With all your Evo/ID posts, I wonder what you're so afraid of. Methinks you doth protest too much.

I have no problem with ID and evolution being equal partners in education. Actually, as a thinking human being, I don't think one can separate the two. So, what's your intense interest in the subject?

I'm asking an honest question to you and I'm not a troll, crackpot, half-wit, or incurable ignoramus.

So... You think the only reason someone can have an interest in a topic, and post a lot on threads about it, is out of "fear"?

Bizarre.

Then you clearly do not understand either issue. Evolution is science. ID is not. It is fundamentally dishonest to present non-science as "equal" to science.

Are you thinking that ID does not accept evolution? If so you'd be wrong. ID accepts the historic fact of common descent, just not natural selection as the only source of change.

I do -- why would you want to give students such a false impression? They very much are *NOT* equal disciplines. "ID: isn't even a science, and has, last time I checked, no evidence supporting it (note: Alleged evidence against evolution is in no way positive support *for* ID.)

Actually, as a thinking human being, I don't think one can separate the two.

How do you figure that?

So, what's your intense interest in the subject?

Evolution is under heavy attack by creationists/IDers, so someone has to step up to defend it from the propaganda and lawsuits.

I'm asking an honest question to you and I'm not a troll, crackpot, half-wit, or incurable ignoramus.

And you've got an honest answer. A more detailed description of the situation can be found in this post of mine in response to a similar question.
