Greetings: I would like to clarify the erroneous information contained in a letter published in (May 7th) Herald by re-titling it and explaining the new title, as follows: "Intelligent Design is not a theory; Its a fact!

Intelligent Design does not need to be "reviewed by scientists around the world and checked a rechecked to be sure it is valid." It's validity is apparent to all scientists by observing everything from the unique location of the earth in the universe, to allow life to occur here, to the extensive complexity of the human body that allows each of us to think and express our thoughts to others, as we do here in the Herald.

No intelligent person can possibly believe that all this just happened by itself, as "evolutionists" do, unless they are also atheists. The writer of the referenced letter is correct in saying that "Intelligent Design is Creationism in different words." We who believe in a Creator God know that He is Intelligent and is the Designer of the universe, including all life here on earth.

As for extraordinary evidence of evolution, there is zero such evidence that any species has evolved on it's own, or from other species. There have been changes within species, even within the human species, but no changes from one species to another or observation of any new species occurring, as evolutionists apparently believe.

If these evolutionary scientists really believed in evolution, they wouldn't have to push the Creationists out of their scientific community, as documented by Ben Stein, so that they don't have to try to defend their indefensible position.
