25. What I've read about ID is that it incorporates all those creationists
lies. That the human race did not evolve but appeared just as we look now. That the earth is only 8,000 years old. That the bones of dinosaurs are all dated wrong. etc....

I do honestly believe there is one creator and to me it is a logical assumption. Something outside space and time started the universe and logically it was the creator. Now all the rest of the religious assumptions are questionable. A creator who is all powerful, all knowing, all loving is logically a contradiction. But there is something mysterious about this world and I'm hoping it is because of a God. I have read the Historical Jesus and I'm really hoping Jesus was connected to this God.

I believe that evolution just as it is taught today is scientific fact and true. I believe if we used the bible as a scientific document the earth would be flat and the sun would revolve around the earth. The bible is a religious document and was written by men who could not understand science as we know it today. If these men were magically given the scientific information we have today, they could not understand it. So they interpreted what they saw based on limited scientific knowledge. The authors of the bible may have had extensive spiritual knowledge but their science education was seriously lacking.
