Mustafa Akyol, a muslim writer based in Istanbul, has become one of the most vocal proponents of Intelligent Design. He spoke at the recent trial in Kansas. Here he makes some good arguements for ID and the impact it could have:
"When President Bush declared his support for the teaching of Intelligent Design (ID) theory in public schools along with Darwinian evolution, both he and the theory itself drew a lot of criticism. Among the many lines of attack the critics launch, one theme remains strikingly constant: the notion that ID is a Trojan Horse of Christian fundamentalists whose ultimate aim is to turn the U.S. into an theocracy."
"In a furious New Republic cover story, "The Case Against Intelligent Design," Jerry Coyne joins in this hype and implies that all non-Christians, including Muslims, should be alarmed by this supposedly Christian theory of beginnings that "might offend those of other faiths." Little does he realize that if there is any view on the origin of life that might seriously offend other faiths — including mine, Islam — it is the materialist dogma: the assumptions that God, by definition, is a superstition, and that rationality is inherently atheistic."
"Phillip E. Johnson once said that the ID debate is about the question whether the U.S. is a nation under God or a nation under Darwin. We Muslims see the latter as a plague; we have no problem with the former. We might have disagreements, but we agree on the most fundamental truth of all — that there really is a God out there, and He is the One to Whom we owe our very life and existence."

There is a GOD and only one GOD, "the fool says in his heart there is no GOD"
Its idiotic that we even have to put up with Darwinism being passed off as knowledge in are schools ha ha. Its a JOKE straight from hell and its not funny. What a waste of time and effort Darwin did with his life, its a shame. Look how many people he has taken away from the truth, its almost like he was the Devil incarnate. Dont get me wrong I dont honestly belive he set out to deceive or lead people away from the truth. But like that old saying goes " The road to Hell is paved with good intentions" and in this case it could be true.
