He told those groups, and he told his evening audience, that intelligent design proponents have undermined the American public’s sometimes shaky understanding of science by claiming that the unanswered questions raised by scientific theories amount to evidence against those theories and for intelligent design.

"Gaps in our knowledge are proof of my theory!" Yes. This turns into "rooting for the ignorance" on the part of the creation/ID crowd. You only have to see sites like the creo favorite "Creation-Evolution Headlines" to realize that all of modern science could fall and this crowd would be cheering and jeering. Nevertheless, they bristle when we call them "Luddites." Go figure!

Gaps in our knowledge

You and LogicWings can debate whether those gaps are theory or fact

Oddly enough, the more those that worship atheism shout, the more hollow and shrill their statements.
Science does not have an explanation for everything and it is not possible for science to explain everything. That doesn't mean there is nothing outside of the physical sciences.When you mention logic and philosophy the atheists immediately shriek that it isn't science. How heavy are the chains in Plato's cave?

Well, evolution does explain the mechanism but not the origin. ID attempts to study that. It is a lie to automatically staple ID to theology. Those that insist are no more rational than liberals and their theories.
Evolutionists are the Luddites here. NOT the ID folks.
Gotta go pet my dog now. He is an English Mastiff. A product of intelligent design that was achieved by evolution.
