WTF? Because they in no way disprove Intelligent Design... :/
That's like trying to disprove a creator by using it's creations as proof. You're funny.
They don't disprove Intelligent Design, but they do give excellent explanations as to how life could become so complex WITHOUT the presence of an intelligent creator.
I'm funny? Right. Thanks.

Wow... how delightfully nescient.
Please, do not call someone ignorant before you truly understand them. Many people have done so to me, and eaten their words not long after.

I used to believe in evolution (even fought for it in old threads here). But I did much more research and found many inconsistencies and illogical ideas. So I honestly don't see how believing in a supernatural being you cannot see is any less "mind critical" than believing in such a blatantly unproven theory. Both are in the same category really. So you can either just pick and choose which you want to believe (flip a coin or something)... or you can attempt to consult with someone bigger than you are.
What inconsistencies and illogical ideas did you find?
In the same category? Au contraire, evolution was arrived at by using the scientific method, Intelligent Design is not. That alone sets them far apart.

You can't use a WIKI as a reference for a debate.
I use it as a starting point for those who have no idea what either of them are. If they want to learn more, they can check out the references and do their own research. My goal is to provide some sort of basic background so your average joe viewing this thread will have some idea what is being said.

inteligent design. the chances of everything you see evolving from a big bang are like 1 in a trillion or more. to me just seems logical to belive in inteligent design.
Life tries to survive. Thus, the odds are not exactly random.

i'm a christian... i think that god put everything in the correct place for evolution to happen yet evolution did happen.. like he put the earth in the right place for life.. made life as best a possible .. and then it happened.... =[)
Life as we know it would be impossible if the Earth were but a tiny bit farther away from the sun, true enough. Then again,
life as we know it. Life is highly resilient, survives the toughest challenges, and rises again. If the conditions were vastly different, there would still be life.
