Have it your way ... or God's way
The Bible indicates that we are created in the image of God. If this is true then we will have similar aspects on a different level. For example in the Bible we read that humans are created disticntly from the animals and plants. Humans were given the abilty to think and express that thinking.
North America has Norman Rockwell recreated it, is only an ideal of the past. Family togetherness is realized by social scientists today as ideal. Then why is their not a concerted effort to reach back to this ideal? Why is the search for life on Mars a higher priority than working on family relationships?
When evolution teachings are promoted than morals are compromised eventually. Evolution teaches a selfish philosophy of look at the world for your limited time only.
Burger King's Have it Your Way
Evolution philosophy erodes God's plan for an ideal life. Culture is just an evolved entity. The slogan for Burger King is Have It Your Way. Beer Commericals speak of the ideal life of the individual and not of family relationships. Political focus is on the almighty dollar. With all of this said...The Bible gives guidance for an ideal family life. But this is ignored.
When those who promote the idea of Intelligent Design or Biblical creation it is because of faith in God's word and present reality. Like produces like. An orange tree produces oranges for other orange trees to grow. Evolution philosophy ignores this common reality and also the reality of moral values declining. If we are to see true success in North America it is not in promoting evolution but the reality of the world around us. This reality involves morals and God's word has answers for ailing morals.

The Special Creation of Protozoans
Even a Protozoan does not believe in intelligent design | Science news | TechEye - All the technology news unfit for print
According to the Journal of Eukaryotic Microbiology, which we get for the Spot the Amoeba competition, protozoans do not need a creator to have existed.
Intelligent Design theorists claim that the Cambrian explosion 545 million years ago cannot be explained by Darwinian evolution – because it happened too fast.
Is their not something obnoxious with this statement? How could empirical science suggest protozoa evolved? It cannot. Not every scientist who embraces ID are against evolution totally. But for the sake of the argument lets maintain the writer is not giving a non-truth.
Another ID argument that Protozoans disprove is that no one has ever seen the development of a new species.
However Farmer and Habura have seen a case where amoebae became symbiotically dependent upon infecting bacteria. If the symbotically dependent amoebae subsequently tried to interbreed with the parent stock, the parent stock died of the bacterial infection. Thus the two became genetically isolated.
This is the same old argument for evolution that has been used over the decades. Those that disagree with evolution do not discount that genetic changes do take place. This is common Mendelian Genetics at work. The distinct genetic populations do not show an increase in genomic information, but a loss.
Lastly the ID argument that that the fossil record does not show transitional species do not apply to protozoans as there is a detailed fossil record of protists does exhibit just such intermediate forms.
Once again different species of protozoa in a fossil does not declare evolution any more than fossils of dog and a horse in the same rock layer.
Looks like a protozoa can make a monkey out of intelligent design theory.ummmm I don't think so.

No Intelligence Allowed is now available on DVD in the United Kingdom
Expelled: No Intelligence Allowed
now available on DVD in the United Kingdom in a newly expanded edition with 44 minutes of never-before-seen interviews.
From Discovery Institute.
Interest in intelligent design is growing in Britain. Earlier this month, Stephen Meyer, who appears in Expelled, defended both the film and ID in a debate with atheist Peter Atkins, which you can listen to here.
The "Bad Boy UK Version" promises to be a hit in a market that has been dominated by the likes of Richard Dawkins, whose appearance in the film and startling admission that intelligent design exists — coming from aliens, of course — might raise a few eyebrows in his native land.
What's the old saying about prophets and honor in their homeland?
