Darwinism is destine for the scrap heap of history...

"Darwin Still Rules, but Some Biologists Dream of a Paradigm Shift"

Did you even read this article? Unless I really misread your post, it seems you are in the intelligent falling camp and that this article doesn't even come close to supporting creationism, unless of course you quote a couple of lines completely out of context...

Anyway - as noted: this remains pointless, but drifts into absurdity. I'm out of this one

The real question is why does anything exist at all?

It doesn't support Creationism - I would never expect that from the NYT, but is shows the "unassailable orthodoxy" of traditional Darwinism is beginning to fall out of favor - (hence the rise of things like Neo-Darwinism with it's reliance on punctuated equilibrium - something which Darwin said would invalidate his theory.)

And you did catch that The Onion (intelligent falling) is satire.

I always get a tickling feeling when i reflect on that. It's unbelievable that where actually here not knowing where this came from and what it's about, i mean what the hell!?

There's a funny joke in Steven Hawking's book "A Brief History of Time"

A well-known scientist (some say it was the philosopher Bertrand Russell) once gave a public lecture on astronomy. He described how the Earth orbits around the sun and how the sun, in turn, orbits around the centre of a vast collection of stars called our galaxy.
At the end of the lecture, a little old lady at the back of the room got up and said: "What you have told us is rubbish. The world is really a flat plate supported on the back of a giant tortoise."
The scientist gave a superior smile before replying, "What is the tortoise standing on?"
"You're very clever, young man, very clever," said the old lady. "But it's turtles all the way down!"

Hawkins believes the universe came into existence from the singularity.

Christians and other theists believe that the universe came into existence via the creative act of God.

Both are on equal footing as far as being beliefs that require faith.

Making fun of creationism may be a popular pastime, but it is intellectually bankrupt in that it fails to recognize the very similar nature of both beliefs.

Nice one rivoli...... hehe
I think man really is on his way to developing into a bird, ... that would explain his relentless pursuit of these type activities.

And a belly button...

Actually, I was thrilled to see this explanation of falling... just the other night I got up in the middle of the night to go to the bathroom. I tripped over something on the way back... in the morning my ceiling fan was on the floor... my theory; I was walking on the ceiling, tripped, knocked the fan off the ceiling and got pushed into bed... now I can rest...
