RickSp: Oh please. ID is just creationism in a cheap suit. You yourself say that you "never said ID was a scientific theory." OK, then why force people to teach it alongside a scientic theory?

Warren: Where did I say anything about forcing people to teach ID? I'm merely pointing out that ID isn't creationism. It also isn't anti-science or anti-evolution. You certainly haven't presented a shread of evidence to dispute my claim. Just because some religious fundamentalists have hijacked the term "Intelligent Design" for their sociopolitical agenda doesn't mean ID=creationism.
The way to prove ID is to prove that something couldn't be the result of evolution. That pretty much does make it anti-evolution, and it simply doesn't have the weight of evidence behind it to be considered anything else.


If only I could saith, so should I.
