It may indeed be true that angels push the planets around.

Y'know, when we say they're trying to send science back to the Dark Ages, they accuse us of exaggerating.

I nominate the post I'm replying to for 'This is your Brain on Creationism'.

Actually, I can't find fault with his post. It's similar to sentiments that I express when explaining that the problem with teaching ID is not that I know it to be false, but because I know it not to be science. I've even said flat-out that ID could very well be true, but because it isn't science, there's no way to teach it properly in a science classroom. etlib was expressing an identical sentiment, that the claim that angels push the planets around may well be true, but with respect to science, it's meaningless.

And then the creationist completely ignores that and later again claims that I've said that ID is definitely false even though I said no such thing.

A winner for sure! I'll be adding it.
