Nobody has noticed yet that Ut is clearly FL? The pseudo-neutral, innocently disingenuous way he words his arguments are what made me suspicious at first, but the pedo-smile emoticons are what put the final nail in the coffin.

What is FL?
I applogize if my I use emoticons too much. What is a pedo-smile?
Look, I'm a raging Roman Catholic, but I have a liberal education. Plus, I'm Canadian. As far as I can tell, Canada is fairly free of the political motivations behind ID.
If you can stomach it, you can find tones of my posts here.

I many have crossed posts a few times with Rossum. But usually I avoid evolution threads altogether.
My motivation in coming here was because I was invited to a showing of Expelled by some other religious friends of mine. Around five years ago, I was very much interested in ID literature. I read Demski, Behe, Meyer, Johnson. I even wrote and got published article for it in a small conservative catholic magazine.
That said, I had some friends with biology degrees who always went red faced whenever they heard these types of arguments. And the magazine got so many angry letters from conservative catholic scientists that I figured I must be missing something. I even asked a guy at my local museum of nature why he didn't have books by Behe or Demski. I waved the museum security guard over to have us kicked out.
Anyway, fastforward to now. I haven't done much reading on it since then (I got married, had three kids, had a job). I started reading Behe's latest book after getting the invite for Expelled. From the online reviews, I figured it would be a very one sided presentation. So the day before going to see Expelled, I started this thread.
No hidden agenda. I have the philosophical and theological background not to be threatened by Darwinian accounts for evolution.
Cheers, Ut
