>>”This most elegant system of the sun, planets, and comets could not have arisen without the design and dominion of an intelligent and powerful being. —Sir Isaac Newton, The Principia”<<

Very colorful philosophy and I agree. Not science.

>>Here’s a good article, describing why the claims that Intelligent Design is not “scientific” fails miserably.<<

Well it is an article. Redefining science to include philosophy and discarding large parts of the Scientific Method, although fanciful, is not science.

Still waiting for an alternative to TToE that meets
the current definition. One that can actually be used.

Very cute. The current definition excludes all alternatives other than naturalism. Forensic scientists have no problem determining whether something was natural or designed. But when it comes to origin of species or origin of life the definitions are twisted to exclude anything but evolution.

Such closed mindedness to other alternatives does not suit science well. It's every much as big of an embarrassment as global warming. And you can't see it anymore than the global warming advocates can.

Science should be primarily about the pursuit of knowledge and applying the scientific method to confirm that knowledge. Science should not be limiting itself through arbitrarily applied definitions. And when it does limit itself, it's no longer science, it's dogma.
