Some New Voices

by MikeGene

Steve pointed out where Matt Donnelly says , "There is a sense within the science-and-religion community that the debate over intelligent design has run out of gas.

Even their sacred bacterial flagellum didn't just happen. They seem stumped that a cell could be such an efficient little machine able to whip around with it's tail…I'm thinking of something that swims in a pearl jam like substance–right! the sperm cell; it's a single celled little bastard with a tail too. Why can't the bible thumpers just accept that science contradicts the living hell out their beliefs…
