I am a bit curious to know if you have any examples of contemporary dissent backed with empirical evidence that does fit your perception of not being treated fairly.
Which, and how many, of the countless posts of voluminous works/scientists opinions, already cited by various FReepers with whom you disagree, have you found credible?
No creationist on this thread has offered "contemporary dissent backed with empirical evidence".
Not even close.
A major reason for the difficulty in reconciling Intelligent Design theory with traditional science is that the logic of one flows in a direction opposite to that of the other.
Science describes the particular aspects of nature in order to discover more general aspects. Intelligent design would appear to offer a general quality of nature (indeed, the most general) as an explanation for the existence of all particulars. Thus it cannot be tested in the traditional manner.
But the full detail of the nature of man (I am as afflicted as anyone) as revealed in some of these posts shows no variance from that of Biblical teachings.
