...Also, I think you might be slipping into the semantic trap that I mentioned in an earlier post. The question is not whether the church believes in intelligent design; of course they do. The question is whether the church is embracing Intelligent Design with a capital I and D, the specific bit of pseudoscientific tosh advocated by William Dembski and Michael Behe, which is something else again. Lots of people and churches believe in an intelligent designer but do not accept this stuff about how eyes and flagella could not have evolved naturally because of their Specified Complexity, etc.
