This is a response to a Starbucks Coffee add called "The Way I See It #220"
Printing something on a coffee cup, or in a newspaper, or magazine, or even in a College Textbook does NOT make it a fact of science: much less one that can be observed, and tested, and replicated in the Real World. In other words, there's a BIG Difference between empirical science and that which is called "science" by hopeful and VERY Optimistic people who call themselves scientists.
Does calling the (Common Sense Based) Intelligent Design movement a "faith-based" movement somehow make the so-called "science-based", unproven, and illogical theory of evolution more credible?
To some perhaps, but to those of us who have a "show me first... and by the way... can you Demonstrate it to me as well" attitude, the answer is NO.
In other words, calling the common sense-based Intelligent Design movement a faith-based movement does not mean that it is any less credible from a logical, scientific, or biological / information-based perspective than the so-called "scientific" theory of Evolution.
To the contrary, from a purely logical perspective, the theory of Evolution is far LESS credible than the concept of a Creator: who Designed the world we live in, AND all of the life-forms that are found on it. In other words, all nature does is DESTROY things via decay and oxidation, and various calamities. This applies to everything in it: including the building blocks of life.
And simply because the Mass Media (to my knowledge) hasn't reported on this doesn't make it any less true. For the FACT is that not even the smallest homochiralic (i.e. living type of) protein molecule (that is ONLY 8 amino acid characters long) has ever been OBSERVED to form naturally, much less has anything remotely resembling the simplest self-replicating bacterium ever discovered: an organism called mycoplasma. Mycoplasma is a parasitic bacterium consisting of 40,000 proteins, of 600 different types, and has DNA, RNA, ribosomes (i.e. protein factories), and a cell membrane (to let food and water in, but keep harmful things out).
In other words, Evolution is FAR LESS supported by science, logic and reason, and the laws of probability than the concept of a Creator who Designed both the Universe and the Earth, and all of the living things that are found on it. Therefore, if anything, it is the theory of Evolution itself that belongs in the realm of religion: for in spite of all the meaningless repetition by the mass media and on College campuses, that is just what it is: i.e. a religion that is believed by faith, but never actually observed except for very small minor variations that produce very minor changes, or that cause the organism to be LESS complex than it was before.
