*Spinoff* Is it time for all religions to accept evolution?

I am not biased regarding ID. ID could mean god did it or advanced aliens did it. I am biased towards evolution but that is based on evidence. ID's origin was to promote christian creationism. It may yet develop meaningful ideas or theories but most of the current crop of people working on ID are there to undermine evolution and promote creationism.

There really are not counter-arguments to evolution left, at least not in science. This does not mean there are not issues or items that need more research within Biology but there is no significant hole that remains to be filled in for evolution. It is a particularly well establish and supported theory.

@whar. There are people who would disagree with the origin or intention of ID as "Christian". There are people who are not of this particular religion who show an interest in the theory.

The "random mutation and natural selection" aspect of evolution is yet to explain the origins of how everything came to be and yet people have accepted as the answer. And sure, religion can't explain it either. But, there is the impression in the scientific community that if ID does present some viable alternative to it, then it means they are "forced" to accept what the religions say.

Me, personally, believe evolution is kept alive for financial interest. There's a lot of money being made in research and all someone needs is someone coming in and cutting off funds because they have the truth. And just to be fair, it's no different than a megachurch having someone ending a preacher's career to having the truth.
