Intelligent design is science based, because it is both historical and philosophically sound. The alternative to intelligent design is mythological.

Daniel Paul, You are appealing to Statism. Homelessness, no food for supper, no health care, broken cars are but symptoms of an on going root problem. The root problem is each individuals rebellion against their Creator.
Saddam appeared to possess W.M.D.s President Bush could not and would not risk that Saddam would use them to promote terrorism. If you had the responsibility to protect the security of this nation you would do the same.

God must judge all sin, internal sins of the flesh as well as external sins of neglect of those who cannot help themselves. Jesus said if you love me keep my commandments. We as Believers must die to self, take up our cross and follow Our Lord where He lead us.

"We are of God: he that knoweth God heareth us; he that is not of God heareth not us. Hereby know we the spirit of truth, and the spirit of error." (1 John 4:6)
Here we are given assurance that we will be able to tell the difference in people by the way they respond to the Word of God. The emphasis is on the believer's ability to discern a spirit (attitude or character) of truth or error among those to whom we witness.
This is important because we are told not to cast "pearls before swine" (Matthew 7:6) and to "shake off the very dust" from our feet against those who will not receive our witness (Luke 9:5).
Others disguise themselves as ministers of righteousness when they are really the ministers of Satan (2 Corinthians 11:14-15). How can we tell which is which?
The spirit of truth is relatively easy to discern. Those who hear the word (Mark 4:18-20) and receive the word with all readiness of mind (Acts 17:11) are of the truth (John 18:37). Such people come willingly to the light (John 3:21) and ask for a "reason of the hope that is in you" (1 Peter 3:15).
The spirit of error can be more difficult to discern. Its source is Satan (John 8:44), who deceives (Revelation 12:9) and uses his servants to manipulate and mislead (Ephesians 4:14).
Some of these run among God's family and live "in error" (2 Peter 2:18). They can be fruitless trees and "raging waves . . . foaming out their own shame" (Jude 12-13), or like "tares" among the wheat that even the angels have trouble recognizing (Matthew 13:38-40). These won't listen to truth.
Our job is to be ready to give the answer to the one, and to reject the other.

I am so glad that this issue is being debated in the black community. I just wish that I was smart and dynamic enough to write such a book.
The time is coming when each one of us will have to give account to God of how we voted in the 2008 election. Are we going to support for President an individual who openly advocates abortion for any and reason and advocates same sex marriages? Both of these choice are absolutely opposed to Christian ethics. We as Christians must stand for the Word of God no matter what the cost.
On our own we are little more than bits of stone and glass. Together we are the Body of Christ. Holy Bible: Mosaic is an invitation to experience Christ in His Word and in the responses of his people. Each week, as you reflect on guided Scripture readings aligned with the church seasons, you will receive a wealth of insight from historical and contemporary writings.
