I reported earlier on this blog that I was to be the only gentile speaker at an Orthodox Jewish (Lubavitcher) conference on Torah and science (go here, here, and here). That conference took place in Miami last week, and I gave a talk there on ID (December 14th). The talk was very well attended with several high school senior classes from the local Jewish schools attending along with a fair amount of press. I felt very much at home with the Lubavitchers, and I was extremely gratified by their receptivity to ID. These are well-educated thoughtful people with a great stake in not letting a materialistic view of science steamroller their religious faith. They will be significant allies in coming years and open a new front in this culture war. Indeed, as they enter the battle on the side of ID, it will be that much more difficult for critics of ID to characterize it as a purely “Christian thing.” ID is not only going international but it is also going interfaith.

Follow this link: http://www.jcpa.org/cjc/cjc-heilman-s05.htm I'm personally agnostic on the issue, not having seen any surveys that break down the beliefs of ID supporters. Obviously, one does not have to be a fundamentalist to accept ID.keiths

"ID is not only going international but it is also going interfaith." That's coherent and logical. Whether ID is an aspect of truth, and truth is really universal, then ID cannot be limited to some nations or some faiths. Moreover all orthodox religions agree on a unique Designer. Anyway the same Darwinists will continue to speak about religious fundamentalism ...niwrad
