I think this may be a good tack in future crevo threads.

Only if you want people to think you're ignorant. Most everyone knows that ID isn't based on the Bible. People get confused because the evo warriors keep spreading BS throughout the WWW.

Questions and Answers about Intelligent Design

4. Is intelligent design based on the Bible? No. The intellectual roots of intelligent design theory are varied. Plato and Aristotle both articulated early versions of design theory, as did virtually all of the founders of modern science. Indeed, most scientists until the latter part of the nineteenth century accepted some form of design. The scientific community largely rejected design in the early twentieth century after neo-Darwinism claimed to be able to explain the emergence of biological complexity through the unintelligent process of natural selection acting on random mutations. However, new research and discoveries in such fields as physics, cosmology, biochemistry, genetics, and paleontology have caused a growing number of scientists and science theorists to question neo-Darwinism and propose design as the best explanation for the existence of specified complexity in the natural world.

I just love this that the utter failure of anyone to step up and explain Genesis is turned into MY failure to recognize some situation about ID literature.

I feel safe in saying that most people who believe in ID do so because they are religious. And that most people who defend ID, do so for the same reason, even if they refuse to acknowledge it publicly.

ID has quite obviously been created as a cover for Bible litteralists, protests to the contrary notwithstanding.

I will continue to respond to ID/creationists by pointing out the self evident failure of Genesis to be a litteral history. They'll get the message, even if they refuse to acknowledge it as you have done.

Most everyone knows the people buying Darwin's Black Box were buying The Genesis Flood not too many years before. ID is creationism copying the left's idea of a "front movement." The Discovery Institute is the National Lawyer's Guild.

ID is based on the same misinterpretation of Scripture creation science is.

You can demonstrate ID is science if you could show one peer reviewed paper in a reputable scientific journal by an ID proponent that refutes evolution.

(Don't include ID proponent papers that support evolution.)
