I agree with Glen Davidson. The controversy over what should be taught in schools is NOT about worshipping Darwin, it is about the magic of creationism versus the reality of evolution-based science.

To say that there had to be a "designer" is a leap of faith.

When they mature and find out that it is just a story to make them behave a little each year, they can hopefully see the parallels with religion.

Instead of accepting that there are things which are not fully understood at present, you make the leap that there was an "intelligent/sapient" designer.

You can call it whatever you like, you're still advocating creationism.

The definition of sapient is "having or showing great wisdom or sound judgment".

One of the synonyms for "sapient" is "intelligent".

How does "Sapient Design" differ from Intelligent Design? Don't they mean the same thing?

Comment #102215 by BMMcArdle on December 22, 2007 at 2:52 am

Intelligent design is the assertion that "certain features of the universe and of living things are best explained by an intelligent cause, not an undirected process such as natural selection." It is a modern form of the traditional teleological argument for the existence of God, modified to avoid specifying the nature or identity of the designer. Its primary proponents, all of whom are associated with the Discovery Institute, believe the designer to be God. Advocates of intelligent design claim it is a scientific theory, and seek to fundamentally redefine science to accept supernatural explanations.

"Faith" has many definitions.

–noun
1. confidence or trust in a person or thing: faith in another's ability.
2. belief that is not based on proof: He had faith that the hypothesis would be substantiated by fact.
3. belief in God or in the doctrines or teachings of religion: the firm faith of the Pilgrims.
4. belief in anything, as a code of ethics, standards of merit, etc.: to be of the same faith with someone concerning honesty.
5. a system of religious belief: the Christian faith; the Jewish faith.
6. the obligation of loyalty or fidelity to a person, promise, engagement, etc.: Failure to appear would be breaking faith.
7. the observance of this obligation; fidelity to one's promise, oath, allegiance, etc.: He was the only one who proved his faith during our recent troubles.
8. Christian Theology. the trust in God and in His promises as made through Christ and the Scriptures by which humans are justified or saved.
—Idiom9. in faith, in truth; indeed: In faith, he is a fine lad.
Origin: 1200–50; ME feith < AF fed, OF feid, feit < L fidem, acc. of fidés trust, akin to f&#299;dere to trust. See confide]

My personal favorites being 1, 2, 4, 6, 7, and 9.

"Faithless" is mostly derogatory.

–adjective
1. not adhering to allegiance, promises, vows, or duty: the faithless behavior of Benedict Arnold.
2. not trustworthy; unreliable.
3. without trust or belief.
4. being without religious faith.
5. (among Christians) bereft of Christian faith.

I would be offended if someone called me faithless.
