Science, and psuedo science such as "intelligent design", will never be
able to reveal the living God, Sri Krishna
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Intelligent Design is not psuedo science but evolutionary theory is.
Intelligent design has two components. 1) To look at evolutionary theory in
light of all the discoveries made by scientists to date and see if the data
backs up the theory 2) To show that that the natural world based on the
science of probabilities that ideas such as Irreducible Complexity are the
most probable theories to be correct based on empirical deduction from the
available data.
Unfortunately due to the bias of atheists (and people who accept them as
unbiased) and people with no education on the topic who are unwilling to
investigate both sides on their own terms, the above quote is then repeated
as some kind of mantra without any sort of attempt to prove it. But one
thing is true in the above, that ultmately Krishna decides who can see the
truth of the situation and who cannot.ID does reveal God, but God can keep
you igorant of that fact if he decides to.Posted by Jahnava @ 11/15/2005 08:26 AM PST

Thanks, Shiva das. The text you note as being your comments appeared to have been Bhakti das's in his email. Thanks for the correction, which I've also made in the feature article. Thanks to you both for providing this excellent material.

I think there was some misunderstanding, I wrote:
"Due to blind faith in propaganda from committed atheists who promote evolution for philosophical and political reasons, the intellectually lazy and easily fooled sector of society accepts evolutionary theory despite their lack of study on the topic. They don't know anything about evolution nor do they know anything about Intelligent Design. They simply accept "argument from authority". They don't realize that they are backing a theory which has been disproven for some time now by numerous scientists who are professionals in every field associated with evolution. Time to separate the men from the boys."
I posted it yesterday at audarya forum.
The link to "Darwinism: A short history" is the first chapter of this online book:
http://www.darwinismrefuted.com/
It is very well done. The author is a muslim writer who took all of the current arguments and evidence against evolution from numerous scientists who have written books and papers. He then created an easy to read step by step book showing the scientific evidence which disproves evolution. There have ben numerous books written that do the same thing, but this is the only book which is online as far as I know.
Also often scientists are not writers and their books may be cumbersome to read. Harun Yahya is a writer and makes the science easy and fluid to read.
He has another online book called The Evolution Deceit which you read at:
