I forgot to add, those who believe God or some other intelligent being guided creation would be believers of Intelligent Design, in a sense.
Only "in a sense" that is so weak it's irrelevant, and it does nothing to support the arguments of those who believe in intelligent design [ID] as a concept opposed to evolution.
People can and do believe God or some other intelligent being guided creation and still be strong supporters of the theory of evolution and opposed to the philosophy and beliefs of the IDers.
They are certainly diametrically opposed to Darwin's theory, which proposes natural selection is the cause for evolution.
No, they are not "diametrically opposed to Darwin's theory." If they were, then so would be modern evolutionary biologists, who have learned more about all the other factors, besides natural selection, that influence evolution than Darwin could know in the 1800s.
The theory of evolution [TOE] has and will ever evolve as more is learned. That is a credit to how science works, and to the credibility of the TOE.
So the groups don't really need to be distinguished.
So you argue that people who believe in evolution are "diametrically opposed to Darwin's theory," but you also argue that they do not need to be distinguished from those who think we have not evolved at all. :bang:
Honestly, this could only make sense to those who are trying desperately to squeeze square pegs into round holes to promote an agenda, and that is unfortunately rampant in the evolution vs creation/ID debate. I'm not sure if it's a matter of self-deception, slight-of-hand, or a combination of the two for any given person who practices it, but it's a sign that healthy and reasonable discussion won't be forthcoming.
You either believe it is random, or you don't, according to the question asked. If you believe in Darwin's theory of natural selection being the reason we exist, then you'd be in the 23%.
See my last post.
In addition, natural selection is not the same as random. With all due respect, between this red flag and in general, you appear to have a very superficial understanding of the subjects of ID and the TOE, which is common among those whose education comes from agenda-driven material.
I'm assuming you are a well-meaning person, and I don't intend to carry on a debate with you, because I don't want to create the hard feelings, which inevitably occur in these debates. (They also take a huge amount of time!)
But it is important to me that everyone understand the problem with the messages being sent here.
Basically, there is a misguided attempt to mis-define evolution as atheistic, and a belief in a God who guides all things as being diametrically opposed to the TOE. This is committing the grievous error of forcing a false dichotomy. It's not just illogical, but dangerously sets people (including our children) up for feeling as though they cannot believe in both God and science.
MOO, but Christians whose priority is winning souls would do their best to avoid such a dangerous trap, and they would also work to avoid being perceived as less than factual and straightforward in their logic and debate.
