Intelligent Design - Yes, inside every human cell, a complex, sophisticated, well organized system is in operation which could be characterized as a self contained, microscopic factory.

This argument in particular has been so thoroughly debunked as to make further arguments in support is simply an argument ad absurdum in that the argument for irreducible complexity is like arguing that a mouse trap cannot function without any of its parts removed. Well as a mouse trap that is true, but if you remove any of those irreducible parts, they can and do function as other mechanisms and things.
Take away two parts (the catch and the metal bar), and you may not have a mousetrap but you do have a three-part machine that makes a fully functional tie clip or paper clip. Take away the spring, and you have a two-part key chain. The catch of some mousetraps could be used as a fishhook, and the wooden base as a paperweight; useful applications of other parts include everything from toothpicks to nutcrackers and clipboard holders. The point, which science has long understood, is that bits and pieces of supposedly irreducibly complex machines may have different — but still useful — functions.
Actually both evolution and creationism are theories. Nice try though. I'm pretty certain that I acknowledged evolution in my previous post. Reading comprehension problems?
Maybe both are right. Maybe those of us with a soul were created by God and liberals simply (d)evolved from apes.
Apes were ****ting on the soil long before the Biblical God infused soul into it to create Adam and Eve, thus the humanity the and others that were living in nearby villages who Cain would approach to for his wife.
ToE is Science. ID is religion. The debate is definitely political.
Indeed. The initial post was in a political vein. However, as history has shown on this forum, should a thread degrade into a Creation/Evolution debate, no matter how it starts out, the probability that the moderators moving it to the religion/philosophy sub-forum, approaches 1. I think there is a law in that. Hmmm, Panterra's Law. Think it'll catch on?
