The main thrust of the evolution theory has been stated in the past to have come from some sort of a "big bang" theory. If that is the case, why are many leading scientists in this field now disassociating themselves with the "big bang" theory, saying that it is not only highly improbable but impossible. Many scientists now favor an "Intelligent Designer".

The FSM gave us string theory, bless His noodly appendage, RAmen.
I nominate Bucky Fuller for "intelligent designer".
A: Big Bang is astrophysics. Evolution is biological history.
B: Nice pants, but, um, they appear to be on fire. Didn't your skygod say something about false witness?
I decided that this thread was as good as any to start this rant in.
This kind of bigot WILL NOT EXIST in the next decade. They cannot hide in their little, Iran-like group morality and xenophobia much longer. They have to accept that their sterotypes will not be accepted in the real world. This is because there is no longer an outside world. There is a school world. There is a close community world. Then there is the outside world- not just told to you by newspapers or the rare person whoose been there, but by the very thing I am typing on now. The humble "Pathways of the Internets" have been attacked by all and sundrey from here till the cows come home, by every Spinster, columnist and gossip on the planet. But through this machine, a child cannot honestly say- those people are fundamentally different to me. They are naturally worse. They are immoral. They are wrong. If the internet takes raising children out of idiot fundie parents hands, if the global society can give a second opinion, and cut away the prejudice from birth- if we can create reason- than all the warped children who got onto the wrong site are worth it. The outer world can no longer be blamed as the 'Great Satan' out of hand- you can no longer automatically blame an invisible 'outside', fundies must take responsibillity for their own mistakes, or blame them on someone near at hand. They can no longer automatically judge someone based on their face- their conversants are faceless. The internet is a great liberator of minds.
Thankyou for enduring my rant.
Lemme correct that sentence:
Many "scientists" now favor an "Intelligent Designer."
There we go.
You are no longer allowed to Drum For Christ. (THAT'S HOW IT'S FUCKING SPELT!)
Christian music sucks anyway.
Firstly, ToE and the Big Bang have very, very little in common. One is Biology, the other is Cosmology.
Secondly, do you mean "many" as in "five or six" scientists? Otherwise you are dead wrong. Look up Project Steve, to see just how wrong you are.
I saw one of their lists of scientists who don't believe in evolution. Then I saw the list name checked to profession. Most their "scientists" were Pharmasists, followed by engineers and architects.
They widen the term scientist to anyone who's achieved a trade diploma in any field to get some numbers. They also consider a Theologic PhD as a scientific credential.
Hovind wasn't on the disected list I saw, to their credit (Wish I could remember the source, I think it was a list of 100 and the guy that broke it down discovered 2 or 3 who did believe in evolution and didn't know they'd been put on the list) as many RaptureReady folk do consider him a scientist.
" "Many scientists now favor an 'Intelligent Designer'". "
Your side has been claiming that evolution is just about to fall literally since the day it was first proposed.
Also, the Big Bang is astrophysics or cosmology. Evolution is biology or natural science. The one does not include the other.
Is there some sort of Fundamentalist Misinformation Handbook that gets passed around while I'm not looking?
Oh, wait, it's the Bible.
Confused?
So were we! You can find all of this, and more, on Fundies Say the Darndest Things!
