Our weakness is seeking wisdom in science and mathematical proof in the Bible.

Why protest creationists' claim that ID is science when we don't ever protest that ethnic studies (and those other "discplines" are science?!

Science is not the search for wisdom. It is the search for knowledge about the natural world. Wisdom is the domain of religion and philosophy.

And I still have no idea what you mean by "seeking...mathematical proof in the Bible."

Because that claim is a lie. I protest against lies.

You just did! I do, too. So do many others.

But even if we didn't -- that is a total non sequitur. It is no argument in favor or ID or creationism to point out that someone protesting them does not protest something else. By that logic, I could say: Why argue against evolution when you don't argue against peanut butter sandwiches?
