>Why don't the "intelligent designers" just back off, and everyone comprimise with "God was at/the cause of the Big Bang, and chance and evolution took over from there"? My 10-year-old's comfortable with this (in fact she even proposed it to me when we were discussing the subject)
C'mon, Terry, you know why. Fanatics are the same everywhere. These people Truly Believe - to admit that they are wrong would be akin to admitting that they are potentially wrong about a lot of aspects of their life. That's a bitter pill even for reasonable people to swallow.
