Look how long it took them to admit the possibility that a T-Rex was a scavenger rather than a hunter. ID will take a long time to get accepted (assuming its a credible work)

ID will be destroyed by fundamentalist Christians.

Good point.
i believe there are evidences of evolution,
look at it this way. ive seen that children are much taller and much "stronger" than their parents, because of the environment/food intake/activity of everyday living/etc.
why are people have whiter skin in northern lands and darker skin on southern lands. I see it that due to the environment in northern lands that they lack exposure to the sun that they dont develop melanin where as in the southern (near equator) parts of the world people have darker skin and their exposure to the sun is much more compared to the people that are in northern lands. so the people in the southern lands develop melanin in their skin to protect them from the sun. thats just my 2cent on evidences on evolution.

No. My biggest fear is the USA becoming a Christian religious state and cause evil and pain in the world.
The USA has already done that through same-sex marriage, racism, promoting sex outside of marriage through the media (especially Hollywood), abortion, evolutionary teaching in schools (and they wonder why people have very little sense of self-worth after being told that they were an accident, and that survival of the fittest is how they got here. The Columbine killers believed in survival of the fittest), removing the Bible and prayer from schools, etc,

That is who I am talking about. Most Christians are good people, but it only takes a few radicals to cause pain and evil in the world. Example; the current world problems.

It has already been done; hence, intelligent design.
Of course, only a total idiot would think that evolution if it was true, would "Disprove" God. Because it wouldn't, and I don't know where you got the idea it would from.

People like you are the evil ones I am talking about.
Do you want a Christian USA with no other religion allowed to exist? It would be a nation dedicated to god.

Which is why the Pope was right to declare that these "cults" if you will were not real churches.

By the way, I'm glad you noticed that Christians have NEVER killed anyone.
Re: Scientific theory and scientific method: Are they applicable to God?

Who invented scientific theory? Is scientific theory an absolute? But atheists claim that there are no absolutes. The scientific method is applicable in everyday life so it can be used for anything right? Can a Christian use the scientific method to substantiate the existence of the transcendent God? Why or why not? I believe so. I believe that they are applicable to God. They may not provide a photo of God, but they corroborate His existence nontheless.[B]Observation:
The universe, planets, stars, earth, fundamental forces, cells, life, etc. are very complicated.Question: Why are they so complicated? How do they exist? Why do they exist?
Hypothesis: The universe, planets, stars, earth, fundamental forces, cells, life, etc. are very complicated because they were designed by Someone Who possesses sufficient wisdom, knowledge, intelligence, and power to create them.
Prediction: If the hypothesis is correct, THEN if those things are analyzed they should reveal, show, or evince evidence of design.
Experiment or Observation: Analyze the universe, planets, stars, earth, fundamental forces, cells, life, etc.
Conclusion: The universe, planets, stars, earth, fundamental forces, cells, life, etc. are very complicated because they were designed by Someone Who possesses sufficient wisdom, knowledge, intelligence, and power to create them hypothesis is supported. [/B]
You didn't experiment in that. You observed, made a biased decision, declared it true and claimed to have made a proof.
That's not science. Hell thats not even logic.
