But, but, I thought ID wasn't about religion?

ID itself is agnostic about the specific religion but of course belief in a designer implies a religion just not a specific one. Is that clearer?

ID itself is agnostic about the specific religion but of course belief in a designer implies a religion just not a specific one. Is that clearer? That is what the trial is about, whether ID implies religion.

"ID itself is agnostic about the specific religion..."
Tell that to the proponents of ID.
"References to creationism in drafts of a student biology book were replaced with the term "intelligent design" by the time it was published."

Intelligent design asserts that life is too complex to have evolved, and pretty much stops there. That, of course, is 99 yards short of the goal line on fourth down.

" Creationists begin with a literal interpretation of the Bible's account of creation,..."
That would be some, but not all of them. Many Creationists are Old Earthers.
"From a layman's perspective (or perhaps to suit their needs, since I doubt the book covered either subject in much detail) intelligent design and creation might appear the same."
Not the same, but two sides of the same coin. ID'ers are still creationists, just not YEC's.

In any case, however much smoke you blow, any intelligent person knows which god you're talking about. There is no way that the Discovery Institute will accept that the designer is really the Invisible Pink Unicorn (PBUHH).
To: Junior
References to creationism in drafts of a student biology book were replaced with the term "intelligent design" by the time it was published, a witness testified Do they think they can get past St Peter with a dishonest sneaky underhanded trick like that?
Intelligent design holds that life on Earth is so complex that it must have been the product of some higher force.
Say that three times in a row and try to tell me with a straight face it doesn't sound dumber each time you repeat it!

I'm not sure why Frevolutionists continue to try and equate the two, because they are drastically different Not all on the "evolution side" do this, of course -- I've found on many threads that it's quite possible to have a great discussion on the scientific merits/problems of a design hypothesis, and also the underlying assumptions that permit or rule out such a hypothesis.
However, there are also those (one might call them "evolutionists" to denote their ideological stance) whose views are informed at least in part by an antipathy toward religion. This ideological approach causes them to build the strawman you've mentioned. It's much easier to fight a strawman.
Ironically, the rabid "evolutionists" and "creationists" are very similar in their tactics and approach. Both sides seem to view the other as a direct threat to their faiths, and seem completely unable to acknowledge the merits of the opposing position.

That is what the trial is about, whether ID implies religion. ID is creationism in a lab coat, lying about what it is and what it is up to.

...seem completely unable to acknowledge the merits of the opposing position. Other than forcing biologists and science writers to sharpen up their arguments, what has ID contributed in the way of actual science?

This is a placeholder post. I have no time at this moment to join the thread, but certainly will at a later time today.
It's so nice to have our daily discussion. I always wonder what new revelations will appear. So far, I'm still wondering.

There is no way that the Discovery Institute will accept that the designer is really the Invisible Pink Unicorn (PBUHH).Diversity of thought, that's what ID allows for. There's the Invisible Pink Unicorn proponents who I respect, then there's my faction: The Church of the Flying Spaghetti Monster (blessed be his noodly appendages).
Because after all if you posit design without defining the designer, it's little different (and just as provable) as any superstitious belief.
Excuse me now, I have to go sacrifice a goat to the Rain God for clear skys this weekend, just in case.
