Looks good Cindy. I'll be back to grade this, so if you want to make changes, please do so before Wednesday.

Ok...sounds good.

Hi Cindy. The first (and second) source you posted is the discovery institute. They are the primary advocates of I.D. Not exactly an unbiased source.The author of your first article says that I.D. is not necessarily religious. So who is the designer? How can it be anything but religious?

Nice power point. Very impressive.

Hi Robert,
Thanks for the comments. ID is not religious in the fact that it doesn't prescribe the "who". ID just says that there was a designer. It doesn't ascribe to the 6 day creation that some Creationists hold to, it just says at some point in time, someone or something designed this world and everything in it. Whether it was God, Gods, ET, or something else...we don't know. But scientifically, we can see that the complexities here on earth and in the universe are too great to have come about naturally. There are many different definitions of religion and I'm sure that EVERY BELIEF could fall into the broader definitions. For example, one definition says: A cause, principle, or activity pursued with zeal or conscientious devotion. <http://education.yahoo.com/reference/dictionary/entry/religion>
This definition could be applied to anything that one believes passionately. So, evolution, ID, creationism, and even panspermia (the belief that life arrived on this planet via extraterrestrial intelligence and another aspect of ID) or neovitalism (the belief that life is too complex for us as humans to ever know how it came to be) all could fall under religion. But, all of these are theories that one group or another holds true. The real question here is, what is the evidence. (continued)

I think that science should be looking towards that, rather than questioning whether it is based on religion or not. What happens if someday the "who" is scientifically discovered? I'm not saying that it definitely will be, but what if it was? Would we have to hide the facts so as to not sound religious even if it's the truth? Well, we have facts now. We can prove that the Darwinian model isn't true and that a lot of the ground that science stands on is based on "what ifs". ID advocates are challenging those "what its" and proving that they don't stand up scientifically. They have answers that could expand science, not limit it. Right now, biology is grasping for something to hold on to with regards to that Darwinian model of evolution and it's just not holding up. Science should go where the facts lead them, not where their "religious" beliefs lean them. Thanks for the kudos on the PP presentation. If you have more questions or comments, feel free. Cindy

Dear Cindy,
I really enjoyed your powerpoint presentation. It was very strong and it was easy to follow. good work

Hi Cindy, I think you did a great job on your presentation. Looks as if you worked really hard on it. I enjoyed going thru the pp, again good job!

Very interesting Cindy, nice job on the presentation, tho i have to say, i agree with your ideal thorey on the subject question "Did we come from one ancestor?" love the question I my self think about that alot, but never got the answer to it, but thanks for granting me the opporunity to finally get the answer, nice sources , love the comic.

Richard and Ramona,

Cindy

Thank you Cindy for answering my questions...And thanks for the comment on my presentation, people do need to start looking up on these ideas..

Very good. My favorite part was the comic. I think people really like comics lol. I also like the table, visuals are much easier to look at and are very informative. Great job. I think you bring up a lot of good points about something that many people just assume is true because a teacher told them. Way to step out of the box.

Thanks Jeffrey! I'm glad you enjoyed it. Thanks for pointing out the parts that you thought were good.
Sofia, No problem on the comments and questions. Glad you liked the presentation!

Awesome powerpoint presentation, I can tell you take a lot of pride in your work, it was very informative

Thanks Brian...I'm glad you liked it.
