Re: Science and Religion - Friend or Foe?
The motivation behind E is "Spirit of Inquiry", while it is only "politics" behind ID.
I am not a biologist, but what little I know, E is a very sound and robust explanation of biological evolution of species.

Infact for me it is a bright proof how creative this force really is, so as to conceive man from monkeys .
The universal intelligence according to our scriptures is beyond any "knowing". It is theories (****) like ID which tries to limit it to some pervert human imagination. I don't see any problem with causal explanation of a natural phenomena. But I see much greater problem and avidya with theories (****) which seeks to speculate how God works, motivation being purely political.
What is Here, is Elsewhere. What is not Here, is Nowhere.
