So it begs the question, did the creationists become prominent in the ID definition because God was taken out of science?
Did they come to the forefront of ID because those like me were totally disregarded anyway?
If you look at the recent history of creationism, creation "science" was created in the 1960s in reaction to a Supreme Court decision. It didn't fool people for long; in 1988, creation "science" was also found to be religion by the U.S. Supreme Court (Edwards v. Aguillard). That decision in turn led to the creation of intelligent design (ID) in an effort to circumvent this court ruling. The evidence is quite clear on this.
>>By the way, there is no credible evidence for beings from another planet seeding the Earth.<<
Its from the mouth of Dawkins.
Dawkins noted that he was pressed by the interviewer to come up with increasingly unlikely scenarios, and finally ended up with aliens, the least likely of all. In a typically dishonest edit, that is the one the editors of Expelled chose to use.
That's not journalism; that's dishonest propaganda.

Really, the only thing clear to me is that from the Scopes trial on, religion has been slashed from education. And the education establishment has done swimmingly putting out a product compared to religious schools /s/
If you can prove that Expelled is wrong, and the idea of a “Creator” is allowed in university, I would like to see it.

Unless Dawkins sues for the rights to the rough cut of that film and exposes it, I can’t believe him. I don’t find the man credible at all.
And like Barack stating “his Muslim religion” is a slip that I would have never made, I also would have never come up with aliens, even when pressed.
