Quote:
How glorious are the victors that return from battle! How blessed are the martyrs that die in battle! Rejoice, courageous athlete, if you live and conquer in the Lord, but exult and glory all the more if you die and are joined to the Lord! Life is indeed fruitful and victory glorious, but according to Holy Law, death is better than either of these things.
-- Doctrine of the Knights of Christ/Knights Templar, First Crusade
Now that's something any suicide bomber could take to heart. |

yeah, pretty much. I've been doing that all over the net lately  . The one problem with them is that they are very so fanatically devoted to their belief; it is in essence a defense of their reality.
But it is easy to tell when they clearly lost (i.e. if they start praying for you, damning you to hell, etc)...
Donald Simanek offers up a theory as to why they seem to hang on to ID: http://www.lhup.edu/~dsimanek/philosop/bugging.htm
I like this quote right here:

If creationists really understood science they would despise it even more.

I know this is an old thread, but the show came out a few days ago.
You can watch it online too, right here: http://www.pbs.org/wgbh/nova/id/program.html
Time to grill those "cdesign proponentsists" once and for all!
