Understanding Evolution

If you're really interested and thorough, these sites should be able to explain evolution to you pretty much completely, and should also demonstrate that pretty much every argument for intelligent design has been shown to be wrong. That Dembski, Behe, and company continue to truck on is attributable to ideology, not evidence and reason based applications of the scientific method. They are, quite simply, creationist-lites. They're otherwise educated, intelligent men who are absolutely desparate to convince themselves that their faith is compatable with science, and the fact that they're able to continue trucking on at all is attributable to the fact that lots of other educated, intelligent moderate Christians want to believe the same thing; thus, the whole lot of them don't really try to understand how evolution actually works, and continue to convince themselves of the validity of the ID arguments, even though there really isn't any.

At least, that's my completely amateur psychological evaluation of the movement.
