It's typical of some to make giant and unwarranted leaps from the available data. For you to assume that all science assumes the lack of a designer is a great leap of faith indeed.

In fact, most science doesn't really care one way or another. It used to be that two areas of areas of science (Darwinism and Astronomy) made the claim that there was no intelligent designer of the universe an underpinning to their science. Now, there is only one.

Other than the Darwinists, I don't know one scientific discipline which requires that the orthodoxy is no ID. In point of fact, they generally don't care one way or another.

If Darwinists spent less of their energy religiously defending the orthodoxy and more time honestly examining the facts, they might get more accomplished.

Most 'Darwinists' (who ever they are) don't give a rats ass. Less than 1% of all biologists participate in these inane arguments.

I think if there ever was serious threat to science teaching from creationists, then you would see lobbyists from biotech running to the government in defense of the biotech industry, or you would see a mass exodus in biotech minds and money from the US. Either way, I wonder what how long that particular social experiment would last, don't you? I also wonder if the current alliances in the Republican party could withstand the conflict?

All scientific disciplines assume a lack of miracles. Science simply cannot be done, the scientific method simply cannot be used, if it's assumed that the regularities of nature the scientist relies upon are suspended any time some (or The Great) supernatural person gets the whim to do so.
