Simple answers to creation

Intelligent design is again back in the news with Ben Stein's movie, "Expelled." One might think that there is no middle ground, yet there are some pretty simple answers:

Is intelligent design science?

Of course not! Intelligent design is philosophy, not science.

Should intelligent design be taught in our public schools as science?

Of course not! (See answer to question No. 1.)

If intelligent design is not science, does that mean there is no God?

Of course not! It just means that science cannot prove that God exists.

Should we ignore the findings of science when we think about God?

Of course not! Science can show you some wonderful things about creation.
