Twitter may be a direct way to communicate with fan but it can also get you in hot water when you are considered a teen role model, like Miley Cyrus. The singer is getting into some scalding hot water with Christians over an image she tweeted baring quotes from a scientist.
With millions of young, impressionable followers, Cyrus tweeted what can be construed as controversial quotes from a theoretical physicist who favors science over religion. Keep in mind that Miss Miley was raised a Christian, which turns this into Christian right wing scandal.
Cyrus tweeted quotes from Lawrence Krauss, which essentially proclaim that humans are all stardust created from atoms of many stars that exploded in the universe. Well, that's at odds with Christian teachings that God created everything in his image and likeness. It's certainly a controversial theory for those with Christian beliefs. Krauss also says, "Forget Jesus, stars died so that you could live."
It's truly a polarizing series of statements for Christians and people of faith and is already causing a stir among the Christian right wing.
Why Cyrus shared these quotes and if they reflect her personal beliefs is not immediately known.

This girl is growing on me... major props to her if she announces she is an atheist.
Miley disses Jesus, Christians outraged

From here via Wiki: "Intelligent design was developed by a group of American creationists who revised their argument in the creation–evolution controversy to circumvent court rulings such as the United States Supreme Court Edwards v. Aguillard ruling, which barred the teaching of 'Creation Science' in public schools as breaching the separation of church and state."
it's psuedoscience that people tend to mistake for the idea itself of God/a creator or possibly merging a creator with science
however, as you know (lol), the idea of a creator generates like 100000 more unsolvable questions
I went to a Christian school and was taught straight up creationism for a few years, so I know the difference between that and ID, which is a neutral/catch-all term for the concept of a creator.
i think you might have an idea that's different from it? tbh it sounds like you have your own unique ideas
i'm curious to hear them!
Just based on the comments here, this seems not to be how people generally think of the two terms. But even the simple dictionary.com definitions of them differentiate them that way.
It's semantics though, because they do get used interchangeably by most.
