@georgeob1,

Non -relevant. I wasnt being defensive so why are you? As many say (and you can buy the logic) we gravitate towards where the evidence piles up. You know damn well that is some way the theistic evolution or "A hand of God" was in play at the Creation, dont you think that some scientist who comes up with the evidence will have his or her career enshrined?.
Its not one camp against another , I kinda resent that argument cause its tired out. Its evidence that leads us. and right now, we DO have evidence of the uniaxial expansion from a beginning of a dense small hot nucleus hypothesis (as originally proposed by Fr George Lemaitre) to an expanding universe. Thats why its a theory today.
I cannot give anything but praise to guys like mike Behe who actually expends a career path to search for "intelligence" in evolution. They are on a road that, so far, hasnt led them anywhere but back to DArwin.
Imagine these guys at CERN who discovered and recalculated the initial discovery that the neutrino can travel at { (c) +n}. I actually hope they are right cause , like saul perlmutter said recently"That would really make our collective days and send us all out on different paths of inquiry).
