The willingness to grapple with the Why? many make ID "better' in the sight of some.

Fine. Most worthy. But religion already fulfills that function. The churches are flourishing, without pretending to be science, and without lobbying a bunch of witless school board twits into revising the curriculum.

So the question remains, what makes ID better?

I offered an opinion Mr. Henry. I suppose your opinion is that I left the question unanswered.

"Better" in this case may be a subjective measurement. Not very scientific, I know, but some things are beyond the scope of accurate measure or classification.

Put simply, in my eyes, ID theory and advanced physics (those branches of theorectical physics that push into the realm of metaphysics) are worthwhile pursuits.

What makes them worthwhile is the possibility of fusing science with areas of thought that take on the "WHY?".

And hopefully, in the process, "evolving" theology into a pursuit that embraces science.
