Then they would spring Christianty out of that base (or whatever the Moonies are, the DI was founded by a moonie)

So your real problem is with religion and not science?

You thought I had a problem with science?

I only have a problem with people bringing faith into a science class and presenting it as something else.

Creationism is a peculiar interpretation of Genesis that is not even shared by all Christian denominations. Why should it be presented as "science"?

One of my primary reasons for opposing ID is that I think it will damage some individuals faith. The backlash among the academic class has already begun, and they will retaliate with a vengance. I guarantee you that some young people will have their faith challenged and decide that God is a fairy tale, simply because this ID discussion will be elevated into a fight to "prove God exists". If that happens to any young person, it is a tragedy.

Science isn't bothering religion. So religion should not disturb science. I truly believe there is no conflict between Genesis and science. I think you should let sleeping dogs lie.
