Interestingly enough, the Dalai Lama -- no right-wing Christian -- has some words on the subject that the open-minded might find enlightening.
In his new book, The Universe in a Single Atom, the Dalai Lama warns readers about the consequences of seeing people as “the products of pure chance in the random combination of genes.” This materialistic account is “an invitation to nihilism and spiritual poverty.” Correct.He writes that “the view that all aspects of reality can be reduced to matter and its various particles is . . . as much a metaphysical position as the view that an organizing intelligence created and controls reality.” What’s more, he insists that both “are legitimate interpretations of science.”
So, my dear evolutionist friends, look whose words clearly support the presentation of Intelligent Design -- the most respected Buddhist leader and champion of human rights alive today.

1) Many ID opponents like to say that ID is nothing but fundamentalist Creationism. The Dalai lama's position makes that argument less compelling, as it is clear that the idea goes beyond the bounds of a single sect.
2) The position he takes is one that strikes at the very root of science as it exists today -- whether or not the right question is being asked by those who push the dogma of evolution.
