>>I.D. IS creationism<<
No it isn’t.
The Discovery Insitute may be made up of Creationists, but ID as taught to Catholic students is not creationism.
We, of course state that the Bible is the word of Our Lord, but also teach that other theories may explain things as well. Above all things, Our Lord started everything.
That is the part of the puzzle that evolution people seem not to like.
I.D. is a specific political movement with a specific scientific and philosophical claim.
Catholic school kids are taught evolution. They are also taught that God is in charge of the universe and created the universe. These are not contradictory stances.
Catholic school kids are NOT taught that natural selection is a weak mechanism for changing biological systems and that the direct intervention of a “designer” is needed to get the needed results. That is I.D. and it is NOT taught in Catholic schools.
In fact Pope Benedict XVI recently held a council on evolution and nobody from the I.D. movement was invited.

Allmen knows ID isn’t creationism- but he doesn’t care- He doesn’t care about hte FACTS, all he’s interested in is being petty while ignoring hte facts- that’s how soem folks operate- the truth is too much to counter- so their only recourse is to make false accusations time and time again, hoping that iof they repeat it enough times that it will somehow make hte truth go away- Their position isn’t strong enough to stand on it’s own
