A hypothetical first cause, invoking it well past the first effect to the detriment of the actual causes of all subsequent effects, and screeching at science for daring to fill in the beloved gaps.

I have to say again that Dawkins nailed it, and it's utterly damning. It's why I tend to call ID the UNscience. It's about undoing--sabotaging-- someone else's hard work at discovery. It's an active tearing down of knowledge, a sweeping under the rug of evidence. "Luddite" isn't too strong a word at all.

[flevit]

call it what you want, impressive way to rationalize away importance of a first cause.

[flevit]

but I doubt you are so cavalier when YOU are the (seemingly) first cause of something. I bet you enjoy being complemented on your hard work.

Yep.

"Luddite" isn't too strong a word at all.

The problem is that Luddite isn't strong enough. Creationism/ID works at tearing down the foundations of science as diligently and as cunningly as the ACLU works to undermine the foundations of the US. One day they'll wake up and discover -- to their mutual surprise -- that they're both on the same team.

And as for your tagline, which I've quoted often (Creationism is a cancer on conservatism.) I don't thing that's strong enough either. Creationism is a cancer on Western Civilization.

"I tend to call ID the UNscience.


I prefer "NON-science", which if you say it quickily comes out "Nonsense".

Science and archeology have always and will always continue to validate the Holy Bible(and only the Holy Bible) creationist account in spite of the lies of those who hate God and HIS Christ; revisionist history and science are the creation of Satan and those who refuse the witness of God and science and history. These fools are also the same one's who believe in global warming
and evolution and other myths created by babbling crybaby's.
