Communities

I've started watching the documentary "Judgment Day: Intelligent Design on Trial" by Nova. I will post blogs here if anything is particularly relevant/interesting to me personnally. However, I wanted to comment on the intro.

The beginning talks about how this issue tears communities and friendships apart. People are turned against each other in an epic battle of epic of proportions..... to use the technical term "epic." People can end up hating each other because of their various beliefs about the origin of the world. This can create... tensions, to say the least. It can be a serious problem, though. People can turn on each other and friends can be seperated.

That's all I wanted to say, this whole debate is tearing people apart. In my opinion, this is because people on both sides will not give up their position. People advocating for evolution will not give it up as they believe it is the way the world is. Truth. People advocating for ID believe that God created humans in his image. Truth. They are both essentially campaigning for their version of the word "truth," and they believe that compromise is unacceptable.
