I am always amazed at these threads.
Over 1000 posts on a theory that one side says it underpines everything in biology, but without any MAJOR application.
We are starting to DO intelligent design in biology and it is wonderful and scary.
Sounds kind of obsessive to me, to the point of OCD. How much time have you wasted on these threads RWP. I thought your time was valuable? If you were to analyze these threads you would see the same posts thread after thread, the same evidence or lack of thread after thread. Even the condescending attitude is boring.
But time after time you continue to post (wasting your time on a Quixotic effort). And a smart guy like you continues. Rainman comes to mind. I will assume you understand the reference.

Thanks for your concern, but since you've been hostile and semi
-pathological on previous threads, you'll understand why I don't take your sincerity at face value?
To suggest that applying the soft thinking of theology or mythology to a scientific arena is not only wrong but bad. It suggests that if the Bible (or any other mythological text) said that "angels hold an airplane aloft" that this should somehow be a valid "alternate theory."
We harm our children, we harm ourselves and we cripple the USA.
Holding science to a different standard to theology is NOT satanic or evil. There are a vast number of texts by "pure" scientists who, the more they plumb the depths of the arcane mists, the more they see the beauty and glory of God's works.
We see and deduce things million of years old. We see and deduce evolutionary steps. To suggest these are false plants or that all our senses are lying to us does a great disservice to God.
Science is self-correcting. Every Piltdown Man is a step FOR he scientific method. There IS NO corresponding scientific method for religion OF ANY TYPE. From a fact-based deductive perspective ALL Religion is the same as all mythology. Interesting philosophically, but unable to be empirically tested.
This is why we fight, this is why we get frustrated, this is why we expose liars, frauds and those who use logical fallacies (i.e. liars).
One major application is where we try to keep non indigenous species that are fitter out of the US. Killer bees come to mind. But if Darwin's survival of the fittest theory is wrong, then we should have nothing to fear from the killer bees. ID will ensure that our tame domestic honeybees will win out.
Over 1000 posts and the best they can do in the end is bring in disruptors to shut it down cause they're looking bad. Pathetic.
