like i dont believe it. even the top scientists who back the big bang admit that it is basically everything coming from nothing after a large unclear event.
but i accept it as another theory.
i just wish that high science and academia could grant ID the same respect as a theory.
There is a well cited article on Wikipedia about the Guillermo Gonzalez case. You would do well to read it.
Briefly, 2 years before Guillermo came up for tenure, 130 professors signed a university-wide petition co-authored by a professor of religion, discouraging any teaching on their campus of ID as a science.
Although that should certainly have some effect on Professor Gonzalez's application for tenure, the primary reasons he denied were the lack of any grants that he earned, the single grad student he had who completed a dissertation, and the lack of any figures or real scientific research in his own work during his time at the University.
Oh, and I think you meant "Astronomer", not "Astrologist".
Meanwhile, there is still no evidence and no point of comparison for how "finely tuned" this Universe is. So I'm really not following you there.
The way I see it, there's no argument that intelligent design isn't a "theory", but it's not a scientific theory, and it therefore does not belong in our science classrooms, but rather in

and i understand there are questions with my belief as well.
the one source I do remember is astrologist Guillermo Gonzalez who was denied tenure at Iowa state for mentioning ID in one of his papers.
and before the catholic church went to set the calendar off of Jesus, there was a previous calendar, and different calendars through time.
my statement of this universe being "perfect" was more along the lines of how intricately fine tuned many things are.
once again im sorry i didnt include citations for this blog.
my main argument was how many people do not give intelligent design credence of being at least another theory.
