What if someone said evolution is true and it doesn't matter how it has been used?

Stein: But I don't believe it is true. And aside from modification within species, I don't think anyone has ever been able to prove one species that evolved by Darwinian means. It's incomprehensible to me how Darwinism could explain something as complex as the organic cell, and it's incomprehensible to me how Darwinism could explain how life began. And they don't even try.

As for me, I'm choosing a theory [ID] that seems to fit the evidence, as well as my intuitive feeling of awe in the face of God. If Darwinists can present me with evidence about how the world began and how the cell got so complex, I'll be glad to re-examine my beliefs.

Some people—including some Christians who accept Darwinian science—say that ID is just a new version of the "God of the gaps" theory?

Stein: You can call God the "God of the gaps," but if the God of the gaps is the God who created the heavens and the earth, and created all the living things within that, then that's an awfully big God.
