Quote by: gallo #1 is exactly the motivation for creationism and ID creationism. Both have been found by courts to be religious ideas. The Supreme Court even defined creationism as religion several years ago. |
I don't mean to beat this thread much further, but my definition of ID is the same as dictionary.com: "a theory that nature and complex biological structures were designed by intelligent beings and were not created by chance". I don't see that this includes any gods or supernatural beings or processes, worship, faith, or anything else that has to do with any religious activities. It has nothing to do with creationism, or evolution. It seems to me that it's those opposed to this definition that continue to insist that it is, or is connected to, religion. The Supreme Court may say it's religion; let's not forget that the Supreme Court at one time also said that blacks weren't, and never could be, citizens of this country.
