety is contradictory to the bible, its simply impossible for the earth to be a mere few thousand years old, Astronomy is contradictory to the bible, the light from distant stars could simply have not reached us in the few thousand years the bible proposes the earth is old. Paleontology contradicts it, the fossil record doesnt make sense, why arent dinosaurs mentioned? How can bones millions of years old be a few thousand years old?

 

Science and religion arent incompatible, science and christianty are.
