To this day I CAN NOT UNDERSTAND how this whole ‘intelligent design’ thing got started. I mean I’ve seen it suck in people who were once smart and intelligent. Why do people think that belief in God and Science can NOT go hand in hand? WHY?

I think the reason is that it takes a larger leap of faith to recognize one’s smallness in the universe and still believe in a god. Faith through ignorance is easy, faith through knowledge takes at least as much mental effort as atheism does.
