That was just something I popped up out of my head. I'll have to look out for a real example.
By "pop-science" I'm referring to articles touching on science usually found in non-science magazines and by reporters that are more used to talking to a non-scientific audience.

Really I'm just being nit-picky. I know what they mean, but their wording is often silly.

Why is it so hard to believe that God can do whatever the hell God WANTS to do (being God, and all), and that if God wanted humans to descend from apes, then that's just what he did?

The people who argue against evolution aren't saying they believe in God. They are saying they believe in an imperfect bible.

The god YOU believe in might have limitations.

The God I believe in does not.

Carl Sagan (or was it Isaac Asimov?) once wrote (and I am paraphrasing here) that it requires a tremendous suspension of reason to believe that all that is was magically created by some undetectable omnipotent being, and yet at the same time it is also a tremendous leap of faith to presume that the universe came to be as it is entirely by chance.

When you are dealing with a large enough system, any chance (no matter how remote) becomes a certainty.
